Improvements in Electrical Transcribing Apparatus.
I, ERNEST AUGUST HUMMEL, of 808, Ohio Street, St. Paul, in the County of
Ramsey, and State of Minnesota, United States of America, do hereby declare
the nature of this invention to be as follows:
This invention relates to apparatus for transmitting pictures, sketches, etcetera,
through the medium of an electric current. Two instruments are employed, a
transmitting and a receiving instrument. The picture to be transmitted is drawn
with a suitable non-conducting liquid upon a conducting surface and is then so
placed in the transmitter that a needle or similar part carried by the transmitter
will travel across the lines of the picture. As the needle comes in contact with
the lines of the picture, the circuit is broken, and this breaking of the circuit
causes a mark to be made upon a paper carried by the receiving instrument.
The marks made upon the paper carried by the receiving instrument correspond
with that part of the line in the drawings (carried by the transmitting instru-
ment) which breaks the circuit. The breaking and making of the circuit is con-
tinued until the picture or drawing is entirely duplicated by the receiver.
In the drawings,
Figure 1 is an end elevation of the transmitter:
Figure 2 is a front elevation ;
Figure 3 is a plan view thereof;
Figure 4 is a sectional elevation through the frame work illustrating the con-
struction of the tripping mechanism of the transmitting instrument;
Figure 5 is a cross section through the transmitting cylinder;
Figure 6 is a side elevation of the receiving instrument;
Figure 7 is a cross vertical section through the frame work illustrating the
tripping mechanism of the receiving instrument;
Figure 8 is a view of the tripping lever of the receiving instrument detached;
Figure 9 is a view of the switch lever of the receiving instrument detached;
Figures 10 and 11 are views similar to Figures 8 and 9 of the tripping lever
and switch lever of the transmitting instrument; and
Figure 12 is a diagrammatic view of the two instruments illustrating the
electrical connections between them and the means for operating them.
In the drawings, A represents the transmitting and B the receiving instrument.
Carried by the receiving instrument is a roll C, one end of which has journal

page_text: support 3, and is coupled at its opposite end to the shaft 4 by the coupling dog 5.
The roll C is driven by a cord 6 running over a drum 7, the drum being opera-
tively connected with the roll C by the intermediate gearing 8. The cord 6 is
provided with weights (not shown) by means of which a constant revolving
power is applied to the shaft 4, except when held stationary by the tripping
mechanism hereinafter described. A suitable speed regulating fan 9 is provided.
The tripping mechanism by means of which the roll C is normally held station-
ary, consists of a lever 10 having fulcrum support 11 in the frame of the instru-
ment. The lower arm 12 of the lever 10 is adapted to normally fit in a notch 13
formed in a disc 14 secured upon the shaft 4, and the upper arm of the lever is
formed with a pawl 15 engaging with the escapement lever 16 mounted upon
the upper gear shaft 17. By this means when the lever 10 is in the position
shown in Figure 1, the escapement lever 16 will be locked and the gearings and
drum remain stationary. The lever 10 is also formed with a rearwardly extend-
ing arm 18 by which the lever may be turned to disengage it from the disc 14
and the escapement lever, to allow the roll C to be revolved by the operating
means. In order to hold the lever 10 in released position a spring catch 19 is
carried by the frame and is provided with a notch 20 to catch and hold the upper
end of the lever.
Attached to the side of the disc 14 and projecting beyond the rim thereof is
a small block 21. This block in the operation of the machine acts upon the
point 22 of the lever 23, fulcrummed preferably upon the pivot of the lever 10,
and being formed with an arm 24 extending downwardly between the pins 25
and 26, as shown in Figure 4. These pins are electrical contact pins, and form
with the lever 23, an electric switch as hereinafter explained.
The block 21 is formed with a notch 27, into which the point of the lever 23
drops as the roll C revolves, thus causing the arm 24 of the switch to be dis-
connected from the contact pin 25, to break the main line circuit, and permit
the receiving instrument to be actuated slightly in advance of the transmitting
instrument as hereinafter explained.
