Not an astrolabe in English or French

[edit]

This instrument is not an astrolabe - it is a graphometer - at least in English or French.

Perhaps in German the two words are used synonymously, but if this image is used on an English, French or similar language article, it should be identified as a graphometer ( Fr. graphomètre ). --Michael Daly 21:48, 18 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]
