This attachment can be fastened to the base of a Harvard Apparatus Company's kymographion by means of a single thumb screw, as shown atAin the illustration. The device is "set" by pulling out the plunger by means of the ringB.

The writing-points of all muscle levers, tuning-fork. etc., remain constantly on the even surface of the drum paper. The plunger can be at once "set" and the drum spun again as many times as desired, thus allowing superimposed curves to be taken on the same base line. A set-screwDcan be adjusted to regulate the speed at which the drum spins. A special clampEfastened to the lower part of the drum permits it to be