28 represents a screw shaft extending across the instrument parallel with the
roll C, and journalled by its end in the frame work, and provided with a crank 29,
by which it may be revolved by hand when required. Secured above and below
said screw rod and arranged parallel therewith, are the guide rods 30 and 31.
Slidably mounted upon these guide rods is a frame 1) provided with an arm 32,
said arm carrying upon its end a downwardly extending point 33 which rests
upon the roll C (as shown in Figure 1). The frame D is threaded upon the
screw rod 28, so that as the rod is revolved the frame will travel back and forth
along the guide rods to cause the point 33 to traverse the length of the roll C.
The end 34 of the screw rod, beyond the roll C is of an irregular shape (pre-
ferably square as shown) and has slidably mounted thereon a sleeve 35, carrying
a number of toothed discs 36, 37 and 38, and also carrying a grooved or channelled
hub 39, in which the upper arm of a shipper lever 40 works (as shown in
Figure 2). Said lever has fulcrum support 41 upon the frame of the instrument,
and the end of its lower arm 42 is adapted to be set into holes 43 in the base
of the frame. By this means the shipper lever may be set into position to hold
any desired one of the discs opposite an arm 44 of the disc 14 (as shown in
Figure 4).
The teeth of the discs are at equal distance apart, but vary in number, the
first disc (as shown in the drawings) having five teeth, the second seven, and
the third nine, although the number of teeth upon the discs, or the number of discs
may be varied as desired By this arrangement if the disc 36 be set by the shipper
lever so that it stand opposite to the arm 44, every time the disc 14 is revolved,
the arm 44 will strike one of the teeth of the disc, and revolve the same one fifth
of the revolution, and correspondingly revolve the screw rod 31, one fifth of a
revolution, and cause the frame D to move along the guide rods a short distance.
By this means the speed at which the point 33 traverses the roll O lengthwise

page_text: is determined and by using one of the other discs as the operating disc, it will
be evident that the speed will be increased.
In the receiving instrument the parts are practically the same.
In this instrument the roll C C, the screw rod 45, the laterally movable
frame D D, guide rods 46 and 47 adjustable speed controlling toothed discs 48,
49 and 50, and transcribing needle 51, are substantially the same as the corre-
sponding parts in the transmitting instrument.
The disc 52 corresponding with the discs 14 of the transmitting instrument,
has an arm 53 which acts upon the teeth of the discs for the same purpose and
in the same manner as the similar parts in the transmitter. The disc 52 also
has a block 54 adapted to actuate a switch lever 55, the downwardly projecting
arm of which lever works between contact points 56 and 57. This switch lever,
it will be seen, is practically the same in construction and works in the same
manner as the switch lever in the transmitter, the only difference being that the
block 54 is shorter than the block 21 so that the switch in the receiving instru-
ment will open the circuit for a shorter length of time than the switch in the
transmitter.
In the receiving instrument the lever 58 which corresponds with the lever 10
of the transmitter is formed with a hooked end 59 upon its downwardly extend-
ing arm, which fits in the notch 60, in the disc 52, the end of the upper arm of
said lever abutting against the escapement lever 61 (as shown in Figure 7) to
hold the parts in stationary position. The lever 58, instead of being actuated by
hand, as is the corresponding lever in the transmitter, is actuated by the electro
magnet 62, which works in connection with an armature 63, carried by the
lever 58. The motive power to revolve the roll C C of the receiving instrument
consists of a cord 64 running over drum 65, and connected with the roll C C
by suitable gearing 66 in the same manner as the corresponding parts of the
transmitter. The transcribing needle 51 of the receiver is adapted to be actuated
by an electro magnet 67 (as shown in Figure 6). The arm which carries the
transcribing needle has pivotal support 68, in the frame D D, and is provided
with a downwardly projecting armature 69, which is actuated by the electro
magnet 67, to bring the transcribing point into contact with the roll C C when
the magnet is energized.
