A MACHINE has been invented for
typewriting and adding figures at the
same time. The invention is intended
TO quickly and accurately add column
or columns Of figures, and, ut the same
time, and by the same manipulation
Of the keys, to print these figures upon
n sheet of paper or blank book in the
order in which they are added, so as to
form n proof sheet, which will verify
the correctness Of the addition. The
machine works with the ease Of type
writer, and its speed is only limited by
the skill Of the operator. II subtracts
by reversing arrangement, the regis
tering disk running both ways.
