In the open frame there are two cross-wires, one horizontal which move up
and down and the vertical one can move left-right/right-left. They are used
to coincide with the string. Then the string is released and the paper (or
canvas or wood plank etc) is turned back to the frame, and the point is
marked with a pencil. Repeat that until the image (made of points) is
accurate enough.
very,very long process... that's why they are 2 guys on the print, "Albrecht
Durer and Associated" ;-)
