ABSTRACT:
A suspended-line-and-clock trail monitor improved (1) by anchoring the monitor-end of the trip-line in such a manner that when a crossing animal increases line tension beyond a predetermined threshold, stored line pays out to and is carried by the animal, thereby recording its precise path and direction of travel across a line of almost any length and (2) by introducing a resettable, lightly triggered actuator between the line and the clock thereby providing reliable operation from a mass-produced, low-cost, general-purpose digital clock in place of the usual stop watch, even with a line of light sewing thread. Such thread cost effectively combines sufficient line length for long runs with good portability.
