A sentence with seismograph in it?

Why wouldn't a seismograph work if the pen vibrated with the machine?
because if the pen vibrated then the seismograph wouldn't work and it would defeat the purpose. the machine only works if the pen is still. if the pen is still the machine will guide it by the heartbeat lines the pen creates.
