Recording drum from seismograph, marked no. 2, designed by Omori Fusakichi for the Earthquake Investigation Committee, Tokyo, Japan, 1898. It combines a horizontal pendulum mechanism with an auxiliary inverted pendulum, and employs a smoked-paper recording system. The instrument was constructed in Japan, and in 1910 displayed at the Japan-British Exhibition, White City, London. Afterwards it was transferred to Eskdalemuir Observatory, Dumfriesshire, Scotland and operated intermittently until 1925, when the observatory’s seismological programme, administered by the Meteorological Office, was transferred to Kew.
