Perspectograph

an instrument for the mechanical drawing of objects in perspective. The object is placed in front of the eye, which is applied to a small hole. A movable hinged bar is so adjusted as to bring a point between the eye_and a certain part of the object.

The bar is then folded down and the mark transferred to the paper. A series of such marks affords data for the drawing of the object. PERSPIRATION PERTINAX
