Karl politely didn't mention that for some unknown reason recorder tapes were often unavailable for review after an incident.

Just an odd coincidence that the Rdhse forces would forget to install new tapes

I must admit that I have NEVER seen a Boyer Speed Recorder. Anyone have drwngs.??

Speed tape was only occasionally pulled and checked in the "ol" days. Accidents or incidents were usually the reason for a tape review.

The C-P Recorders on O5's were driven off R4 driver. A wheel was held against the tread of the driver tire by spring tension and a flexible cable that extended into the cab was attached to the recorder.

They had a paper tape as did most later Diesel recorders and on a trip to the basement of the Aurora Depot in the late '60's there was a storage case of them there and I have on I think one from Big Alice somewhere in the storage area.
