I want to buy a "strip chart recorder". I thougrht this was a very well-known
device, but I just got back from my local electronics store (Fry's) and the
staff there didn't even know what one was. So maybe I need to remind you that
a strip chart recorder is a box that has an analog input, a roll of paper, a
clock motor to drive the paper, and a pen. The pen wiggles up and down
according to the signal applied to the analog input.

Does anybody have any suggestions for stores in Northern California or else
mail order places that might sell me such a device?
