A Geometric Horner Method for curve tracing

For a polynomial expression y=f(x) find by a simple geometric mechanism the value of y for a given x, and have the mechanism trace out the curve represented by y=f(x). The model was developed by H. von Sanden (1923) and is a geometric interpretation of Horner's earlier arithmetic scheme.
