EDWARD BURTON 31, Struttan Street Willow Terrace Road Leeds do hereby
declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
An ordinary card Calendar varied in size & design in one or more colours to which
is attached in the form of a roll a long strip or column of paper with printing on both
sides. On the one side of the strip is printed in bold type the date of every day in
the year beginning with January 1st & ending with Dec. 31st. On the other side
may be printed various advertisements, texts, proverbs quotations events or any
desireable matter, which run continuous with the dates on the other side. It is then
made into a small roll and attached to the card by an elastic cord or thread passed
through the centre of the roll & the ends of the cord or thread pass through the
card & are tied at the back.
Immediately under the roll is a slit cut through the card the length of which is
such as to allow the strip to run through freely the outer end of which is slipped
through the slit to the back of the card & is then brought to the front again through
another slit below & again brought to the back of the card through a third slit each
of the same size & parallel.
There is then on the front of the card the roll at the top exhibiting advertisements
or other desireable matter & below it an oblong portion of the strip displayed between
the two lower slits sufficiently large for one date to appear at a time the other dates
appearing consecutively as the strip is pulled down.
Dated this Eighth day of March 1889.

page_text: 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 1
claim is
1st. That it is easier to read and not so confusing to the eye as many Calendars.
2nd. That it is easily adjusted and can be made extremely instructive.
Dated this 9th day of January 1890.
