(Trair-), all, + ypaQeiv, write. Also, erroneously, 
pentegraph, as if < Gr. jrftre, five, + ypdfatv,

copying of engravings, diagrams, plans, etc., 
either upon the same scale or upon a reduced 
or an enlarged scale. It consists of four perforated 
limbs or rules, a, b, d, e, of wood or metal, arranged in pairs, 
jointed together at the crossing, the two pairs being also 
Pantograph. 
r, b, d, and e are rule.-) perforated with a series of holes placed at 
tduated distances for adjustment to different scales for enlarge- 
menflrb 
; similar 
a, 
graduae stances or austment to - 
ment or reduction of the picture to be transcribed; aand b are per- 
intly but movably jointed at c to a traversing support ; rf and e 
jointed together at e and h. The perforations are made at 
uniform distances, in accordance with a scale of measure- 
ment. The pivoted joints by which the two pairs are con- 
nected are constant, while the joints between the inter- 
secting limbs of each pair may be shifted by inserting the 
joint-pins //in different holes in each limb. By chang- 
ing the pins the copy may be reproduced on any scale 
either larger or smaller than the original, or it may be 
kept of the same size, the proportion being indicated for 
convenience by figures on the limbs (not shown in the cut)! 
In use, the end pivot i is fixed to the table, the pivot e 
sliding on the plane surface according to the impulse 
given to it. The pivot g carries a tracing-point which is 
passed over the original lines to be reproduced, and the 
pivot ft carries a pencil or needle which traces the copy 
or pricks it in the paper. The pantograph is used for 
transferring patterns to calico-printing cylinders, in some 
processes of wood-carving, in making wooden type, etc. 
Polar pantograph, a modification of the pantograph 
arranged for reproducing profiles of curved figures, as the 
tread of a car-wheel, the interior of a bell, or any other 
irregular form. It consists essentially of two arms sup- 
ported in a light frame and united by means of a rack on 
each and a pinion common to both, so that the movement 
of one arm controls that of the other. When the point of 
the instrument is placed against the tread of a car-wheel, 
and is moved over it, the other arm reproduces a tracing 
that is an exact copy of the tread, showing such flattened 
places as may have resulted from wear, and such other 
irregularities as are present,

2. (a) Under the Roman empire, a kind of spec- 
tacular play resembling the modern "ballet of 
action," in which the functions of the actor 
were confined to gesticulation and dancing, 
the accompanying text being sung by a chorus ; 
in modern times, any play the plot of which is 
expressed ly mute gestures, with little or no 
dialogue ; hence, expression of anything by 
gesture alone: as, he made known his wants in 
pantomime. 
In the early days of the Empire tragedy was dissolved 
into choral music and pantomimic action ; and the panto- 
mime, a species of ballet of action, established itself as a 
favourite class of entertainment.

and the second, or harlequinade, consisting 
almost wholly of the tricks of the clown and 
pantaloon and the dancing of harlequin and
