Abstract
In this article we present some results of a cognitive study on Mathematical Machines taken from the history of mathematics. In particular, we will propose a classification of the utilization schemes of pantographs for geometrical transformations. This classification, useful to describe the interaction between a subject and the machine, can be an efficient tool to analyse the exploration processes involved in the identification of the transformation and of the mathematical law incorporated in the machine
