SKETCH-A-GRAPH
The
Sketch-A-Graph had two expandable arms on a trellis-like
arrangement; One arm held a pen and the other a plastic pointer.
You moved the pointer and traced out a drawing, and the pencil
moved likewise.

You could magnify or reduce the resulting drawing by changing
where on the concertina-like trellis you connected the arms and
pointer.
I had one of these and it was impossible to use due to the
Flimsy 70's plastic design which meant the trellis often fell to
pieces and had to be held together with yards of Sellotape, and
the fact that the suction cup thingy would never attach itself to
the table properly, needing nine inch nails to hold the thing onto
your mothers favourite antique dining table!
K-Tel sold an identical item as the "E-Z Tracer".
