Dotted Line Pen
Tool for drawing lines
Technical tool for drawing dashed lines.
With a nib you can draw lines with greater speed and precision. The three interchangeable wheels determine the type of hatching you want to give to the line: broad, dotted and dense.
It is held in the free upper part and slid against a ruler/set square which transmits rotation to the toothed wheel in the lower part.
The steel support for the nib hinged at one point is able to transmit the oscillations given by the toothed wheels. The wheels are differentiated to transmit oscillations capable of making the nib jump and therefore leave a line of ink in dashes, hyphens and dot-dot.
