Richter used Esterline Angus recorders to measure the "hands" of his rat's clock. The following photographs demonstrate the continuous activity pen recorder; cutting the recordings into individual strips for individual activity cages; pasting the strips onto a large square of cardboard in lines showing the day's activity for a given rat (using waxpaper and a hot iron); recording of the other hands of the wheel, such as water intake, food intake, weight, and vaginal cells; and transferring these numbers to the record book and to the chart for each rat that was kept throughout its life.(1)
