A motor-driven EKG strip continuously winds and unwinds as it passes behind a lighted magnifying lens. The viewer can follow the heartbeat as it moves to a flat line and back again. A motor drives bicycle chains that rotate a series of sprockets. A cam-like system stretches and releases latex tubes. Their motion is transmitted to adjacent tubes and they all begin to jiggle. The motorized component jerks, groans, and clanks loudly.
