[Also in Division E2] A ticket controlled barrier comprises magnetic reading heads (5, 6, 7, 8, Fig. 2, not shown) which produce binary signals representative of data, such as station, fare and destination, on the ticket, and comparison matrices (48, 50, 52) which compare the read data with preset data to produce output signals for control of the barrier. The reading heads (5, 6, 7, 8) are disposed in pairs of which only one functions at any instant, dependent on the orientation of the ticket. A date printed across one end of the ticket is detected by a group of photo-cells (9, 10, 11, 12) for checking and also by two further photo-cells (13, 14) to determine the orientation of the ticket. The data, recorded on one ticket edge, is read simultaneously with timing marks on the opposite edge which are counted by one of two counters (32, 33) depending on the orientation of the ticket, the counters successively opening gates (36 or 40) for passing information to buffer stores (44, 45, 46) for comparison with the preset information in matrices (48, 50, 52). Output signals from the matrices indicate if the ticket should be retained or returned to the passenger and also release the barrier. Reading of several valid tickets sets a passenger store (57) to permit passage of that number of passengers past the barrier, each passenger sending one reset signal to the passenger store.
