The lowermost line 40b of the lower band 40 coincides with the zero position of the pen 29, which thereby creates a Represents zero line on the lower band 40 and thus indicates that the vehicle is at rest. Of the Distance between the spring 50 and the spring 29 corresponds to this Distance between the lower line 40b of the upper belt 40 and the lower line 40b of the lower belt 40, so that the lower line 40b of the upper band coincides with the zero position of the spring 30 when the vehicle is at rest is located. The lines 40b of the two belts 40 are spaced apart from one another which corresponds to the ratio of speed / rack displacement corresponds, so that the lines 40b represent a speed diagram for the vehicle.

The lines 40c of the upper and lower band 40 are acted upon by writing nibs 41 and 42, each of which is flexible Arms 4 $ and 44 are provided, these arms on a Sliding element 45 acted upon by a magnet device 46 are set. In the rest position of the magnetic device 46, the nibs 41 and 41 are on their respective ones Line 40c. However, as soon as the magnetic device 46 is energized, the nibs 41 and 42 plot a curve and sweep only return to its starting position, the lines 40c, when the magnetic device 46 has been replaced by a never-shown Distance meter of the vehicle emitted signal again is excited.

A spring 47 is provided on an arm 48, which in turn on a spindle rotatably mounted in the front wall 15 40 is set, this one at its outer end

• Has a manually adjustable switch 50. So can through manual operation of the switch 50, the spring 47 optionally the first, second, or third line 40d of the upper belt 40 can be set. In the same way, a pen 51 is provided on an arm 52, which is on one in the front wall 15 rotatably mounted spindle 53 is set. At the outer end of this spindle 53 is a manually operated one Switch 54 is provided, which is optionally on the first, second or third line 40d of the lower band 40 can be set.

The bands 40 are further provided with vertically extending, equidistant lines, which Represent time segments when these relate to the output speed of the clockwork drive through the coil 38.

The mode of operation of the device described so far is as follows:

As soon as a driver enters the vehicle to be driven by him, he places his personal cassette 35 in the one described above Point into the upper part 17, namely in the lowest position. At this point the pen 29 draws a line from the edge of the ribbon 40 to the Hull line 40b of the tape. The clockwork 33 acts on the shaft 24 and the flange 24a and comes into frictional engagement with the plate 58a and thus provides a force for unwinding the tape 40. However, this is due to the direct engagement of the toothed wheel 39 with the belt 40 at a steady linear speed transported further, so that the pen 29 in the rest

position of the vehicle a line along the zero line 40b of the speed diagram.

During the movement phase of the vehicle, the rack 26 is shifted vertically depending on the speed of the train, so that the spring 29 records an accurate speed curve of all vehicle movements over time, which the corresponds to the amount of tape transported by the toothed wheel 39. The pen 42 rests on a distance line 40c of the Band 40, and the magnetic device 46 is excited and de-excited at fixed distances of the vehicle, so that the pen 42 is lowered and returned to draw an approximately vertical line each time the Vehicle has traveled a specified distance. So is on the tape 40 over the pen 42 continuously the entire Distance traveled by the vehicle plotted.

As long as the driver's cassette is in the housing 11, operated by hand, the switch 54 to the pen 51 and so his hours of service on the lines 4Od of the tape 40 to be applied. So the upper line 40d is marked with "DRIVER", and the driver is pen 51 on this line as long as he drives the vehicle controls effectively. When the driver breaks, the spring 51 is placed on the lowermost line 40d, while the spring is set to the middle line 40d when he neither effectively controls the vehicle nor takes breaks.
