PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
Improved Ticket for Railway Travelling.
I, CARL STANGE of Frankenberg in the Empire of Germany, Merchant do
hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
The object of this invention is to provide a ticket for railway travelling which
contains a number of detachable parts or leaves, which are used for each portion or
subdivision of the whole journey, the said ticket containing merely what is require.l
for an ordinary journey and thus dispensing with the travelling books which contain
much that is superfluous and remains unnoticed while being at the same time too
bulky and expensive.
The railway ticket for a given journey consists of an arrangement and connection
of any desired number of parts consisting of one or more leaves.
Each part refers to a determined portion of the whole journey which is suitably
described and illustrated and is provided with appropriate notices and with what-
ever may be worth seeing. Each part carries as a heading the names of the
departure and arrival stations of the portion of line to be travelled over and its
length in miles or kilometres, as well as the name, number &c. of the issuing booking
office.
In the description of the partial journey the different stations are printed on the
edges of the ticket for that portion in order to facilitate the noticing thereof when
using the ticket. Moreover there are shown at the top as well as at the bottom of
the description the corresponding parts of the journey to be accomplished.
For a determined travelling direction or route only the different portions of the
journey required to be considered are shown in the sequence or order in which they
are to be met, being illustrated by means of plans and maps. In order to supply at
the same time the necessary information to the traveller as to the different railway
lines and steamboats and their termini, the plans of the corresponding intermediate
portions of the journey to be travelled over are added in the shape of additional
leaves and hence render the itinerary or railway ticket somewhat more voluminous.
These loose sheets are bound with wire in a fold or pleat so as to make a whole and
are inserted in an envelope or casing. The railway ticket may also be fixed in a
cover by means of an india rubber band.
For very extensive journeys where the binding together of all the descriptions of
the different parts of the journey in an envelope would form too voluminous a book
and would impair the handiness of the ticket, the latter may be split into several
parts or pieces so that only that part which is in temporary use need be held in the
cover.
Dated this 20th day of July 1893.

page_text: I, CARL STANGE, of Frankenberg, in the Empire of Germany, Merchant, do
hereby declare the nature of this invention and in what manner the same is to be
performed, to be particularly described and ascertained in and by the following
statement :-
The object of this invention is to provide a ticket for railway travelling which
contains a number of detachable parts or leaves which are used for each portion or
sub-division of the whole journey, the said ticket containing merely what is required
for an ordinary journey and thus dispensing with the travelling books which contain
much that is superfluous and remains unnoticed while being at the same time too
bulky and expensive.
The railway ticket for a given journey consists of an arrangement and connection
of any desired number of parts consisting of one or more leaves.
Each part refers to a determined portion of the whole journey which is suitably
described and illustrated and is provided with appropriate notices and with what-
ever may be worth seeing. Each part carries as a heading the names of the
departure and arrival stations of the portion of line to be travelled over and its
length in miles or kilometres, as well as the name, number &c. of the issuing booking
office.
In the description of the partial journey the different stations are printed on the
edges of the ticket for that portion in order to facilitate the noticing thereof when
using the ticket. Moreover there are shown at the top as well as at the bottom of
the description the corresponding parts of the journey to be accomplished.
For a determined travelling direction or route only the different portions of the
journey required to be considered are shown in the sequence or order in which they
are to be met, being illustrated by means of plans and maps. In order to supply at
the same time the necessary information to the traveller as to the different railway
lines and steamboats and their termini, the plans of the corresponding intermediate
portions of the journey to-be travelled over are added in the shape of additional
leaves and hence render the itinerary or railway ticket somewhat more voluminous.
These loose sheets are bound with wire in a fold or pleat so as to make a whole and
are inserted in an envelope or casing. The railway ticket may also be fixed in a
cover by means of an india rubber band.
For very extensive journeys where the binding together of all the descriptions of
the different parts of the journey in an envelope would form too voluminous a book
and would impair the handiness of the ticket, the latter may be split into several
parts or pieces so that only that part which is in temporary use need be held in the
cover.
The invention is illustrated by the accompanying drawings.
The improved railway ticket is composed of separate parts covered with a paste-
board cover b as shown at Figure 2, the whole being bound into a narrow channel
piece a. The ticket thus made is placed within a portfolio or cover where it is secured
by means of an india-rubber band d as shown at Figure 2. Each portion of the ticket
represents a certain portion of the journey aud bears the name of the station at the
beginning and end of this portion of the journey and the length of the journey in
kilometres; and it also describes the sights, hotels, etc. and may be illustrated by
maps or plans.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said inven-
tion, and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what I
claim is :-
1. A ticket for railway travelling with leaves arranged for each complete journey

page_text: according to the breaks permitted in the same, characterized by the combination or
connection of the descriptions of the divers intermediate or partial journeys fixed in
a pleat by means of wires and which can be inserted in a casing or cover or secured
inside a cover by means of an india-rubber band.
2. In the railway ticket claimed above, the inscriptions of the ends of the corre
sponding intermediate or partial journeys, the distance between which is indicated
in kilometres at the head or top thereof while the following or adjoining partial or
intermediate journeys are shown at the beginning and at the end of the description
and the various stations are printed on the edge of the description of the
intermediate journeys, together with the supply of railway maps or plans for the
corresponding partial journeys travelled over and forming parts of the whole
journey.
Dated this 17th day of April 1895.
