Didn’t Jefferson invent the duplo-pen on a strut to simultaneously write what he was writing? I can’t think it would work all that well. He could have employed a stenographer, except he was always in debt up to his topknot.

It's called a pantograph. In Jefferson's time it was called a Polygraph.
It was invented by an Englishman, John Hawkins. But Jefferson used it and adapted it to suit his needs.
