I, FREDERICK TAYLOR of Windermere House. Stainforth Road, Walthamstow in
the County of Essex, Mechanical Draughtsman do hereby declare the nature of this
invention to be as follows:
My invention relates to a combined calendar and memorandum tablet which may
be of large size to be hung up in an office or elsewhere, or may be of small size
adapted for the pocket.
The front is a plate of ivory or other material on which memoranda can be written
in pencil to be rubbed out when desired. Through this front plate there are a number
of holes one for each day of the month arranged in seven horizontal rows, and
opposite each row is marked a day of the week. A sheet of paper or other flexible
material or fabric is marked with numerals from 1 to 31 arranged in columns, and
this sheet is attached at the top and the bottom to a roller which is mounted
behind the front plate and can be turned by a milled button at its end. Or
the sheet bearing the numerals may be more or less rigid and fitted io slide vertically
behind the front plate. When one knows which day of the week corresponds
with some one day of the month, he moves the sheet until it presents the said day
of the month through one of the holes in line with the said day of the week. He
can then see through the other holes all the days of the month that correspond with
the several days of the week throughout the month. On the margins of the front
plate and the spaces between its holes memoranda can be written, or advertisements
can be displayed.

COMPLETE SPECIFICATION.
Combined Calendar and Memorandum Tablet, also applicable for
Advertisements.
I, FREDERICK TAYLOR of Windermere House, Stainforth Road, Walthamstow in the
County of Essex, Mechanical Draughtsman 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 relates to a combined calendar and memorandum tablet which may
be of large size to be hung up in an office or elsewhere or may be of small size adapted
for the pocket.
The front is a plate of ivory or other material on which memoranda can be written
in pencil to be rubbed out when desired. Through this front plate there are a
number of holes one for each day of the month arranged in seven horizontal rows,
and opposite each row is marked a day of the week. A sheet of paper or other
flexible material or fabric is marked with numerals from 1 to 31 arranged in columns.
and this sheet is attached at the top and the bottom to a roller which is mounted
behind the front plate and can be turned by a milled button at its end. Or the sheet
bearing the numerals may be more or less rigid and fitted to slide vertically behind the
front plate. When one knows which day of the week corresponds with some one
day of the month, he moves the sheet until it presents the said day of the month
through one of the holes in line with the said day of the week. He can then see
through the other holes all the days of the month, that correspond with the several

page_text: days of the week throughout the month. On the margins of the front plate and the
spaces between its holes memoranda can be written, or advertisements can be
displayed.
Fig. of the accompanying drawings is a front view and Fig. 2 is a section of
a tablet according to my invention. Fig. 3 shews the back plate or card separately.
The front plate or card A has through it holes in 7 rows corresponding to the 7 days
of the week. The back plate or card B which can be slid vertically up or down
against the front plate A. has marked on it in spaces corresponding with the holes
in A. numerals up to 31 for the days of the month. Instead of using a sliding back
plate or card, a flexible sheet of paper or like material may be used as shown in
the front view Fig. 4. and vertical section Fig. 5 being wound on or off rollers D
when the position has to be altered.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of this inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what I
claim is:
A combined calendar and memorandum tablet also applicable for advertisements,
consisting in a plate card or sheet printed with numerals up to 31 moveable behind a
plate or card perforated with 7 rows of holes corresponding with the days of the
week, substantially as described.
