The rollers E, D revolve in the direction indicated by the arrows, by means of weighted cords wound upon their spindles, except when the pawls I, J engage the stops b. A single stop on the band A raises an arm f in passing under it, and hence the pawl J also, which is connected to the arm f. The pawl I is similarly operated from the band B. A cord, attached to a weight at one end and a lever at the other, passes over the spindle of the roller F, so that on the lever being pulled the roller F moves one unit in the direction shown by the arrow. Every tenth unit the stop on A raises the pawl J through the medium of the arm F, allowing the band B to advance one figure. The band C acts similarly. Three sets as described will show the two individual and the total scores. By connecting the three sets in pairs to three levers, the movement of one lever works the total and individual scores.

When silvering is to be done, equal quantities of the silver and of a reducing solution are mixed together and poured on to a well-polished glass plate. After a short time, the solution is poured off, the plate is washed and dried, and the precipitated silver is coated evenly with warm dilute gelatine or shellac. The paper &c. is next laid on, smoothed over with a roller, and then, after drying, the whole is stripped from the glass. A transparent neutral lacquer (which may be coloured) is painted over the metallic coating to fix it. The silver solution contains 10 grains of silver nitrate dissolved in 50 c.c. of water, with ammonia added till the precipitate formed is redissolved, when the whole is made up to 1 litre with water. The reducing solution consists of 20 grains Rochelle salts and 20 grains of white sugar candy dissolved in 200 c.c. of water to which is added 4 grains of silver nitrate in 20 c.c. of water. This, after boiling for half an hour, is made up as before described to 1 litre and filtered.
