Fig. 6 — Mechanigraph rrproduction of the Dandy Man Bicycle, the forerunner of the modern bicycle, which appears in motion in "The Porcelain Lamp." tions not only in actual use but in their proper early nineteenth century landscape setting. And so in the same series, the quaint Dutch wind wagon (Fig. 8) fitted with sails was shown being driven before the w^ind on the sands of the sea shore, while the first motorcycle (Fig. 9) chugged through the street of a foreign village in the garb of 1880. Thus are combined in the mechanigraph the talents of the scenic artist and the engineer. Mechanisms far less mechanical are equally well adapted to treatment by mechanigraph. The human body, its parts and the performance of its various functions are as easy to present as machines made of steel and iron. The mechanigraph is destined to become a most valuable aid in Fig 7 — Mechanigraph of the Unicycle, one of the early forerunners of the bicycle. 62
