page_text: 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; -
This invention relates to a combined perpetual calendar and memorandum
tablet. In the centre of same is an opening and behind this opening is a move-
able tablet, hereinafter referred to as the sliding-tablet, having the seven days
of the week thereon (in abbreviated form) arranged seven times over in columns,
each column commencing with a different day, the other six days of the week
following under in proper order, and any one of the seven columns can be pre-
sented at will to the before-mentioned opening. To the right of the said opening
is a tablet with the thirty-one days of the month thereon arranged in five columns,
seven in a column (with the exception of the last column which has three dates
only) and the combination of these figures with any one column of days of the
week on the sliding-tablet that may be presented to the opening in the centre
forms a calendar for one month. At the rear of the sliding-tablet is a back-
board with slot and through this slot is passed a piece of metal or other sub-
stance which is attached to the sliding-tablet and by this means the sliding-tablet
is moved as required. To the left of the opening before referred to is a tablet for
writing upon. At the back of the combined perpetual calendar and memorandum
tablet is a screw by means of which the sliding-tablet is held firmly in position
thus preventing it from shifting accidentally.
Our invention will be clearly understood by reference to the drawings left with
the Provisional Specification.
Figure 1 is an elevation of the front.
Figure 2 is an elevation of the back, the dotted lines indicating the sliding-
tablet.
Figure 3 is an elevation of the back of sliding-tablet and Figure 4 a section of

Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of our said
invention and in what manner the same is to be performed we declare that what
we claim is:-
The construction of calendar & memorandum tablets with a sliding-tablet
having the days of the week thereon seven times and each in different orders thus
forming a perpetual calendar, the sliding-tablet being worked from the back as
and in the manner described and as represented in the drawings left with the
Provisional Specification.
