Year: 1880

page_text: LETTERS PATENT to George William Warren, of Newington Green Road,
in the County of Middlesex, Watchmaker, for an Invention of "IMPROVEMENTS
IN APPARATUS FOR INDICATING AND REGISTERING THE FARES OR MONIES
RECEIVED BY TRAM CAR CONDUCTORS AND OTHER PERSONS."
PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION left by the said George William Warren
at the Office of the Commissioners of Patents on the 10th September 1880.
GEORGE WILLIAM WARREN, of Newington Green Rond, in the County of
Middlesex, Watchmaker. "IMPROVEMENTS IN APPARATUS FOR INDICATING AND
REGISTERING THE FARES OR MONIES RECEIVED BY TRAM CAR CONDUCTORS AND
OTHER PERSONS."
My present improvements in apparatus for indicating and registering the fares or
monies received by tram car conductors and other persons have reference to
apparatus of the kind described in the Specification of a former Patent granted to
me the 20th June 1878, No. 2468. With such apparatus, by moving what I term
a miniature turnstile, the four operations are or may be performed of sounding a
bell or alarm, registering a payment or an index, marking a ticket, and issuing the
ticket that has been marked.
Now in instruments of the class referred to for performing those or some of those
operations, according to my present Invention the toothed wheel (or equivalent)
that causes the travel of the inking band is operated by a pinion that is loose on
the arbor of the main stud wheel, around which arbor is a spiral spring fixed at
one end to the arbor, and at the other end to the pinion, so that as the arbor moves
it will, through the spring and pinion, drive the band, but whilst type is pressing
against the band the arbor of the main stud wheel will turn without turning the
pinion, and the spring will store up power, which it will expend in further moving
the inking band when it is no longer arrested by pressure of type against it.
The instrument is arranged to contain ink enough to last a considerable period,
for which purpose the feeders are constructed to form ink reservoirs and allow
ink to perineate to the chamois leather covering when the instrument is in use.
The ticket issuing apparatus is furnished with a gauging spring designed to
diminish the restrictions as to thickness of ticket and to prevent the reintroduction
of a ticket under the issuing spike wheel or wheels. There is also provided a hood

page_text: or cover to collect the dust arising from the action of the issuing wheels on the
tickets, and thus prevent clogging of the instrument. The ticket table is provided
with extensions so formed as to arrest the tickets when the store is nearly
exhausted, thereby giving due warning of its being needful to replenish.
Among the types of instrument I construct are two I denominate respectively
the "uniform" and the "union." Instruments of the uniform type are designed
to indicate and register fares or payments of uniform amount, such as one penny,
two pence, or other fixed sum. Instruments of the union type on the contrary are
designed to indicate and register either a normal fare or payment, as for example,
two pence, or any augmented fare, as for example three pence.
Now, my present Invention comprises improvements having especial reference to
these respective types of instrument. In the "uniform" type of instrument the
issuing is effected by continued movement of the miniature turnstile or its
equivalent in the same direction, as for registering and printing or marking. For
this purpose the miniature turnstile arbor carries a wheel having series of teeth at
intervals only, and not entirely around its circumference, and each set of such teeth
comes into gear with a pinion that operates the issuing gear when or immediately
after a ticket has been registered and marked. The ticket is marked by type
operated directly (instead of through shifting gear) from the bent arm that is
operated by the segments. In the "union" type of instrument. the issuing of
tickets is or may be effected as in the "uniform" instrument. But the instrument
-is-so-arranged that_by_a_reverse movement of tho miniature turnstile or its
equivalent the main stud wheel will be caused to perform a reverse-movement-
without turning its arbor, and during such-movement-will-shift_the_type_so_as
bring into position for printing subsequently a typo indicating a higher fare or
nmount than the normal fare or amount; then by subsequent forward movement
of the turnstile the arbor of the main stud wheel with the indicator finger thereon
will be moved through a correspondingly greater space over the dial to register the
fare or payment, the ticket will be marked with such higher fare or amount, and
as this is effected the type will be returned to position for printing the normal fare
or amount on a subsequent forward movement of the miniature turnstile or
equivalent, or another fare at the higher rate if the turnstile bo moved both
backward and forward for that purpose, as above described.
to
In instruments such as shown in the Specification of my former Patent I now
arrange the type keys so that normally the ends next the type-pressing wheel will
not project beyond their guide plate. By this arrangement play is afforded when
the types are pressed out, and thus more equal impressions are obtained. To enable
the type pressing wheel to be, when requisite, moved at each stroke through more
than one sixth of a circle, I provide about its arbor inclines, in connection with
which I so arrange a sort of click, that after the type pressing wheel has been by
the action of the stud wheel partially rotated it will be moved through a further
and definite distance by the action of the click, and then arrested and held by the
same.

