Abstract
Abstract A chromatic data display system for recording signals from any source on color paper, and particularly for recording varying pulse rate information on color paper that is representative of the distribution of radioactive material in, for example, a part of a human body, which pulse rate information is in response to rectilinear scanning of that part of the human body or from the rescan of an image from a black and white photoscan on X-ray or other film, and which image represents pulse rate information obtained from prior rectilinear scannings.

Claim 1
Independent Claim
223 words
Apparatus for providing recorded chromatic data displays of varying signal information on color film comPrising, a multi-color light source means for selectively projecting light beams of individual colors on the color film, means for moving said light source means in a given pattern over the color film, means responsive to the varying signal information for energizing said color light source to project individual colored light beams for given ranges of the varying signal information, said multi-color light source means comprising a light head with a plurality of individual lamps arranged therein in a circle at one end thereof, light collimating means for directing the light beam from each of said lamps to a given point at the other end of said head, a light tight container for holding the color film, said container having a flat wall with non-magnetic bearing surfaces on the upper and lower surfaces of said wall, said one end of said head having magnetic material at said one end, said one end being slidable on the one of said bearing surfaces adjacent the color film, a second head with magnetic material connected to said moving means and slidable on the other of said bearing surfaces, and whereby said first and second heads become magnetically attracted and movement of said second head causes a corresponding movement of said first head.
