Data recording system

Abstract

A system for recording data is disclosed, which relate to lots to be collected, particularly to milk lots to be delivered to a central collecting station. A recorder installed on the collecting vehicle comprises the normally existing data memory and closely adjacent thereto a second memory, which has preferably the same structure and serves to store those data which are required in an analytical laboratory for an analysis of samples taken from the lots as they were collected. These data are recorded in the second memory under the control of a selector. By means of the second memory, a separate data carrier is provided, which is delivered to the analytical laboratory, in which data representing the result of the various analyses are recorded on said data carrier so as to supplement the data originally recorded thereon. In this way the data can be fully automatically collected and processed, uniform technology can be used in the system required for this purpose and, as a result, the equipment used on the collecting vehicle and in the analytical laboratory can be simplified and the overall functional reliability can be improved.
