    I saw a similar design done in the early 80's, except they also had incorporated a second linkage with rotary encoders to be used as an input digitiser device.

    So the operator could trace an outline or draw freehand and the plotter would directly follow it like a telechir device.

    Also like a telechir device, the operator could add a scaling factor to enlarge or reduce the size of the output in relation to the input movements.

    Very similar to the pantograph drawing tools that had been a craze in the 70's (probably had influenced the project), however the input movements could also be captured, stored, edited, and then replayed over and over without any further user input (probably inspired by having to do 'lines' at school.).
