The inclined portions of the cam effect the lateral movements of the mechanism carrying the feedrollers and foundation ribbon, while the plain portions allow this mechanism to remain stationary, so that the ribbon may be perforated and the teeth inserted therein. The feed-mechanism makes one complete transverse movement during half a revolution of the cam r, the return movement being effected during the remaining half-revolution. At each half-revolution of the cam, the foundation ribbon is moved forwards to the desired extent by ratchet mechanism operated by a cam on the shaft a<1>.

Abstract: 9347. Remington, C. H. May 6. Indicating condition of bridges, tunnels, &c.-A signal is arranged in connection with a bridge, culvert, or the like to give warning of accident to the bridge &c. either by fire or by the washing away of the supports. A wire G, Fig. 2, is arranged beneath the crossties supporting the rails, and is connected to wires or rods I leading to the signals N. A rail or rails h, supported by the crossties, falls upon the wire G and depresses the same, and thereby operates the signal in the event of the burning &c. of the bridge. In the case of a trestle bridge, the wire is held between wooden strips, which fall and operate the signal in the event of an accident. A device may be arranged for breaking the wire G, and so preventing damage to the wires I. A wire L is attached to a pile K and to the wire I for the purpose of operating the signal in the event of a caving in of the earth. The wire I is attached to one arm of a spring-controlled lever or catch which controls the signal. In the form of signal shown in Fig.. 5, the catch W engages a depending rod attached to a plate P, which carries a signal R consisting of a body portion, painted red, and balls s carried by pivoted arms controlled by springs, so that, upon the release of the catch, the signal is raised out of the casing by means of the weights T, and the balls s fly outwards. The signal may be raised by means of a spring in place of the weights. The casing may be closed by a cap plate attached to the signal R, or doors may be employed, these doors being provided with spring hinges and secured by a spring latch or bolt v, which is unfastened by the pressure of the signal when rising. The shaft V of the catch W may be extended and provided with bevel gearing for actuating a lamp or semaphore signal, and indicating danger when the signal above described is operated.
