Abstract: A movable array composed of Ranger type seismometers, 60-day film recorders and 7-day magnetic tape recorders housed in compact trailers, has been developed. The array is useful for research requiring frequent instrument relocation such as P-delay, micro-seismicity, aftershock and signal-to-noise ratio studies.
The array unit combines the functions found in conventional fixed stations with a high degree of mobility. Conveniences such as solid state amplifiers, radio and clock circuitry, internal calibration, and minimum installation time are special features.
With the battery supply provided, a one week period of unattended film and tape recording is possible. With commercial power, the instruments can operate unattended for up to sixty days.
Useful magnification up to several million is available, depending on the frequency band selected.

Triggering of microearthquakes by earth tides, and other features of the Truckee, California, earthquake sequence of September, 1966
TL;DR: In this paper, aftershocks were tape-recorded on a small, tripartite seismic array, and focal depths ranged from 0.8 to 10.3 km, and there was a gradual migration of after-shocks from the vicinity of the main shock at the deeper, northeast end of the zone, to the shallower, southwest end.

A micro-earthquake survey of the San Andreas fault system in southern California
James N. Brune,Clarence R. Allen +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, micro-earthquakes were systematically recorded with magnitudes down to -1.3 at more than 60 sites along the San Andreas fault system in southern California during intervals of 2 days to 1 year, representing more than 35,000 hours of usable records.
Distant motions from a building vibration test
TL;DR: In this article, the authors show that multistory buildings are particularly well-suited for inducing large dynamic forces in the ground with relatively small equipment, and that the magnitude of the acceleration varied from 2.04 × 10-^(2)g at the excitation level on the ninth floor of the building to 3.2 × 10−7g at Mt. Wilson, 6.7 miles from the Library and 4,800 ft higher in elevation.
Aftershocks and source characteristics of the 1969 Coyote Mountain earthquake, San Jacinto Fault zone, California
TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigated the aftershocks of the M L = 6.4 Borrego Mountain event of a year earlier and found that the unusual characteristics of this sequence may have been the result of a de-stressing of the upper 10 km of this section of the San Jacinto Fault zone by two earlier events greater than magnitude 6 and a concentration of stresses below that depth.

An earthquake sequence and focal mechanism solution, Lake Hopatcong, Northern New Jersey
TL;DR: In this article, an investigation of unusual minor seismic activity at Lake Hopatcong, New Jersey, over a 4-month period in 1969, yielded information that is unique in the study of the seismicity of the eastern United States.
