Abstract: A recording head for a multipoint recorder including a drum bearing a number of stylii regularly spaced around the drum periphery and rotatably mounted on an axle in a moving carriage sliding along a bearing bar mounted in the chassis of the recorder, means for rotational driving said drum means for temporarily displacing the drum in the direction of the strip chart and means for translational displacement of the carriage along the bearing bar with the means for rotational driving the stylii bearing drum has a Geneva cross rigidly connected to the drum and driven by a pin on a member wedged in a longitudinal nut in the bearing bar which is rotationally driven by a motor gear system mounted on the chassis of the device and that the means for causing the displacement of said recording head are formed by a cam rigidly connected to a gear wheel which meshes with a gear wheel of said pin bearing member whereby the cam is cooperating with an abutment of a housing supporting the stylii bearing drum and mounted on sa