the said George William Warren in the Great Seal Patent Office on the 16th
March 1881.
GEORGE WILLIAM WARREN, of Newington Green Road, in the County of
Middlesex, Watchmaker. "IMPROVEMENTS IN APPARATUS FOR INDICATING AND
REGISTERING THE FARES OR MONIES RECEIVED BY TRAM CAR CONDUCTORS AND
OTHER PERSONS."
My present improvements in apparatus for indicating and registering the fares
or monies received by tram car conductors and other persons, have reference to
apparatus of the kind described in the Specification of a former Patent granted to
me the 20th June 1878, No. 2468. With such apparatus, by moving what I term
a miniature turnstile, the four operations are or may be performed of sounding a
bell or aların, registering a payment on an index, marking a ticket, and issuing the
ticket that has been marked.
Now, in instruments of the class referred to for performing those or some of
those operations, according to my present Invention the toothed wheel (or equi-
valent) that causes the travel of the inking band is operated by a pinion that is
loose on the arbor of the main stud wheel, around which arbor is a spiral spring
fixed at one end to the arbor and at the other end to the pinion, so that as the
arbor moves it will through the spring and pinion drive the band; but whilst type
is pressing against the band the arbor of the main stud wheel will turn without
turning the pinion, and the spring will store up power which it will expend in
further moving the inking band when it is no longer arrested by pressure of type
against it.
The instrument is arranged to contain ink enough to last a considerable period,
for which purpose the feeders are constructed to form ink reservoirs and allow ink
to permeate to the chamois leather covering when the instrument is in use.
The ticket issuing apparatus is furnished with a gauging spring, designed to
diminish the restrictions as to thickness of ticket and to prevent the re-introduction
of a ticket under the issuing spike wheel or wheels. There is also provided a hood
or cover to collect the dust arising from the action of the issuing wheels on the
tickets, and thus prevent clogging of the instrument.
The ticket table is provided with extensions so formed as to arrest the tickets
when the store is nearly exhausted, thereby giving due warning of its being needful
to replenish.

Among the types of instrument I construct are two, I denominate respectively
the "uniform" and tho 'union." Instruments of the uniform type are designed
to indicato and register fares or payments of uniform amount, such as one penny,
two pence, or other fixed sum. Instruments of the union type, on the contrary, are
designed to indicate and register either a normal fare or payment, as, for example,
twopence, or an augmented fare, as, for example, three pence."
Now my present Invnntion comprises improvements having especial reference to
these respective types of instrument. In the "uniforin" type of instrument the
issuing is effected by continued movement of the miniature turnstile or its
equivalent in the same direction, as for registering and printing or marking. For
this purpose the miniature turnstile arbor carries a wheel, having series of teeth at
intervals only and not entirely around its circumference, and each set of such teeth
comes into gear with a pinion that operates the issuing gear when or immediately
after a ticket bas been registered and marked. The ticket is marked by type
operated directly (instead of through shifting gear) from the bent arm that is
operated by the segments. In the "union" type of instrument the issuing of
tickets is or may be effected as in the "uniform" instrument. But the instrument

page_text: is so arranged that by a reverse movement of the miniature turnstile, or its equi-
valent, the main stud wheel will be caused to perform a reverse movement without
turning its arbor, and during such movement will shift the type so as to bring
into position for printing, subsequently a type indicating a higher fare or amount
than, or one different from, the normal fare or amount; then, by subsequent
forward movement of the turnstile the arbor of the main stud wheel with the
indicator finger thereon will be moved through a correspondingly greater space
over the dial to register the fare or payment, the ticket will be marked with such
higher or different fare or amount, and as this is effected the type will be returned
to position for printing the normal fare or amount on a subsequent forward move-
ment of the miniature turnstile, or equivalent, or another fare at the higher or
different rate, if the turnstile be moved both backward and forward for that
purpose, as above described.
