A transistorized automatic data recording system was developed to provide more reliable instrumentation for the cosmic-ray physicist. The system includes a counting rate integrator, a memory circuit, an electronic clock, and a serial-to-decimal converter. Besides reliability, small size, and low power consumption, the system can give both BCD and decimal output which are automatically punched on IBM cards.
