You are correct Ralph. Although there were sonars before 1974, that is when we got the first recording sonar. Specifically a Lowrance X-15 paper graph. We still have that machine, it still works like a top and what's nice about the paper graphs is that you have a "hard copy" record that you can take home an ponder after your trip is over. These last few years I have seen a resurgence of the paper graph sonars in use on Bear Lake.