The system of wiring is shown in Figure 12 in which E represents the
main line. The contact point 25 of the transmitter is connected with the main
line by the wire 70, and the opposite contact point 26 is connected by the wire 71
with the armature 72 of a relay F while the frame of the relay is connected
directly with the main line, as shown. The switch lever 23 of the transmitter
is connected with the ground by a wire 73 (constituting part of main line). The
frame D is electrically connected by a wire 74 with one pole of the battery G,
the other pole of the battery being connected by a wire 75 through the mag-
nets 76 of the relay, to the brush 77 in contact with the roll C.
In the receiving instrument, the wiring is as follows:-
The contact point 56 is in electrical connection with one pole of the bat-
tery GG by the wire 78 through the magnet 62, while the opposite point 57
is likewise connected to the same pole of the battery through the magnet 67
by wire 79. The switch lever 55 is in electrical connection with the armature 80
of the relay EE through the wire 81; the form of the relay being in electrical
connection with the opposite pole of the battery through the wire 82.
The ground wire 73 and the ground wire 83 are part of the main line circuit
so that it will be seen that the main current normally passes through the receiver
and main line and through the magnets of the relay FF but does not pass
through the relay of the transmitter or through the receiver. The carbon point
of the relay E F is in reversed position to the carbon point of the relay F. The
block 54 by keeping the downwardly extending arm of the switch lever 55, in con-
tact with the point 56 holds the main line closed, and the magnets 62 and 67
not energized.

page_text: The two instruments being thus arranged and connected the operation will
be as follows:-
The picture to be transmitted will be drawn upon an electric conductive plate
(preferably of copper) which is placed around the roll C and in constant contact
with the brush 77, the lines of the picture being composed of a non-conductive
material, such as dissolved shellac. A sheet of paper on which the picture is
to be transcribed is then wrapped around the roll of the receiving instrument
with a sheet of carbon paper beneath it.
The arm 18, of the transmitting instrument is then actuated to release the
lever 10 and allow the roll C to be revolved by the gearing. As the roll
revolves the point of the switch lever 23 drops into the notch of the block and
thus breaks the main line current and holds it broken for a moment to give the
current, which is thereby caused to pass through the relay F. F and its battery GG
an opportunity to energize the magnet 62 and 67 of the receiver to release the
trip 58, and permit motion to be imparted to the roll.
Then when the point of the switch lever drops from the block 13, the down-
wardly extending arm 24 of the lever will engage the point 26, and close the
circuit through the relay E to the main line. Thereafter as the point 33 runs
upon the electrically sensitive portions of the plate on the roll C on which the
picture is drawn, the circuit will remain closed through the magnets of the
relay FF and the current through magnet 67 will be broken, so that the
point 51, will be held up free from the upper sheet upon the roll of the receiving
instrument. When, however, the point, 33, passes over the non-conductive lines
of the picture, the circuit of the magnets of the relay F F will be broken
releasing the armature 80 and permit it to close the circuit through the magnet 67
and thus bring the point 51 into contact with the paper, printing a duplicate
of the width of the non-conductive line of the picture upon the paper by means
of the carbon transfer sheet. As the point 33 running upon the picture roll C,
successively strikes the lines of the picture in the revolution of the roll, the
point 51 will print a series of short lines corresponding to the lines of the pic-
ture at one point around the drum. As soon as the roll C has made one revolu-
tion the arm 44 strikes one of the teeth of the adjacent discs 36, 37 or 38, as
the case may be, and turns the screw rod, causing the frame to travel a short
distance upon the screw rod and carry the point 33 lengthwise along the roll C
the same distance. As the point 33 is carried lengthwise along the roll, the
point 51 is carried along the roll C C in the same manner by means of the
toothed discs, screw rod, etcetera, of the receiver. As the rolls continue to revolve,
the same alternating making and breaking of the current takes place, and another
line of points corresponding to the lines of the picture are printed on the receiving
sheet in the receiver and so on throughout the length of the roll until the whole
picture has been transcribed. It will be evident that the picture will be made
up of a series of short parallel marks.

