DOES WORK OF THE rELLERs

AT last device has been invented to
make bank clerks honest. This is
more important statement than you
think, says the New York World.
But when you stop to remember that
more than $25,000,0OO was embezzled
in this country in 1894 you can see
what it means to banks and big
money concerns to be insured against
dishonest paying tellers and receivers.
The Union Dime Savings bank, of
this city, has got a machine which
does it,
An almost human mechanical de-
vice of polished steel and brass, which
never makes mistakes, cannot run
away, never robs, does not have to
be bonded, but does simultaneously
and unerringly the work of bank teller
and bookkeeper, would appear to be,
an impossibility, even in these days
Of wonderful inventions, but such a
machine has been perfected and is in
daily use. The name of this machine
is the ''arithmologautotype.'
Bookkeeping by machinery is an.
appropriate name for its processes.
1t is regarded as infallible in prevent
ing errors, accidental or intentional,
among bank employees. 1t has often
been said that no device can make
man honest, but dishonesty can be
made mighty dangerous by proper
safeguards.

NEW YORK, May 30.-Mohair ma

pur great grandmother have decided
lv made a great hit among US. They
are somewhat after the style of alpaca,
but stfffer, and are undoubtedly sue
cessful for the new wide skirt which
Is really becoming quite atrocious-
they grow fuller and fuller. Told by
MIR. Redfern, who is an authority on
these matters-that quite the latest
way of arranging these skirts is to let
pleats into each seam, so that the cir
cumference measures some fourteen
wards. but, alas, will not the weight
of all these materials be perfectly ter
rible during the warm weather? AS to
the waists Of the present goWns-one
sees hardly any style but the fright
fully overdone box pleat. They have
box pleats at the back as we'll as the
front, and many of the skirts and
sleeves also have this adornment.

the right-hand side of the machine is
the means by which it is worked.
kfACIIJAJE TN ODnD ATION

| The method of operation is as fol-
| lows: The machine, located at the re-
! ceiving tellers window, is set at blank
before the opening of business each
morning. The opening in front and on
the top show simply row of ciphers.
A customer appears to deposit say
Sl25.50 The pass-book, together with
the deposit slip and the deposit, is
handed to the teller. The latter COM
pares the slip with the items; then
places the pass-book open on the slide
under the cylinder on the left of the
machine He quickly presses the
proper keys in the keyboard, which
denote the amount of the deposit. In
stantly the wheels in the big box re-
volve, and at the apertures in the
front and on the top of the tox appear
the figures $125.50, together with the
of the crank on the right completes
the work. That turn of the crank does
three things simultaneously.
1t prints in the pasS-book a full rec
ord of the transaction-say '25th May,
1895, B., $125.50." 1t also prints on the
posted and the number of the pass
book, and 1t also registers ON total
sheet the sum deposited.
A second customer comes in to de-
posit $50.25. His pass-book is placed
on the slide and the proper keys pushed
down. At once the figures $5O.25 ap-
pear at the aperture in the face of the
box, while at the top one the figures
are $17575, showing the total of the two
deposits. A turn Of the crank and the
record of the second transaction is
complete. And so it goes all day, the
top opening In the box showing the to-
tai deposits as they increase.
DEPOSITOR CAN SEE IT.
The machine is so situated at the
all IL Il
have a plain view of the figures in the
face of the box, and thus see for HIM
self that the amount of his deposit is
correctly recorded. At the end of the
day the cash in the receiving teller's
cage should tally exactly with the
amount registered at the aperture in
the top of the box.
There can be no changing of figures
or turning back of the wheels The
mechanism is such that this is i'm
possible. The crank can only be turned
one way and only a certain distance at
time. If the money key should be
pressed by mistake the fact would
at once show in the opening in the
front side of the box. The teller is
not allowed to make any entry or
mark in the passbook, his sole duty
being to place the money handed him
in receptacle and work the machine.
With a machine at both receiving
and paying tellers' windows in a bank,
the top or total apertures of both
machines form a constant balance
sheet, from which the officers can tell
at any hour just how the business of
the day is running.
Collusion between tellers and book
keepers is rendered by this machine
impossible, and the machine cannot be
"beat." 1t would be perfectly pos
sible to extend the tape in both ma
chimes to the presidents Office, so
that the tellers' windows would be
practically under the presidents eye all
the time.
With the arithmologautotype the
St. Paul daily globe., 1895-06-02

