NEW TIME RECORDER.
Said to BE a Great Improvement Over
Previous Devices.


This time recorder recently patented
| by Frederick W.. Cook, of San Antonio,
Tex, from previous devices of this
character, says the Scientific American.
The operative mechanism in Mr.. Cooks
contrivance consists Of c~lock-driven
rollers which act directly upon a roll
of paper mounted in the casing. The
paper is lined lon~gitudinally and is
graduated along its edges to represent
hours and minutes. The clock-rollers
draw the paper owe n table at a wide
opening in the casing, so as to enable
employees to write their names upon the
Longitudinal lines. A slot in the lid
on the left-hand side of the opening
partially exposes the graduated edge
of the paper and enables the employee
to see at what time he writes his name.
A transfer strip is secured to the under
side of the lid and extends transverse
ly into the opening and in a line with
the slot. When an employe writes his
name, he makes q mark upon the strip
which transfers the impression in diff
ferent colored tndeliDle substance TO
the paper beneath and indicates the
exact time when the name was writ

And brag that we on land or sea
