Summary:

A description of a special type of seismograph, called a "landing-shock recorder," to be used for measuring the acceleration during impact sucah as are experienced in airplane landings, is given. The theory, together with the assumptions made, is discussed in its relation to calculating the acceleration experienced in impact. Calculations are given from records obtained for two impacts of known acceleration. In one case the impact was very severe and in the other it was only moderately severe.
