A pantograph is a mechanical precision instrument for transferring drawings or sculptures to another scale. The sculptor Arno Breker (1900-1991), protégé of Adolf Hitler, used this instrument to transfer his figurative clay or plaster models to a monumental scale.
In his former state studio in Käuzchensteig in Berlin there is a 3 x 6 m studio window. Added to this window is a replica that reverses the characteristics of the original.
