Canada
THIS DEVICE WAS PART OF A SEISMOGRAPH STATION WHICH WAS ONE OF ABOUT 2 DOZEN THAT WERE INSTALLED ACROSS CANADA IN THE GSC'S NETWORK TO MONITOR ACTIVITY OF THE EARTH'S CRUST TO DETERMINE THE LOCATION OF EARTHQUAKES. THIS INFORMATION WAS USED BY RESEARCHERS STUDYING DYNAMICS OF THE EARTH'S CRUST & PLATE DYNAMICS [REF 3]
Function
INSTRUMENT FOR MEASURING MOTIONS OF THE GROUND THAT RESULT FROM NATURAL DISTURBANCES SUCH AS EARTH QUAKES AND EXPLOSIONS [REF 2]
Technical
SEISMOGRAPHS HAVE UTILIZED PENDULUMS AS THE MOTION SENSING DEVICE FOR 1 1/2 C. THIS ONE USES SENSITIVE ELECTROMAGNETS TO DETECT PENDULUM MOTION WHICH IN TURN RECORDED MOTION OF A MIRROR IN A GALVANOMETER ON PHOTOGRAPHIC PAPER. MODERN ONES RECORD THE CURRENT VARIATIONS IN THE ELECTROMAGNETS FEEDING INTO A COMPUTE [REF 3]
