ABSTRACT:
An automatic recording instrument has an array of store-pen-holders. To each store-pen-holder, a recording pen is assigned and is held when the pen is not in use. A moving pen-holder with a recording-pen, is computer-controlled to draw a desired trace on a recording-paper by the pen. In order to transfer a recording-pen from a store-pen-holder to the moving pen-holder, the latter comes to the position of the store-pen-holder from a first direction in which the moving pen-holder has an opening to admit the path of the recording-pen, holds the recording-pen by a magnetic clutch, and then recedes in a second direction in which the store-pen-holder has an opening to admit the path of the recording-pen. After the assigned pen is taken by the moving pen-holder, the store-pen-holder remains empty. In order to return the pen to this empty store-pen-holder, the moving pen-holder comes to the store-pen-holder from the second direction, releases the pen to the store-pen-holder, and recedes in the first direction.
