COMPLETE SPECIFICATION.
An Improved Recording Device for Photographic Exposures and.
the like.
I, EDWARD MOSELY L.D.S. of 314 Regent Street London in the County of
Middlesex 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 :-
The object of this invention is to provide a convenient & easily accessible means.
attachable to photographic apparatus for making notes regarding the exposure of
photographic plates films & the like or other objects. To effect this I provide a
shallow box or case either with or without a cover, to be attached to the apparatus..
The case to be constructed as to allow the material for bearing the record, which
material may be either in superimposed slips or in the form of a ribbon, which can.
be rolled or folded or both combined & may be either blank or ruled into spaces
for special notes as may be required,-to be easily adjusted & readily accessible
so that the whole or a portion of the material for bearing the record can be

In the accompanying drawings Fig. I & II is shown a method of carrying out.
my invention.

page_text: In Fig. I A is the shallow trough, box or case ready to receive the material
upon which the record is to be made b, bare lugs provided with holes for
attaching it by means of screws or nails to the apparatus. C is a lid or cover
binged at d, shown open, but can be kept normally closed by a spring located in d.
This is for the purpose of protecting the contents, it can be made of transparent
substances such as glass, mica, or celluloid when the record can be inspected
without the necessity of opening it.
In Fig. 11 is shown the tray A the lid C being dispensed with, e is a strip or
layer of the material ruled ready to receive the record suitable for use with a
photographic camera. It is held in its place by the sides, and by its tendancy to
remain flat, the ends being caught under the curved or channelled ends f.f
facilities for removel or fixing being provided by cutting away a portion of the
back, as shown at g. g, this enables it to be easily taken hold of, either for the
purpose springing it into or out of position.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said inven-
tion in what manner the same is to be performed I declare that what I
claim. is
A device for holding recording material suitable for attachment to photographic
apparatus substantially as described.
