The things with adjustable ink-ruling pens with a 'bill' nibs - twiddle the wheel and the gap changes to let out more/less ink as you dip it into the inkwell and then try to draw a consistent width line on a sheet of 'animal skin'

IF you were flush you got the pair of compasses with ruling-pen nib so you could [try] to draw inked circles...

[attachment=0:36e57kb5]<!-- ia0 -->bead-of-ink.jpg<!-- ia0 -->[/attachment:36e57kb5]I got one of them things. Used it in my first year of modelmaking to paint window frames on an architectural building. Never used them before - but found some in the old storage of the office I work at now. They initially caused a bit of a mystery.

This is the 'actual image' [even that is a few years old, as more recent images are no suitable for publication!]
What do you look like ?

My portrait by a very cool guy!
(had with him some very funny threads on the ZBC forum in the past) 
I believe a compatriot to you (same island)

I have a few ruling pens. Cantankerous things. Now that we have Photoshop and Render engines. .. they have gone the way of the AirBrush, The Speedball nib and the and the french Curve. Funny. .. drafting stores still charge for them like they were still in demand.
But we digress. . .
-
its one of those curvy drawing thingys as shown in the above post. We call them French Curves. . .they come from the same place as French Toast & French Fries - -- America!

-
I know what is it , but want to know why this is named like that
Maybe something like "System D" ? (don't know if that exist on the new world?)
-
We digress too far ............
PS: Pilou are you the rider or the camel ? -
Sometime I am no sure
-
It's a 'French-curve' probably because you invented it... with the 'letter', 'kiss' and so on ?
-
Maybe, I must make some investigations, if i found something pertinent about that, i will put it here
In French these tools are named "Pistol" or "Parrot" (pistolet, perroquet)
