THE METHOD OF RECORDING SEISMIC WELL LOGS WHILE MOVING A SEISMIC IMPULSE TRANSMITTER AND A RECEIVER OF SEISMIC WAVES THROUGH A WELL AT SUBSTANTIALLY CONSTANT SPEED WHILE MAINTAINING SAID TRANSMITTER AND RECEIVER A SMALL FIXED DISTANCE APART AND REPEATEDLY CAUSING SAID TRANSMITTER TO EMIT IMPULSES AND SAID RECEIVER TO DETECT THE RESULTANT SEISMIC WAVES IMPINGING THEREON, WHICH RECORDING METHOD COMPRISES MOVING A RECORD-RECEIVING STRIP LENGTHWISE IN PROPORTION TO THE SPEED OF MOVING SAID TRANSMITTER AND RECEIVER THROUGH SAID WELL, INITIATING A MARK AT A BASE LINE PARALLEL TO THE EDGE OF SAID STRIP SUBSTANTIALLY SYNCHRONOUSLY WITH THE EMISSION OF EACH IMPULSE BY SAID TRANSMITTER, EXTENDING SAID MARK CONTINUOUSLY AND LINEARLY WITH TIME ACROSS SAID STRIP IN THE DIRECTION OF ITS WIDTH DURING THE TIME INTERVAL WHILE THE SEISMIC WAVES RESULTING FROM SAID IMPULSE ARE TRAVELING TO AND ARE BEING RECEIVED BY SAID RECEIVER, AND VARYING THE DENSITY OF SAID MARK IN
