THE WRITING LEVER APPARATUS IS ADAPTED TO INDICATE AND RECORD VEHICLE SPEED AND DISTANCE TRAVELED. A CLOCKWORK DRIVE CONNECTED TO THE CASING IS USED FOR A RECORD STRIP ADVANCEMENT. A REMOVABLE HOUSING IS MOUNTED IN THE CASING COMPARTMENT AND COMPRISES A ROLLER CARTRIDGE MOUNTED TO THE HOUSING, THE ROLLER CARTRIDGE BEING ADAPTED TO HOLD A RECORD STRIP AND DEFINING AN OUTLET SLOT FOR THE RECORD STRIP END. A TRANSPORTING CYLINDER AND A WIND-UP SPOOL ARE ROTATABLY MOUNTED TO THE HOUSING IN SERIES CONNECTION, THE TRANSPORTING CYLINDER BEING IN ROTABLE COOPERATION WITH THE CLOCKWORK DRIVE AND THE WIND-UP SPOOL. A PULLING OUT APPARATUS FOR THE RECORD STRIP END IS IN COOPERATION WITH THE TRANSPORTING CYCLINDER AND IS ADAPTED TO AUTOMATICALLY PULL THE RECORD STRIP END FORWARD DURING INSERTION OF THE HOUSING INTO THE CASING. A CATCHING APPARATUS FOR THE RECORD STRIP END COOPERATES WITH THE WINDUP SPOOL AND IS AUTOMATICALLY ADAPTED TO CONNECT THE RECORD STRIP END WITH THE WIND-UP SPOOL AFTER A CERTAIN ADVANCE MOVEMENT OF THE RECORD STRIP.
