A pantograph is a mechanical linkage connected in a manner based on parallelograms so that the movement of one pen, in tracing an image, produces identical movements in a second pen. If a line drawing is traced by the first point, an identical, enlarged, or miniaturized copy will be drawn by a pen fixed to the other. Using the same principle, different kinds of pantographs are used for other forms of duplication in areas such as sculpture, minting and milling; because of the shape of the original device, a pantograph refers to a kind of structure that can compress or extend like an accordion, forming a characteristic rhomboidal pattern. This can be found in extension arms for wall-mounted mirrors, temporary fences, scissor lifts, other scissor mechanisms such as the pantograph used on electric locomotives and trams; the ancient Greek engineer Hero of Alexandria in his work Mechanics, described pantographs. In 1603, Christoph Scheiner used a pantograph to copy and scale diagrams, wrote about the invention over 27 years in "Pantographice".

One arm of the pantograph contained a small pointer, while the other held a drawing implement, by moving the pointer over a diagram, a copy of the diagram was drawn on another piece of paper. By changing the positions of the arms in the linkage between the pointer arm and drawing arm, the scale of the image produced can be changed. In 1821, Professor William Wallace invented the eidograph to improve upon the practical utility of the pantograph; the eidograph relocates the fixed point to the center of the parallelogram and uses a narrow parallelogram to provide improved mechanical advantages. The original use of the pantograph was for scaling line drawings. Modern versions are sold as toys. Sculptors use a three-dimensional version of the pantograph a large boom connected to a fixed point at one end, bearing two rotating pointing needles at arbitrary points along this boom. By adjusting the needles different enlargement or reduction ratios can be achieved; this device, now overtaken by computer guided router systems that scan a model and can produce it in a variety of materials and in any desired size, was invented by inventor and steam pioneer James Watt and perfected by Benjamin Cheverton in 1836.

Cheverton's machine was fitted with a rotating cutting bit to carve reduced versions of well-known sculptures. A three-dimensional pantograph can be used to enlarge sculpture by interchanging the position of the model and the copy. Another version is still much in use to reduce the size of large relief designs for coins down to the required size of the coin. One advantage of phonograph and gramophone discs over cylinders in the 1890s—before electronic amplification was available—was that large numbers of discs could be stamped and cheaply. In 1890, the only ways of manufacturing copies of a master cylinder were to mold the cylinders, to record cylinders by the "round", over and over again, or to acoustically copy the sound by placing the horns of two phonographs together or to hook the two together with a rubber tube. Edison, Leon Douglass and others solved this problem by mechanically linking a cutting stylus and a playback stylus together and copying the "hill-and-dale" grooves of the cylinder mechanically.

When molding improved somewhat, molded cylinders were used as pantograph masters. This was employed by Edison and Columbia in 1898, was used until about January 1902; some companies like the United States Phonograph Co. of Newark, New Jersey, supplied cylinder masters for smaller companies so that they could duplicate them, sometimes pantographically. Pantographs could produce up to about 150 records per master. In theory, pantograph masters could be used for 200 or 300 duplicates if the master and the duplicate were running in reverse and the record would be duplicated in reverse. This, in theory, could extend the usability of a pantograph master by using the unworn/lesser worn part of the recording for duplication. Pathé employed this system with mastering their vertically-cut records until 1923; this was done as the resulting cylinder was loud and of high fidelity. The cylinder would be placed on the mandrel of a duplicating pantograph that would be played with a stylus on the end of a lever, which would transfer the sound to a wax disc master, which would be electroplated and be used to stamp copies out.

This system resulted in some fidelity reduction and rumble, but high quality sound. Edison Diamond Disc Records were made by recording directly onto the wax master disc. Before the advent of control technologies such as numerical control and programmable logic control, duplicate parts being milled on a milling machine could not have their contours mapped out by moving the milling cutter in a "connect-the-dots" fashion; the only ways to control the movement of the cutting tool were to dial the positions by hand using dexterous skill or to trace a cam, template, or model in some way, have the cutter mimic the movement of the tracing stylus. If the milling head was mounted on a pantograph, a duplicate part could be cut by tracing a template. (The template itself was made by a tool
