I SAMUEL HENRY SUTTON General Dealer 24 Carpenter Road Edgbaston Birming-
ham do horoby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
-
My Invention consists of two Barrels of Tin Paper, Wood, or any other substance.
The Outer Barrel has a slot from end to end, sufficiently wide to show one row of
figures at one time on the inside Barrol. The Outer Barrel also has one row of figures
printed or impressed, running parallel and near to the edge of the slot. The inside
Barrel which revolves shows the result of multiplying the row of figures on the outer
Barrel by any number at pleasure. The inside Barrel also may be used for a pencil
case. The Outer Barrel forms a rule one end or cap of which may be countersunk
and used as a Clock Dial with a pair of Hands by which children may learn the time.
The other end or cap has a hole to receive a Knob which is fixed in the inner Barrel
to turn it round. I also make it to use as a Lead Pencil or Penholder, the Pencil or
ponholder to be used for the inside Barrel.

ham 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 :-
My Invention consists of two Cylinders or Barrels of Tin, Paper, Wood or any
other substance: The Outer Cylinder has a slot from end to end, sufficiently wide to
shew one row of figures at one time, on the inside Cylinder. The outside Cylinder
also has one row of figures printed or impressed running parallel and near to the edge
of the slot. The inside Cylinder which revolves shows the result of multiplying the
row of figures on the Outer Cylinder by any number at pleasure. The inside Cylinder
also may be used for a pencil Case, the Outer Cylinder forms a Rule, one end or cap
of which may be countersunk and used as a Clock Dial, with a pair of Hands by
which Children may learn the time, the other end or cap has a hole to receive a Knob
which is fixed in the inner Barrel or Cylinder to turn it round. I also make it to
use as a lead pencil, or pen holder the pencil or pen holder to be used for the inside
Cylinder or in place of the cylinder and on a much smaller scale.
In order that my Invention may be clearly understood, I have appended hereunto
a sheet of drawings shewing the applications of my invention for making Calculation
of numbers etc.
Fig. 1.
A. is the outside Cylinder, with a open slot running from end to end.
B. is a row of consecutive numbers printed or impressed on the upper edge of
the open slot, and are fixed numbers and each number answers the purpose of a
multiplicand.
C. is one row of figures printed on the inside Cylinder which figures are the
result of multiplying the figures on the outer Cylinder by 2 the number on the
extreme left hand on the inside Cylinder, now by turning the inside Cylinder round
the next line is the product of the outer line by 3 which figure 3 is also the extreme left
hand figure on the inside Cylinder and so on to any number which may be conveniently
printed on the inside Cylinder.
D. is a Cap or Cover which may be taken off to use the inside Cylinder as a
pencil Case.
E. the face of the Cover or Cap is countersunk and the figures of the clock are
printed on, loose Hands are also fixed for children to turn round and so learn the
time of day.

page_text: F. is a false bottom through which is a hole for the Knob to work in and which
acts as a bottom for the inside Cylinder which is used for a penicil Case.
G. is a-Knob or Handle fixed to the inside Cylinder to turn it round.
The Cylinders may be used for any other Calculation of numbers viz. Discount and
Interest, Wages or insurance tables etc.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of the said Inventions
and in what manner the same is to be performed I declare that what I claim is
The Combination of Ready Reckoner, Pencil Case, Ruler, and Time telling dial
for the purposes herein set forth.
