In 1911, Arthur William Clayden M.A. (Fellow of the Royal Meteorological Society and Principal of the Royal Albert Memorial University College of Exeter) developed a version of an actinograph for meteorologists, to observe and record the change of radiation.

The earliest actinographs were 24-hour recording devices, using a rotating cylinder of photographic paper exposed through a wedged-shaped slit to record a graph of actinic light during the period of a day; hence the
