70s game what was it called ??????

[tubewayarmy]

hi all
im new to this forum.
a mate of mine text me to see if i knew the name of a certain game from the 70s (i think),
all we know is, there was 2 long bits (sorry for the description) one end had a point (pointing downwords) the other part had a pencil....(to look at it looked like 2 arms) you would put one arm onto a picture and the other arm onto a clear piece of drewing paper,,,you would then go around the pic with one arm and the other arm would drew the pic....sorry about the decription lol
any help would be great as im going nuts trying to think of it lol
thanks guys
take care

I remember something similar to this that was more of an 'M' shape. You drew with one end and the picture was mirrorred by the pen at the other end. You could adjust it to make the new picture smaller or larger.

Been Googling but can't find the name of the thing!

oo oo oo I know, i know
hold on a mo

not really a game but it was a device for you to copy a picture say from a book
and it would enlarge it onto a piece of paper

Ok, its called a Tecnostyl Pantograph

have agoogle for that to see if thats the thing you meant ??
