Zhang Heng And The World’s First Seismometer (3)
 An early seismic instrument referred to as the seismoscope made no time record of floor oscillations but simply indicated that shaking had occurred. A Chinese language scholar, Zhang Heng , invented such an instrument as early as 132 ce. It was cylindrical in form with eight dragon heads organized round its upper circumference, every with a ball in its mouth. Across the lower circumference had been eight frogs, every directly beneath a dragon head. When an earthquake occurred, balls were released from a dragon’s mouth, in all probability by an inner pendulum that moved back and forth in response to the route of vibration, and were caught by a frog’s mouth, which produced noise.

If the bottom does not transfer, the rod does not swing, and the pen stays in place, so the ink line is easy and straight. If the ground shakes, however, the row swings and so the pen attracts a zigzag line because the paper turns. The stronger the shaking, the sharper the zigzags. This zigzag image made on the paper roll is known as a seismogram.
