Vintage-Inspired Wooden Drawing Machine Produces Complex Designs with the Turn of a Crank. Long before there were plastic drawing toys like the Spirograph, there were wooden drawing machines.
Dating back as far as the 1880s, these mechanical devices produced intricate geometric images using a pendulum or working along a curve, known as a cycloid.

LEAFpdx has corrected this with their contemporary take on the classic device that they’ve aptly-called the Cycloid Drawing Machine. Unlike its predecessors, LEAFpdx has made their device infinitely adjustable with a fulcrum that rotates and moves. “Gone are the simple rotary drawings of old,” the company writes. Each Cycloid Drawing Machine package comes with all its required parts, including a base, three geared turntables, 18 wooden gears, colored pens and paper.
