Kymograph for running (so-called "endless") paper.

(Kymographion für fortlaufendes (sogen. endloses) papier.)
Description: This is apparently a less expensive model which retains many features of the more expensive models. It has a wind-vane speed regulator, instead of the more complex Foucault- style; it has a self-contained gear system for moving the recording brushes up the paper to provide extended recording; it has a weight motor, instead of a spring motor; and it is shown with two recording brushes. The image, however, shows that this is not a Zimmermann device, since name of the firm F. Wagener, Berlin can be seen at the upper right edge of the table on which the device stands.
