Object Details

Coradi, Gottlieb
Description
This illustrated pamphlet describes the operation of the coordinatograph, an instrument for plotting graphical coordinates (e.g. x- and y-coordinates) mechanically. Coradi first sold a form of the instrument in 1887. The pamphlet, published in 1910, lists 55 purchasers by that time, most of them surveying departments. For further documentation on the coordinatograph, see 1977.0112.04 and 1977.0112.05.
The documentation was received with a Coradi rolling sphere planimeter with number 1977.0112.01
