Lesson 42-4 Recording an earthquake
But as the papermoved from side to side under the pen point, its movement would be recorded inink upon its surface. It was upon this principle that the first instrumentswere made, but the paper was wrapped round a drum which rotated slowly. As longas all was still, the pen drew a straight line, but while the drum was beingshaken, the line that the pen was drawing wriggled from side to side. Theapparatus thus described, however, records only the horizontal component of thewave movement, which is, in fact, much more complicated. If we could actuallysee the path described by a particle, such as a sand grain in the rock, it wouldbe more like that of a bluebottle buzzing round the room;
