thought out the machine and has made a

1t consists of series of wheels about
three inches in diameter on a spindle, and

The wheels are operated by levers to
which keys are attached. the same az type

six wheels, the figures on the wheel to the
extreme right representing units, the next
one to the left representing tens, and so
on up TO one hundred thousand. By add

be increased indefinitely.

1t Is much easier for the eve to take ir
8 line. just as one reads from left TO right
than to read up or down column. Mr.
Roseboom takes the former method. and
acts down the first line across, 2346. that i:
to say, be strikes these keys in their re.
spective columns. Next he strikes /. Z g.
2, and the wheels show the sum, namely
4078. Then 9. i, 3. 5, and the wheels show
1918, and so on. AS with the typewriter
compared with the pen the process is much
faster. To prove the CORRECTNESS Of the
addition, he undoes the work; i. e., re-
verses the machine, and travels backward,
subtracting, and if at the end the wheels
do not show four ciphers mistake has
been made.
=. The process OF subtraction can be in
ferred from the above.
In multiplication the great saving is in
not having to retain in the memory the
figure which has to be carried" 1t avoids
the mental effort of multiplying and add
ing at the same time. Take simple ex-
ample: 2346x36. AS taught at school and
never forgotten. you say: six times six
are 81" and you set down six. 'Six times
foGr are "a, and TO carry. 81" and you
set DOWN.. "Six times three are 49," etc,
With the machine no carrying is neces-
sary.
For the sake of convenience the example
is shown on the machine where the eye
win reach easiest, and it is constantly be-
fore the operator. he says mentally six
times six thirty-six," and strikes those
keys. Then six fours twenty-four," and
strikes these keys, using the next left
hand rev of keys for the two" The
wheels will inst antly show 276 ''Six
threes eighteen" and the wheels show
2076; finally six twos twelve" and the
wheels expose 1906 With the next
figure in the multiplier he says mentally,
three SKIES eighteen" and strikes those
fgeres on the fourth and fifth rows of
keys, and so Cd to the end. Not only is
the mental addition al each step saved but
also the final addition, because when he
has struck the last key for the second fig
ure in the multiplier the product is before
him on the instant.
The process of division is not so easily
described in print. Perhaps it is best eX-
piained by saying it is just the reverse OF
multiplying. In case figure too large or
teo small has been used in the quotieDt
there is no necessity of rubbing it OUT
and beginning over. but in the midst of
the example you have only to subtract or
add the divisor. as the case may be, and
then proceed.

If you strike the figure in the right

again and the figure will appear at the
top and 10 the left of it the figure l, or to-

neous. The carrying of ''1'' TO the left

mechanical. When the wheel TO The right