I, ERNEST AUGUST HUMMEL, of 808, Ohio Street, St. Paul, in the County of
Ramsey, and State of Minnesota, United States of America, do hereby declare

page_text: 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 invention relates to apparatus for transmitting pictures, sketches, etcetera,
through the medium of an electric current. Two instruments are employed, a
transmitting and a receiving instrument. The picture to be transmitted is drawn
with a suitable non-conducting liquid upon a conducting surface and is then so
placed in the transmitter that a needle or similar part carried by the transmitter
will travel across the lines of the picture. As the needle comes in contact with
the lines of the picture, the circuit is broken and this breaking of the circuit
causes a mark to be made upon a paper carried by the receiving instrument.
The marks made upon the paper carried by the receiving instrument correspond
with that part of the line in the drawings (carried by the transmitting instru-
ment) which breaks the circuit. The breaking and making of the circuit is con-
tinued until the picture or drawing is entirely duplicated by the receiver.
In the drawings accompanying the Provisional Specification,
Figure 1 is an end elevation of the transmitter:
Figure 2 is a front elevation;
Figure 3 is a plan view thereof;
Figure 4 is a sectional elevation through the frame work illustrating the con-
struction of the tripping mechanism of the transmitting instrument;
Figure 5 is a cross section through the transmitting cylinder;
Figure 6 is a side elevation of the receiving instrument;
Figure 7 is a cross vertical section through the frame work illustrating the
tripping mechanism of the receiving instrument;
Figure 8 is a view of the tripping lever of the receiving instrument detached;
Figure 9 is a view of the switch lever of the receiving instrument detached;
Figures 10 and 11 are views similar to Figures 8 and 9 of the tripping lever
and switch lever of the transmitting instrument, and
Figure 12 is a diagrammatic view of the two instruments illustrating the
electrical connections between them and, the means for operating them.
In the drawings A represents the transmitting and B the receiving instrument.
Carried by the receiving instrument is a roll C, one end of which has journal
support 3, and is coupled at its opposite end to the shaft 4 by the coupling dog 5.
The roll C is driven by a cord 6 running over a drum 7, the drum being opera-
tively connected with the roll C by the intermediate gearing 8. The cord 6 is
provided with weights (not shown) by means of which a constant revolving
power is applied to the shaft 4, except when held stationary by the tripping
mechanism hereinafter described. A suitable speed regulating fan 9 is provided.
The tripping mechanism by means of which the roll C is normally held station-
ary, consists of a lever 10, having fulcrum support 11, in the frame of the instru-
ment. The lower arm 12 of the lever 10 is adapted to normally fit in a notch 13,
formed in a disc 14, secured upon the shaft 4, and the upper arm of the lever is
formed with a pawl 15, engaging with the escapement lever 16, mounted upon
the upper gear shaft 17. By this means when the lever 10 is in the position
shown in Figure 1, the escapement lever 16 will be locked and the gearings and
drum remain stationary. The lever 10 is also formed with a rearwardly extend-
ing arm 18, by which the lever may be turned to disengage it from the disc 14
and the escapement lever, to allow the roll C to be revolved by the operating
In order to hold the lever 10 in released position a spring catch 19 is
carried by the frame and is provided with a notch 20 to catch and hold the upper
end of the lever.
means.
Attached to the side of the disc 14, and projecting beyond the rim thereof is
a small block 21. This block in the operation of the machine acts upon the
point 22 of the lever 23, fulcrumed preferably upon the pivot of the lever 10,
and being formed with an arm 24, extending downwardly between the pins 25

page_text: and 26, as shown in Figure 4. These pins are electrical contact pins, and form
with the lever 23, an electric switch as hereinafter explained.
The block 21 is formed with a notch 27 into which the point of the lever 23
drops as the roll C revolves, thus causing the arm 24 of the switch to be dis-
connected from the contact pin 25, to break the main line circuit, and permit
the receiving instrument to be actuated slightly in advance of the transmitting
instrument as hereinafter explained.
28 represents a screw shaft extending across the instrument parallel with the
roll C, and journaled by its end in the frame work, and provided with a crank 29,
by which it may be revolved by hand when required. Secured above and below
said screw rod and arranged parallel therewith, are the guide rods 30 and 31.
