Measuring large areas

Notes: "Two features distinguish this planimeter: the wheels, which let it traverse large areas being measured, and the disc, which provides a surface with consistent friction for the measuring well. The disc is connected to the wheels, and is ""geared up"" to provide higher precision. This planimeter was sold through A. Lietz of San Francisco, and used by the US government, probably the Corp. of Engineers."
