Period
PROBABLY THE 1960S UP TO THE 1980S
Canada
THESE RECORDERS WERE 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 1].
Function
USED TO RECORD THE MOVEMENT OF THE MIRRORS OF 3 GALVANOMETERS CONNECTED TO SEISMOMETERS IN ORDER TO PLOT THE EARTH'S MOTIONS AS A PHOTOGRAPHIC RECORD.
Technical
PREVIOUS MODELS RECORDED THE MOTION OF THE SEISMOMETER PENDULUM DIRECTLY WITH PEN ON PAPER; THIS DEVICE RECORDED THE MOTION AS REFLECTED FROM MIRRORS OF GALVANOMETERS ON TO PHOTOGRAPHIC PAPER; MODERN ONES RECORD THE CURRENT VARIATIONS OF ELECTROMAGNETS FEEDING INTO A COMPUTER [REF 1].
