(According to the dotted line in the picture above, the rest can be done by the same manner, and then obtain the magnified pattern of each multiple marked on the ruler). Tips: The plastic arms flex a bit, but if you keep lifting the arms up to keep stress from building up, you can get some accurate marks. The key thing to remember on using a pantograph is that it is best used to mark key locations on your drawing with dots. Then to make the actual drawing you connect the dots smoothly. If the pantograph is used to try to make a continuous line, the stylus drags and flexes the arms and you lose accuracy. Also, tighten all the hinge joints so that they were snug to eliminate slop. Not too snug though because they need to hinge smoothly. They all have a thin threaded nut and then a locking nut to keep just the right amount of snugness. Tighted the thin nut to the right amount and then tighted the locking nut down on top of it to hold everything in place. The pencil connection works differently. The thin nut is on thensame side as thenled holder and the locking nut fits on the other side. This gives some adjustability and allows the lead vise to be tightened properly. Use it to locate and mark key points on your drawing and then separately connect the dots. Makes for a much better drawing.
