A Reducing Machine was a type of pantograph lathe used until the 21st century to manufacture coin dies. Prior to the machine's introduction, designs were cut by hand into metal dies by a specialist engraver. The reducing machine changed this by allowing artists to create designs on a larger surface area and then have them scaled down and cut into a die automatically. The most successful version of the machine, created by Victor Janvier, was used by mints all around the world including the US Mint who operated one as late as 2008 when it was replaced by CNC milling machines.

dbo:abstract
  • Un tour à portrait est un mécanisme ou une machine-outil utilisée par un médailleur afin de reproduire des profils (en général) sur les coins servant à la frappe de la médaille ou de la pièce. Le tour à portrait fonctionne comme un pantographe en trois dimensions, suivant les creux et les bosses d'un modèle, pour les graver sur le coin. Ce dispositif, datant du début du XVIIIe siècle est dérivé du utilisé par les orfèvres et les horlogers. (fr)
