Extending Pantograph Mirror

Pantographs serve many purposes other than mirror extensions. One of the first uses was as an instrument to help reduce or enlarge drawings by tracing. You may have seen a pantograph attached to a 1930's telephone to extend it; or a pet-gate made like a pantograph. Here the pantograph is adapted to serve as a mirror-extension arm. And it works quite well - extending the mirror all the way out to 13.25" and folding back to a fraction of that distance - 3.5". High quality parts and careful machining ensure that there's no sagging and no "sticking" as you operate the mirror. Matches Curzon hardware by Samuel Heath. The 3x Magnification Mirror reverses to 1x (regular view). The mirror at the end of the pantograph arm tilts and reverses by "flipping" over or by rotating. 6.5" diameter mirror.