Slidably mounted upon these guides rods is a frame D provided with an arm 32,
said arm carrying upon its end a downwardly extending point 33, which rests
upon the roll C (as shown in Figure 1). The frame D is threaded upon the
screw rod 28, so that as the rod is revolved the frame will travel back and forth
along the guide rods to cause the point 33 to traverse the length of the roll C.
The end 34 of the screw rod, beyond the roll C is of an irregular shape (pre-
ferably square as shown) and has slidably mounted thereon a sleeve 35, carrying
a number of toothed discs 36, 37 and 38, and also carrying a grooved or channelled
hub 39, in which the upper arm of a shipper lever 40 works (as shown in
Figure 2). Said lever has fulcrum support 41 upon the frame of the instrument,
and the end of its lower arm 42, is adapted to be set into holes 43 in the base
of the frame. By this means the shipper lever may be set into position to hold
any desired one of the discs opposite an arm 44 of the disc 14 (as shown in
Figure 4).
The teeth of the discs are at equal distance apart, but vary in number, the
first disc (as shown in the drawings) having five teeth, the second seven, and
the third 9, although the number of teeth upon the discs or the number of discs
may be varied as desired. By this arrangement if the disc 36 be set by the shipper
lever so that it stands opposite to the arm 44, every time the disc 14 is revolved,
the arm 44 will strike one of the teeth of the disc, and revolve the same one-fifth
of the revolution, and correspondingly revolve the screw rod 31, one fifth of a
revolution, and cause the frame D to move along the guide rods a short distance.
By this means the speed at which the point 33 traverses the roll C lengthwise
is determined and by using one of the other discs as the operating disc, it will
be evident that the speed will be increased.
In the receiving instrument the parts are practically the same.
In this instrument the roll CC, the screw rod 45, the laterally movable
frame DD, guide rods 46 and 47, adjustable speed controlling toothed discs 48,
49 and 50 and transcribing needle 51, are substantially the same as the corre-
sponding parts in the transmitting instrument.
The disc 52 coresponding with the discs 14 of the transmitting instrument,
has an arm 53, which acts upon the teeth of the discs for the same purpose and
in the same manner as the similar parts in the transmitter. The disc 52, also
has a block 54, adapted to actuate a switch lever 55, the downwardly projecting
arm of which lever works between contact points 56 and 57. This switch lever,
it will be seen, is practically the same in construction and works in the same
manner as the switch lever in the transmitter, the only difference being that the
block 54 is shorter than the block 21, so that the switch in the receiving instru-
ment will open the circuit for a shorter length of time than the switch in the
transmitter.
In the receiving instrument the lever 58, which corresponds with the lever 10
of the transmitter, is formed with a hooked end 59, upon its downwardly extend-
ing arm, which fits in the notch 60, in the disc 52, the end of the upper arm of
said lever abutting against the escapement lever 61 (as shown in Figure 7) to
hold the parts in stationary position. The lever 58 instead of being actuated by
hand, as is the corresponding lever in the transmitter, is actuated by the electro

page_text: magnet 62, which works in connection with an armature 63, carried by the
lever 58. The motive power to revolve the roll C C of the receiving instrument
consists of a cord 64, running over drum 65, and connected with the roll C C
by suitable gearing 66, in the same manner as the corresponding parts of the
transmitter. The transcribing needle 51, of the receiver is adapted to be actuated
by an electro magnet 67 (as shown in Figure 6). The arm which carries the
transcribing needle has pivotal support 68, in the frame D D, and is provided
with a downwardly projecting armature 69, which is actuated by the electro
magnet 67, to bring the transcribing point into contact with the roll C C when
the magnet is energized.
The system of wiring is shown in Figure 12, in which E, represents the
main line. The contact point 25 of the transmitter is connected with the main
line by the wire 70, and the opposite contact point 26 is connected by the wire 71,
with the armature 72 of a relay F, while the frame of the relay is connected
directly with the main line, as shown. The switch lever 23, of the transmitter
is connected with the ground by a wire 73, (constituting part of main line). The
frame D is electrically connected by a wire 74, with one pole of the battery G,
the other pole of the battery being connected by a wire 75, through the mag-
nets 76 of the relay, to the brush 77, in contact with the roll C.
