Strong motion accelerographs and data processing systems for the measurement of strong ground motion of damaging earthquakes are described with some comments on future developments. Some information is given on the earthquakes and instrumentation sites for which important records have been obtained. Studies of the areal distribution of ground motions during earthquakes are discussed in terms of transmission path effects. Some speculations are advanced concerning the establishment of limiting values of earthquake ground motions.
