A pantograph (from Greek roots παντ- 'all, every' and γραφ- 'to write', from their original use for copying writing) is a mechanical linkage connected in a special manner based on parallelograms so that they move in a fixed relationship to each other.\n\nThe first pantograph was constructed in 1630 by Christoph Scheiner, who used the device to re-create diagrams. One arm contained a small pointer while the other held a drawing implement, and by moving the pointer over a diagram, a copy of the diagram was drawn on another piece of paper. By changing the positions of the arms in the linkage between the pointer arm and drawing arm, the scale of the image produced can be changed. A more complicated version called an eidograph was developed by William Wallace in 1831. Modern versions of pantographs can be found in many toy stores.\n\nThomas Jefferson built his own pantograph into his house Monticello.\n\nAnother common use for the pantograph was to construct "drafting machines". In these devices the arms were arranged in such a fashion to keep the "pen" arm at a specific angle in relation to the "pointer" arm - although the pointer and pen are missing. The "pointer" arm is fixed to the side of the table at a right angle, implying that that "pen" end is likewise at a fixed right angle no matter where it is moved. Typically a straight-edge is placed at the "pen" end, which can then be used to quickly draw a series of parallel lines. Drafting machines replaced the older system of t-square and triangles, speeding up drawing.\n\nA type of pantograph was used in the early days of sound recording to duplicate phonograph cylinders in the late 19th century.

I can't explain it but if you go to www.howstuffworks.com, that might help.

As far as I know, it was invented by Martin Luther during the 1500's.  When he posted his Thesis against the Catholic Church, he used it to get the Word of God into the hands of the common people.

I would suggest a trip to the library. Look for books on inventors. Also, meet the person sitting behind the desk that says, "reference". You are why they live.

Is this the give typewriters to an infinate number of monkeys with infinate time and they will eventually \nproduce the entire works of Shakespere??\n\nbasically saying that eventually by pure luck / randomness\nthey will hit exactlt the right keys etc etc.\nOr If you keep at it, you get there in the end.

"Bibliomancy, also known as Stichomancy amd Libromancy, is a form of divination that seeks to know the future by randomly selecting a passage from a book, frequently a sacred text.\n\n"The most common procedure involves placing the book on its spine, and with eyes closed, allowing the book to fall open to a random page. Then, with the eyes still closed, place a finger on the open page and read the passage indicated."\n\nhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bibliomancy\n\nA best guess at when it would've become a popular form of divination would be the mid-15th century, which is when mass production of printed materials was made possible by the invention of moveable type.\n\nhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gutenberg_Bible\nhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Printing_press

I suggest using a filesharing system such as WinMX or LimeWire.  The Gutenberg Project (prob misspelled) also has loads of ebooks available for free.