In the receiving instrument, the wiring is as follows:
The contact point 56 is in electrical connection with one pole of the bat-
tery GG by the wire 78, through the magnet 62, while the opposite point 57,
is likewise connected to the same pole of the battery through the magnet 67,
by wire 79. The switch lever 55 is in electrical connection with the armature 80
of the relay E E, through the wire 81; the form of the relay being in electrical
connection with the opposite pole of the battery through the wire 82.
The ground wire 73 and the ground wire 83 are part of the main line circuit
so that it will be seen that the main current normally passes through the receiver
and main line and through the magnets of the relay FF, but does not pass
through the relay of the transmitter or through the receiver. The carbon point
of the relay F F is in reversed position to the carbon point of the relay F. The
block 54 by keeping the downwardly extending arm of the switch lever 55 in con-
tact with the point 56 holds the main line closed, and the magnets 62 and 67
not energized.
The two instruments being thus arranged and connected the operation will
be as follows: the picture to be transmitted will be drawn upon an electric
conductive plate (preferably of copper) which is placed around the roll C and in
constant contact with the brush 77, the lines of the picture being composed of a
non-conductive material, such as dissolved shellac. A sheet of paper on which
the picture is to be transcribed is then wrapped around the roll of the receiving
instrument with a sheet of carbon paper beneath it.
The arm 18, of the transmitting instrument is then actuated to release the
lever 10, and allow the roll C to be revolved by the gearing. As the roll
revolves, the point of the switch lever 23 drops into the notch of the block and
thus breaks the main line current and holds it broken for a moment to give the
current, which is thereby caused to pass through the relay F F and its battery GG
an opportunity to energize the magnet 62 and 67 of the receiver to release the
trip 58, and permit motion to be imparted to the roll.
Then when the point of the switch lever drops from the block 13, the down-
wardly extending arm 24 of the lever will engage the point 26, and close the
circuit through the relay E to the main line. Thereafter as the point 33 runs
upon the electrically sensitive portions of the plate on the roll C on which the
picture is drawn, the circuit will remain closed through the magnets of the
relay F F and the current through magnet 67 will be broken, so that the
point 51, will be held up free from the upper sheet upon the roll of the receiving
instrument. When, however, the point, 33, passes over the non-conductive lines
of the picture, the circuit of the magnets of the relay F F will be broken,

page_text: releasing the armature 80 and permit it to close the circuit through the magnet 67,
and thus bring the point 51 into contact with the paper, printing a duplicate of
the width of the non-conductive line of the picture upon the paper by means
of the carbon transfer sheet. As the point 33 running upon the picture roll C,
successively strikes the lines of the picture in the revolution of the roll the
point 51 will print a series of short lines corresponding to the lines of the pic-
ture at one point around the drum. As soon as the roll C has made one revolu-
tion the arm 44 strikes one of the teeth of the adjacent discs 36, 37 or 38, as
the case may be, and turns the screw rod, causing the frame to travel a short
distance upon the screw rod and carry the point 33 lengthwise along the roll C
the same distance. As the point 33 is carried lengthwise along the roll, the
point 51 is carried along the roll C C in the same manner by means of the
toothed discs, screw rod, etcetera, of the receiver. As the rolls continue to revolve,
the same alternating making and breaking of the current takes place, and another
line of points corresponding to the lines of the picture are printed on the receiving
sheet in the receiver and so on throughout the length of the roll until the whole
picture has been transcribed. It will be evident that the picture will be made
up of a series of short parallel marks.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said
invention and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what
I claim is:
1. An electrical transcribing apparatus of the class described consisting of

tery circuit of the receiving cylinder, the electro magnet for the stopping means
being first energized by the local circuit of receiver through the medium of a
make or break in main line circuit, and the magnet for the transcribing needle
being thereafter similarly energized, said make or break in main line circuit
being caused from the transmitting apparatus.
