The Planimeter Vault

Last updated: 10 June 2008: David Green

Welcome

I collect planimeters.

I am interested in how they work, and how and why they were developed.

The purpose of this web site is to share what I know with fellow collectors.

The hope is that some of you will respond in kind, correct any mistakes and fill in some of the gaps.

You can contact me at Email address
