PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
Improved Apparatus for Holding and Displaying Cards, Tickets, and
the like on the Sides of Carts and other Vehicles and Places.
I, LUKE AKEROYD PYRAH, of 4 Milnes Terrace, Wellington Road, Leeds, in
the County of York, Coal Merchant, do hereby declare the nature of this invention
to be as follows --
My improvements relate to indicators or show-cases for displaying numerals and
other signs, such improvements being particularly applicable to that kind of display
cases known as "cart tare indicators."
According to my invention I make the indicator of a shallow box-shaped form,
having a front to same, hinged at one side and fitted with a suitable fastening
at the other side. The interior of the box I divide into three or any other
suitable number of parts, having raised flanges separating the said parts one from
the other. Apertures are made in the hinged front opposite each space in the
interior of the indicator, and above these apertures are marked the qualities of the
numerals or other signs to be displayed. Cards or plates carrying the numerals
are placed in the divided parts of the indicator, and as all the divided parts and
cards or plates are of a similar size, such cards or plates are interchangeable, and
thus to display numerous weights, numbers, or other signs, a small quantity only of
cards or plates is required.
It will be readily seen that when applied as a "cart tare indicator," where
the amount of the weight required to be displayed is to be shewn in tons, cwts.,
and qrs., apparatus constructed according to my invention will be of great service,
as it occupies very little space and is easily manipulated, at the same time it fits
close to the body of the vehicle and is not likely to be damaged or broken off.

COMPLETE SPECIFICATION.
Improved Apparatus for Holding and Displaying Cards, Tickets, and
the like on the Sides of Carts and other Vehicles and Places.
I, LUKE AKEROYD PYRAH, of 4 Milnes Terrace, Wellington Road, Leeds, in
the County of York, Coal Merchant, 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 improvements relate to indicators or show-cases for displaying numerals and
other signs, such improvements being particularly applicable to that kind of display
cases known as cart tare indicators."
«
In order that my invention may be clearly understood, I will proceed to describe
same with reference to the accompanying drawings, in which similar letters refer to
like parts in all the figures.
Fig. 1 shews a cart tare indicator constructed according to my invention, and
having the front open.
Fig. 2 shews a similar view with the front closed, and
Fig. 3 shows a sectional plan of same.
According to iny invention I make the indicator of a shallow box-shaped form,
having a front A hinged to the indicator at G, and being fitted with a suitable
D

page_text: I divide the interior of the indicator into three or any other suitable number of
parts, having raised flanges C separating the said parts one from the other.
Apertures D are made in the hinged front A opposite cach space in the interior
of the indicator, and above the apertures D on the hinged front A. are marked
the qualities of the numerals or other signs to be displayed. Cards or plates E
carrying the numerals are placed in the spaces between the flanges C, and as all
the divided spaces and cards or plates are of a similar size, such cards or plates E
are interchangeable, and thus to display numerous weights, numbers, or other
signs, a small quantity only of cards or plates is required.
It will be readily seen that when applied as a "cart tare indicator," where the
amount of the weight required to be displayed is to be shewn in tons, hundred-
weights, and quarters, apparatus constructed according to my invention will be
of great service, as it occupies very little space and is easily manipulated, whilst
at the same time it fits close to the body of the vehicle and is not likely to be
damaged or broken off.
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 I
claim is :
1. In indicators for displaying numerals and other signs, a shallow box having
divisions therein of equal size for receiving cards or plates carrying the numerals
or other signs, which cards or plates are interchangeable, all substantially as and
for purposes herein set forth.
2. The arrangement, construction, and combination of the various parts forming
the indicator, substantially as herein set forth and shewn in the accompanying
drawing.
Dated this 15th day of October 1892.
