There is a large lot of Teledyne Geotech Helicorders just listed on Ebay
today.  Problem is, it is a very large "lot auction"  that would entail
shipping cost for hundreds of pounds of equipment.

		I have seen something similar somewhere on the web, but I
can't find it.   This is all I could find.   If someone has tried this
please email me.   Thanks, Ted

	Hi Ted,
	
	       The Wood-Anderson was a horizontal system with a torsion
suspension, magnetic damping, optical + photographic recording and a period
of about a second. There is no reason why you could not fit a dual Si
photocell readout system. 
	
	       To increase the period you can reduce the wire diameter /
increase the wire length / mount the mass on an extended side boom to
increase the inertia.

	       Randall Peters has a vertical torsion device on this website.
