Abstract
Abstract A record carrier is moved in a first direction and a recording electrode records on the advancing carrier information which represents measurements taken. A scribing head is located laterally spaced from the recording electrode and is movable in the direction of advancement of the carrier, being operable for producing on the advancing area indicia providing information of supplementary character. A method of recording this information is also disclosed.
