A new device for recording the flow-volume loop by direct means of pen-writing is presented. Its clinical usefulness was established by the loops recorded in 38 healthy men and 52 patients with airway obstruction. From a careful analysis of the curves flow at 25 percent VC as well as its ratio to flow at 50 percent VC was found to be sensitive for detection of airway obstruction to a milder degree.
