1879 - How it works


Air is pumped by means of a footpump and charges a specially designed container	By squeezing the handle air enters the instrument under pressure

1 Pressured air leaves one pipe.. 2 ..and spins the windwheel which has the needle fixed off centre 3 ..as a result the needle moves back into the spoon and collects some yellow ink	4 Then the needle returns, passing through the ink and collecting some colour at the tip 5 The air which is also blowing out of the second pipe blows a little colour off each time the needle passes in front of it.
