AS1 seismograph operating in a classroom at Garfield Elementary School
in Brighton, MA. (Top Right) The magnitude 7.6 earthquake in Pakistan
that occurred on October 8, 2005 recorded by an AS1 seismograph
operating at the "Living Lab" (a science program for K-5 students
operated by the Westford, MA Public Schools). (Bottom) The magnitude
6.7 earthquake that occurred in Chile on April 30, 2006 recorded by an