In instruments, such as shewn in the Specification of my former Patent (and
which I call the "non-uniform" instrument), I now arrange the type keys so that
normally the ends next the type-pressing wheel will not project beyond their guide
plate. By this arrangement play is afforded when the types are pressed out, and
thus more equal impressions are obtained. To enable the type pressing wheel to
be, when requisite, moved at each spoke, through more than one sixth of a circle, I
provide about its arbor inclines in connection with which I so arrange a sort of
click, that after the type pressing wheel has been by the action of the stud wheel
partially-rotated,-it-will-bc.moved through a further and definite distance by the
action of the click and then arrested and held by the same.
Referring now to the Drawings,-
Fig. 1 is a front elevation of the "union" instrument.
Fig. 2 is a plan of the same (with the top of case removed).
Fig. 3 is an end elevation (with end of case removed).
Figs. 4, 5, and 6 are sectional elevations taken in the lines A, B,—C, D,—and
E, F, respectively of Fig. 2, the clockwork being left out.
Fig. 7 is a transverse section of Fig. 2 taken in the line G, H.

Fig. 10 is an elevation of the main stud wheel arbor with its toothed wheels.
Fig. 11 is a view shewing (detached) the stud wheel.
Fig. 12 is a section of the said wheel attached to the back plate of the
instrument.
Figs. 13 and 14 are views showing one of the spring boxes and its roller for
pressing against the ticket table.
Fig. 15 is an elevation of the upper face of the ticket table, and Fig. 16 is a mid-
section thereof.
Fig. 17 is a side view of one of the frictional bearing pieces of the arbor of the
ticket propeller wheels.
Fig. 17 is an enlarged section of one of the ink feeders as constructed to form
a reservoir.
On the arbor 1 of the turnstile 2 is a pinion 3, which works a stud wheel 4,
having six studs 4*, and herein referred to as the main stud wheel. On another
axis 5 is a segment of a wheel 6 (herein-after called the "larger segment ") gearing
into a smaller segment 7 (see Figs. 2 and 4). The larger seginent 6 is formed with
a short arm 8* situate in the course of the studs 4* of the main stud wheel 4,
whereby the larger segment is operated. The smaller segment 7 has attached to it
a bent arm 9, extending over and arranged to operate a sliding stud or pusher 41
(see Fig. 7) bearing against a sliding key or part 15, carrying at its other extremity
a type or marking device 16.
The printing is performed by pressing against the ticket 16* an endless inked
hand 17 arranged to travel on suitable guide rollers 18, and in part situate between
the ticket 16 that has to be printed and the type, which when pressed down
forces the band 17 against the ticket and leaves a mark thereon.

page_text: The inking band is supplied with ink by being passed over ink feeding rollers
19, 19, which are constructed hollow so as to form ink reservoirs and allow ink
to permeate to the chamois leather covering when the instrument is in use.
Fig. 17* shews the construction of the rollers, which serve also as reservoirs.
At the front end of each roller or feeder is a hole a underneath the chamois leather
covering for the purpose of supplying ink to the roller and allowing the ink to ooze
out onto the band in the working of the instrument; b is a perforated screw
through which just enough air enters to insure outflow of ink at a. The spindle
on which the roller revolves passes through a tube secured at each end of the
roller itself, as shewn, so as to enclose the ink in the body of the roller; 19* gives
a slow intermittent travel to the band by a toothed wheel 20 at its one end, being
moved by a pinion 21 that is loose on the arbor of the main stud wheel 4, around
which arbor is a spiral spring 21* fixed at one end to the arbor, and at the other
end to the pinion, so that as the arbor moves it will, through the spring and pinion,
drive the band; but whilst the type is pressing against the band the arbor of the
main stud wheel will turn without turning the pinion, and the spring will thereby
store up power which it will expond in further moving the inking band when it is
no longer arrested by pressure of the type against it. This arrangement is shewn
separately in Fig. 10. To keep the band taut one roller is supported in sliding
bearings 22 provided with springs 23 at each end of its arbor to givo tension to
the band (see Figs. 2, 4, and 5). The one spring is adjusted to agree with the
other by turning the snail or part 23*. After printing the type key is returned
by a spring 15*. One end of the arbor which carries the main stud wheel has
attached to it the units or "
'pence," pointer 24 (Fig. 1), which works round a
dial 25 pointing successively to twelve different figures during each revolution.
