Arrangement for the automatic and correct positioning with respect to time of a record chart bundle serving to record in segments in a continuous manner

An arrangement for automatic and correct positioning with respect to time of a record chart bundle which is recorded on in segments but in a continuous manner relative to recording members of a recording device comprising:

• recording gear means for driving the record chart bundle synchronously with respect to time, said gear means having a drive connection with individual record charts of the record chart bundle which is gradually interrupted, the individual record charts each having a sector-shaped cut-out portion and being arranged so as to be staggered relative to one another;
• a centering pin provided so as to receive and rotatably support the record chart bundle in a centering position, said pin being raisable and lowerable vertically relative to a recording base of the record chart bundle;
• positioning drive means independent of the recording gear means for driving the record chart bundle at a rate of rotation greater than a recording speed, said positioning drive means including a sensor provided so as to synchronously rotate with the record chart bundle with respect to time, said sensor being controllable so that after passing through a recording angle of a record chart it executes a movement around a residual angle at 360.degree. in the direction of recording movement of the record chart bundle;
• and driving means for coupling the record chart bundle with a recording drive of the recording device when the bundle is located in a certain position determined by the sensor.
