Abstract: 21,950. Dotesio, W. C., and Powell, G. H. Oct. 4. Codes.-A telegraphic code appliance for translating a series of numerals or letters into a pronounceable code-word consists of a board or other surface a having a number of columns g, each of which carries the series of numbers 0 0, 0 1, &c., to 9 9 ; alongside each two numerals are three code letters. Above the columns g, in a depression in the board a, there slides a piece c on which are a number of columns f equally spaced to the columns g, the first column starting with the numerals 0 0, 0 1, &c., and the last column ending with 9 9 ; alongside each pair of numerals are two code letters. An opening e in the slide c exposes one of a series of numbers b on the board a. To codify a number, the slide is moved till the first digit of the number is exposed through the opening e ; the next two digits are sought in columns f and the code letters written down ; the next two digits are sought in that column g which is immediately under the column f previously used, and the code are letters added ; then without moving the slide the next two digits are taken from columns f, and so on. Letters may be substituted for the numbers on the appliance, the columns f then bearing the letters a a, a b, &c., to z z, together with the code letters, which are different from those in use with the numerals. Each of the continuation columns g commences with a and its code equivalent, and ends with z. The two arrangements may be combined on one appliance, the letter arrangement on the slide being put below the numerical one. The continuation columns for the letter arrangement may be put on the back of a flap hinged near the top of the columns g.

Abstract: 18,835. Marks, E. C. R., [Freeman, L. G.]. Sept. 8. Paring; soles; heels.-A sole rounding or trimming machine, particularly for use on the heel end of the shoe before the heel is applied, is provided with upper and lower guide-wheels mounted so as to move vertically independently of each other, and with a trimming- knife mounted at right-angles to, but with its cutting-edge in line with, the axes of rotation of the guide-wheels. The machine can be used for rounding the whole of the sole, or, by the substitution of a rand knife, for randing. The shoe is fed by wheels 1, 3, Fig. 2, mounted respectively on shafts 2, 5, Fig. 1, which are geared together and driven from a main shaft 45. The shaft 5 also carries an interchangeable guide-wheel 4, against which the counter of the shoe may be pressed, although it is preferably pressed against an adjustable guard 12, which partly embraces and encloses the end of the wheel. An adjustable work-table 16 is also provided to co-operate with the wheel 4 and its guard. The trimming-knife 10, which is located in grooves 8, 9, is positioned with its cutting-edge 11, Fig. 4, in axial alinement with the axes of the shafts 2, 5. It is carried by a knife-bar 20, Fig. 4, which is adjustably secured in grooves in the machine frame with its rear end abutting against an adjustable clamping-plate, while its top edge is held down by a top plate 26, Fig. 1. This ensures an accurate adjustment of the knife, and prevents it from yielding during cutting. To adjust the distance between the feed-wheels, the shafts 2, 5 are mounted respectively in frames 29, 30, and 27, which are pivoted at 28, 31, and coupled together by a spring - pressed pivoted stirrup 32, adjustable by means of a thumb-screw 36. Fine adjustment is provided for by means of thumb-screws 37, 39. The shafts are separated, for the insertion of the work, by treadle connexions 42,43.
