description Book explaining and showcasing the works of the pendulograph. This drawing machine operates with two pendulums set to swing at the same revolution as a musical note, so that it can be &quot;tuned&quot; to musical intervals, as the author demonstrates. The pendulums are attached to moving arms, which hold a pen over a paper on a still desk. The arm&#39;s movements led by the pendulums swinging at different rates create the designs here.<br /> <br /> The book contains 22 plates and manuscript additions explaining the science of musical revolutions, including four loose pendulograph drawings and four pendulographs inserted in the printed text. Also contains a printed handbill advertising the publication of <em>The Pendulograph</em>.
