The distance from the beginning of 1 to the beginning of 2 is the latency for the reflex, which is measured in thousandths of a second (the kymo- graph speed was 100 mm. per second). The amplitude is the vertical. Fig. 29.—A portion of a sample record for the evening measurements in room B. The curves above the cross, which is in the left of the figure

The amplitude is the vertical. Fig. 29.—A portion of a sample record for the evening measurements in room B. The curves above the cross, which is in the left of the figure, are from the patellar reflex and show a gradual shortening of the interval between stimuli until the reflex for the second stimulus ia absent. The wavy and more or less irregular lines in the lower portion of the figure are from the finger movements. The black dots were caused by the jump sparks and indicate the 2- second intervals. The horizontal broken lines in the lower section are the Please note that these images are extracted from scanned page images that may have been digitally enhanced for readability - coloration and appearance of these illustrations may not perfectly resemble the original Carnegie Institution of Washington.
