Universal Design Maker Meccanograph
Built by Chris Fry in January 2013
A slightly modified version of the Universal Design Maker Meccanograph by Andreas Konkoly. The motion is as per the original, but I have made some minor structural changes and made adjustment of the pen-arm more convenient with the addition of special finger tightened fixings. The table oscillates harmonically due to the incorporation of a single-throw eccentric. By selecting the gear used in the rotation of the turntable, designs of 2, 3, 4, 5, and 7 lobes can be made.