Pointers for shillings and pounds are actuated by a train of wheels 26 to 26b,
geared with and driven by the pinion 26* of the pence pointor (Figs. 1 and 2).
In this type of instrument the issuing of the tickets is effected by continued
movement of the miniature turnstile, or its equivalent, in the same direction as for
registering and printing or marking. For this purpose the miniature turnstile
arbor 1 carries a wheel 27, which, as shown in Fig. 6, has series of teeth at intervals
only, and not entirely arround its circumference, and each set of such teeth comes
into gear with a pinion 28ª that operates the issuing gear when or immediately
after a ticket has been registered and marked. The forward action of the turnstile
causes spiked propeller wheels 29 to rotate, and by their spikes give a forward
motion to the ticket (16*) required to be issued (see Figs. 6 and 7). The arbor 20*
of the issuing spike wheels 29 has imparted to it pressure or friction by frictional
bearing pieces 31, the required amount of pressure being given by the springs 31*
(Figs. 6 and 17). The bearing pieces 31 are made with holes for oil to lubricate
the arbor 29 (see Fig. 17). A ratchet wheel 2a turns with the turnstile; the
click 2b prevents backward action until registration (once commenced) is com-
pleted; the plain parts 2° of the turnstile ratchet wheel allow of the back.ward
action of the turnstile (for marking a higher fare) which is returned by a spring
pressing on one of the parts 2º
The tickets which may be dressed with French chalk or soapstone are kept in
position and made to follow up by means of a ticket table 32 at their back, which
has pressing upon it friction rollers 33 at the ends of arms carried by two spring
boxes or barrels 34 (Figs. 13 and 14). The tickets issue through an opening 35; 35
is a plate hinged at 35b, and retained shut by a spring catch 35 to keep the edges
of the tickets in line and prevent their leaving the apparatus (see Figs. 3 and 7).
The ticket issuing apparatus is furnished with a gauging spring 36 (see Figs. 2
and 7) designed to diminish the restrictions as to thickness of ticket, and to prevent
the re-introduction of a ticket under the issuing spike wheel or wheels. There is
also provided a hood or cover 37 to collect the dust arising from the action of the
issuing wheels on the tickets, and thus prevent clogging of the instrument. The
dust so collected comes out with the tickets.. The ticket table is provided with
extensions 38 so formed as to arrest the tickets when the store is nearly exhausted

page_text: thereby giving due warning of its being needful to replenish. The instrument is
so arranged that by a reverse movement of the miniature turnstile 2 or its
equivalent the main stud wheel 4 will be caused to perform a reverse movement
without turning its arbor, and during such movement will shift the type so as to
bring into position for printing subsequently a type indicating a higher fare or
amount than the normal faro or amount; then by subsequent forward movement
of the turnstile 2 in the direction shewn by the arrow in Fig. 5 the arbor of the
main stud wheel 4 with the indicator finger thereon will be moved through a
correspondingly greater space over the dial 25 to register the fare or payment, the
ticket will be marked with such higher fare or amount, and as this is effected the
type will be returned to position for printing the normal faro or amount on a
subsequent forward movement of the miniature turnstile or equivalent; or another
fare at the higher rato if the turnstile be moved both backward and forward for
that purpose, as above described. In the instrument, as shewn in Figs. 1 to 17,
types for fares of two pence and three pence are employed. The change of fare or
amount indicated from two pence to three pence is effected as follows:-The
turnstile 2 is reversed or turned backwards, so that the stud wheel 11 (shewn
separately in Figs. 11 and 12) is operated by means of the intermediate wheel 12
-and the-pinion 13, which. latter gears into the main stud wheel 4; thus one of
the studs 11* is brought into contact with the projection 39 (Figs. 8 and 9) fixed
to the inside sliding block 40, which block carries the types. In this way the
threepenny type is moved opposite the pusher-41,-so-that-it_may_press_the_said
-type-against-the-marking-band-17,.as.hereinafter described. The turnstile is then
turned in its forward direction, thereby bringing the other stud 11* against the
reverse side of the projection 39, and so pushing the sliding block 40 and the two-
penny type back again into its normal position opposite the pusher 41.
42 is a spring acting on the inner sliding block to keep it in its normal position
(ie., with the twopenny type opposite pusher 41).
