A recorder is disclosed for producing a continuous data record and comprises a case, a strip chart which is wound from a chart storage compartment onto a spring-driven take-up spool, and a speed-reducing governor comprising a gear train which is operatively connected to a hub and spoke assembly immersed in small spheres or balls, preferably of environmentally impervious material such as glass. The sphere-immersed paddle wheel approximates the drag of viscous fluid systems, with advantages which include independence of drag characteristics from temperature variation, simplicity, and easy speed adjustment, that is, the size of the spheres can be used to change the speed of the recorder.
