Abstract
Abstract Data recording apparatus wherein the data is recorded on a sheet in a spatial arrangement or pattern corresponding to the spatial arrangement of a plurality of containers that constitute a part of a fraction collecting apparatus. The fraction collector operates by moving a nozzle carrying the discharge from a fractionating column along a path on which the containers are disposed. There is a data recording sheet and a pen supported for inscribing a graph on such sheet. The pen moves in unison with the nozzle and is displaced in a direction transverse to the path so that the spatial arrangement of the graph corresponds to the spatial arrangement of the containers.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 2
Claim 1
Independent Claim
203 words
Improved data recording apparatus for recording data the magnitude of which varies with time comprising a circular carrier having a central axis, means for supporting said carrier for rotation on said axis, inscribing means and carriage means for mounting said inscribing means above said carrier, means for moving said carriage means radially of said central axis in response to rotation of said carrier so as to cause said inscribing means to traverse a spiral path relative said carrier, drive means carried on said carriage means for rotatively driving said carrier, said drive means including a wheel driven at a preselected speed about a generally radially extending axis, said wheel having a periphery in driving contact with said carrier at a point in alignment with said inscribing means so that in response to rotation of said wheel and activation of said moving means said inscribing means travels on a spiral path on said carrier which spiral path has a linear time base, and means for activating said inscribing means to inscribe data indicia adjacent said path that is indicative of the magnitude of variations in the data so as to afford a quantitative indication of said data with reference to the linear time base.