43 is a spring acting on an arm of the projection 39 pivotted to the sliding
block at 44 for the purpose of allowing the studs 11* pushing the projection 39
back and passing it as they come round when the block is in position for
indicating the twopenny fare. A ratchet wheel 45 with 12 teeth to agree with the
pence dial is fixed to the arbor of the main stud wheel 4, and acted on by a spring
pawl 40 to hold said arbor stationary during the reverse action of the turnstile.
Also fixed to the said arbor is another ratchet 47 with 12 teeth acted on by two
clicks 48 carried by the main stud wheel for turning the arbor with the wheel
during the forward action of the turnstile (see Fig. 4). For the purpose of shifting the
type the turnstile is reversed, the main stud wheel being thereby turned backwards
for the space of one of the teeth of the ratchet 47, the arbor being prevented
turning with it by the ratchet and pawl 45 and 46; then as the turnstile is turned
in its forward direction to its normal position the arbor is turned with its wheel 4
and registers the extra penny on the dial plate, the turnstile being then operated
as for the two penny fare, the augmented fare of three pence is marked on the
ticket which is delivered. The two penny type is brought back into its normal
position by one of the studs 11* pushing against the projection 39 and forcing the
sliding block 40 back into its original position. The main bevil wheel 27 is loose
on the arbor of the turnstile, being carried round in its forward direction by three
studs 50 carried by a plate 51 fixed to the said arbor. A spring 52 bears upon
the upper surface of the said wheel to keep it down upon the plate 51. This
admits of the backward action of tho turnstile without operating the issuing gear.
Although in the arrangement of instrument I have above described the main
stud wheel has six studs, it is to be understood that the number of studs, as also
the relative proportions and numbers of teeth in the gearing, will depend upon
circumstances, and that apparatus may be constructed in various forms to operato
on the principle of my Invention.
The "uniform" instrument is similar to the "union" (shewn in Figs 1 to 17),
with the exception of the following alterations :-Instead of two types one only is

page_text: used. The ratchet wheel 20 instead of having teeth only at intervals is formed
with teeth all the way round, and there is no backward movement of the turnstile.
The main bevil wheel 27 may be fixed to the arbor of the turnstile, the studs 50,
plate 51, and spring 52 being dispensed with, and the main stud wheel 4 is also
fixed to its arbor, the ratchet wheel 47 and clicks 48 being dispensed with. The
ratchet wheel 45 and its pawl 46 are also dispensed with. Instead of the shifting
or sliding type block (as shewn in Figs. 7, 8, and 9) being required, only a single
fixed type block for holding one type is used. The shifting stud wheel 11, the
intermediate wheel 12, and pinion 13 are also dispensed with.
Fig. 18 shews part of an instrument of the "non-uniform" type, the view
being taken from the back of the apparatus.
Fig. 19 is an elevation of the type block taken in the line I, J, of Fig. 18.
Fig. 20 is a section taken in the line K, L, and Fig. 21 a section taken in the
line M, N.
Fig. 22 is an elevation of the small segment type wheel and block.
Fig. 23 is an inside view of the main wheel for operating the train of wheels for
issuing the tickets.
Fig. 24 is a sectional view shewing the miniature turnstile, its arbor and the
various parts carried thereby, and the plates or framing in which the said arbor is
pivotted for operating this non-uniform instrument.
In this arrangement a wheel 10, called the type pressing wheel carried by a
tubular guide 56 at right angles to the sector 7, is moved through one third of a
revolution at each stroke or forward movement of the turnstile by one of the
studs 11" of the stud wheel 11 bearing against a tooth or projection 10* formed on
the said type wheel. On the arbor or tubular guide 56 of the type pressing
wheel 10 is carried a triangular piece of metal 53 formed with three inclines
(see Fig. 19). At one corner of this piece of metal is formed a hole through which
the projection 14 passes for pressing the type against the marking band. As the
type pressing wheel is revolved it carries round with it through the projection 14
the triangular piece 53. A click 54 pivotted to the type block is kept in position
against each incline of the piece 53 (as such incline comes round) by the spring 55,
so that after the type pressing wheel 10 has been (by the action of the stud wheel)
partially rotated, it will be moved through a further and definite distance (for
instance, the projection 14 will be moved to the centre of the next type in rotation)
by means of the said click and then arrested and held by the same.
