It consists of a stomach-tube to one end of which a rubber-balloon is fixed and to the other end a pump for in Hating the balloon in the pump and stomach-tube are connected with a piece of V-glass tubing. Thestomach-contractions are transmitted to a tambour, the lever of which makes therecord ofi a revolving cvlinder. The stomach faithfully records the dots and dashesfrom an ordinary transmitter operated at a distance of 40feet from the subject (Fig 40).