not entirely dispensing with the serv-
ices of the regular bank teller, re-
solves the teller's duties into simple
handling of a customers pass book
to the machine, turning crank and
handing the book back to the Gus
toner again. The machine does the
rest. With the mechanical teller any
do the work as well as the most expert
bank employe.
THE ARITHMOLOGAUTOTYPE.
The story of the arithmolcgautetype
is like one Of Jules Verne'S romantic
mechanical devices brought to material
shape and use. It is the creation of
President Charles E. Sprague, of the
Union Dime Savings bank, of Thirty
second street and Broadway. The new
machine has had a practical trial in
that bank and met all expectations. 1t
was taken out last week to allow room
for permanent connections to be put in,
and as soon as these are ready, prob
ably in ten or twelve days, two arith-
mologautotypes will be fixtures in the
Union Dime bank, one at the receiv-
ing and one at the paying teller's
window.
THE arithmologautotype was origi-
hally conceived by me years ago as the
basis for what newspaper men would
term fake story" said President
Sprague to World reporter, VINO saw
him in his office at the Union Dime
Savings bank last week.
y 81 had read an account of a bank
teller getting away with a big lot of
money by altering pass books and the
banks books, and as I sat thinking
about the case I ina gined a contri-
vance. that would be proof against such
of accounts. I conceived
a machine that would do all the work
Of the teller, that would show at any
hour of the day just how the bank
stood, that would be a practical and
constant balance sheet. OF course all
this was purely imaginary.
"At that time was associate editor
of fortnightly paper devoted to book
keeping interests, and, needing an ar
ticle for the next issue, l put my inn
aginings into the shape of a descrip-
ton of my mythical machine, giving
it the name of the arithmologauto.y type.
PERFECTLY FEASIBLE.
The account was published in our
and the matter soon passed
from my mind. Some years later

the story had written, and remarked
to me that it was a pretty good thing.

operation of receiving a customers
deposit and recording it is quicker than
the process now in vogue. ErEors, if
there are any, are detected when made.
The machines work is absolutely cor
rect, ,and the cash receipts and disburse-
ments must tally every night.
In printing the amount of the de-
posit in the pass book the machine is
as perfect in it's alignment as a type
writer, and not only prints in non
erasible ink, but also makes an in
dentation in the paper that is proof
against alteration.
Mr.. Allen, the inventor of the ma
chine, has patented it in all it's parts,
both in this country and abroad. He
feels that there will be a general de-
mand for it from all large banks as
soon as the banking world has chance

ever of that interesting game, judging
from the golfing suits and capes that
are turned out to order at the English
tailor's. Most of these suits are usually
composed of tweeds or serges. But

"My friend Allen is a fine mechani-
clan and inventor, and as I was at that
time looking about for some system of
preventing mistakes in making en-
J tries in bank books, l told him to go
ahead and make our bank such a ma
chine
"Mr. Allen did so. adding some i'm
provements of his own, and a couple
of weeks ago the perfected machine
was brought into the bank and put to
work at the receiving teller's window.
! This week we took it out to ease up
| some of the bearings and to do some
work here which is necessary to the
permanent use of the machine. While
| conceived the arithmologautotype,
Mr.. Allen is the inventor of it.
"Our reason for putting the machine
| in our bank is desire to have an up
| to-date and at the same time simple
and correct system of keeping ac-
counts without unnecessarily consum-
| ing the time of depositors.
"Our employees, who are long in our
service and perfectly in the confidence
of the banks officers, are glad to have
the new machine, as it insures them
against any clerical errors"
LOOK AT IT'S MECHANISM.
The arithmologautotype, which the
reporter examined at the bank, consists
of an elaborate mechanism inclosed in
polished steel box about three feet
square by two deep. On the left side
of this steel box is steel cylinder of
about twelve inches diameter, inclos- |
IF q
edges of which are the letters of the
alphabet and the numerals.
On the bottom of this cylinder are
openings through which the letters and
figures on the wheels appear when the
machine is worked. Directly under the
cylinder is a slide on which the pass
book is placed, open, so that when the
slide is pushed in the figures and let
ters on the wheels within the cylinder
will make an impression. of the exact
amount deposited on the page of the
book.
The front elevation of the large steel
box has longitudinal opening which
shows the edges or tires of set Of
wheels on each of which are the
numerals. On the top of the box is a
similar opening, showing a similar set
of wheels. These openings are just
large enough to show one figure on
each wheel.
In front of the square box, and ex-
tending outward at it's base, is a large
keyboard containing 120 keys similar
to but considerably larger than those
of the ordinary typewriting machine.
The whole apparatus weighs about
500 pounds, and stands on a steel frame
