I figured out a way to make authentic guilloche patterns in Illustrator - but they broke my method when they made pattern making ‘easier’
Maybe time to look into it again.

If you like these sorts of things, the Geometrigraph is a 19th century type which I have, but have never figured out how to use.

Also, I want to know if that second device of his was ever commercialized.
