Abstract
The device records images in the form of dots on electrical discharge-sensitive paper. A plurality of styli are mounted on a rotor. The paper is fed past the rotor. The paper has a coating which is eroded away by sparks between the styli and the paper. This divisional patent is directed to the provision of a support structure which supports the device with the coated side of the paper down so that when it is recorded on any debris caused by the erosion will fall away from the paper under the force of gravity and will not accumulate near the styli.