This modification of instrument is operated by means of the turnstile 2, and
main bevil wheel 27, shewn in Figs. 23 and 24, in lieu of the arrangements shewn
in Figs. 1 to 17. In other respects the present instrument is the saine as the
"uniform" type of instrument with these exceptions, viz., 1st, each type represents
the unit of the index (such as a penny); 2nd, the wheels 11, 12, and 13, used in
in the "union" type of instrument are used also in the present type; 3rdly, the
arm 8 of the sector 6 is prolonged and carries a hammer or striker 8** at its
other end, which, as each unit is marked on the ticket strikes a bell or gong a, as
in the arrangement described in the Specification of my former Patent.
To issue a ticket the action of the turnstile 2 is reversed, that is to say, it is
turned backwards, setting in motion the main bevil wheel 27. This wheel 27
carries two clicks 27ª operating in connection with a ratchet wheel 27b (like a fusee
ratchet wheel in a watch) fixed on the arbor 1. The bevil wheel 27 is above and
in gear with the bevil pinion 28ª on the arbor 28 (Fig. 6), and when the
ratchet wheel 27 causes the bevil wheel to turn through the backward
action of the turnstile, it operates the issue train of wheels 28°, 28d, (see Fig. 6),
but the turnstile does not now give motion to the main stud wheel 4, because the
arbor 1 is connected to the pinion 3 by means of a crown ratchet 1* (Fig. 24)
having three teeth in each part. The teeth of one part slide half way up those
of the other. The return movement is effected by the spring acting on the part 2°.
The type pressing wheel may be arranged so as to move through less than one-
third of a revolution at each forward movement of the turnstile.

page_text: What I claim as of my present Invention is as follows:-
1. Operating the toothed wheel 20 or its equivalent (for causing the travel of
the inking band 17) by a pinion 21 that is loose on the arbor of the main stud
wheel 4, around which arbor is a spiral spring.21* fixed at one end to the arbor,
and at the other end to the pinion, so that as the arbor moves it will through
the spring and pinion drive the band; but whilst the type is pressing against the
band the arbor of the main stud wheel will turn without turning the pinion,
and the spring will thereby store up power which it will expend in further moving
the inking band when it is no longer arrested by pressure of the type against
it, all substantially as hereinbefore described and shewn.
2. Constructing the feeders 19, 19*, so as to form ink reservoirs and allow ink to
permeate the chamois leather when the machine is in use, substantially as and for
the purpose specified.
3. The ticket apparatus provided (1) with a gauging spring 36 arranged to
diminish the restrictions as to thickness of ticket, and to prevent the reintro-
duction of a ticket under the issuing spike wheel or wheels; and (2) with a hood
or cover 37 to collect the dust arising from the action of the issuing wheels on the
tickets and prevent clogging of the instrument, substantially as described.
4. Providing the ticket table with extensions 38 so formed as to arrest the
tickets when the store (or quantity) is nearly exhausted-and-thereby-give-duo-
warning of its being needful to replenish, substantially as described.
5.-Providing-the-miniature.turnstile_arbor_with a wheel having series of teeth
at intervals only on its circumference, and by the same forward movement of the
miniature turnstile that effects issue of a ticket, causing one-such-set-of-teeth-to-
come into gear with the pinion that operates the issuing gear, when or immediately
after the ticket has been registered and marked, substantially as and for the
purpose specified.
6. In an instrument of the kind heroinbefore referred to as the "union" causing
by a reverse or backward movement of the miniature turnstile (or its equivalent),
the main stud wheel to perform a reverse or backward movement without turning
its arbor, and during such movement to shift the type, so as to bring into position
for printing subsequently a type indicating a fare or amount different from the
nominal fare or amount, substantially as described.
7. The improved apparatus hereinbefore distinguished as the "union" instrument,
constructed, arranged, and operating substantially as hereinbefore described, with
reference to and shewn in Figs. 1 to 17 (inclusive) of the Drawings, for indicating
and registering the fares or monies received by tram car conductors and other
persons.
8. The modified arrangement of apparatus bereinbefore referred to as the
"uniform" instrument, and constructed, arranged, and operating as described and
for the purpose specified.
9. In apparatus of the type herein above referred to as the "non-uniform," the
arrangement whereby the type pressing wheel, after it has been by the action of
the stud wheel partially rotated, is moved through a further and definite distance
and then arrested and held, substantially as and for the purpose specified.
In witness whereof, I, the said George William Warren, have hereunto set
my hand and seal, this Eighth day of March, in the year of our Lord' One
thousand eight hundred and eighty one.
