           The machine can be operated either personally or electrically, but preferably electrically.



  The usual electric starter bar, used on machines of this type, has been omitted. In place of this bar, several actuation keys arranged in the three rows of control keys and in the row of totals keys are provided for the release of the machine for its operation. machine being started by lowering one of these keys. Details of these keys will be given later.



  Lowering any of the above-mentioned actuator keys submits a shaft 71 <B> of </B> locking of the keys (fig. 3 and 4) by the action of a spring (not shown) which causes the shaft to tilt slightly clockwise, in order to activate.

       enclosed clutch mechanisms which connect the drive motor to a main shaft 72 which journals in the side frames <B> -de </B> la niae1i.ine. The movement (the shaft 71 simultaneously activates a switch mechanism which closes the motor circuit and therefore starts the latter.



       The illustrated ilacliinc is capable of performing single-phase operations or single-phase operations. The main drive shaft 72 completes one full revolution in the closed saws clockwise during a half-phase operation and two full revolutions clockwise. <RTI

   ID = "0004.0035"> shows during two-phase operation. Lowering one of the control keys causes the machine to perform an operation at. mie phase, while the lowering of a touclic <B> (the </B> totals makes it. perform urn two-phase operation.

   This mechanism for controlling the cycles of the machine is well implemented. and it is therefore not necessary to describe this mechanism.



       When the machine has completed the required number of cycles, the shaft 7.1 moves eyelid. Saws reverse to that closed clockwise, so as to disengage the clutch mechanism and simultaneously open the circuit switch; of the electric motor.

   When the machine is operated by hand, through the use of a crank, the actuation keys are used to unlock the machine in exactly the same way as when the machine is electrically operated. Keyboard. A schematic view of the keyboard of the machine is shown in fig. 1.

   This figure shows that the left side of the keyboard is intersected by two separate groups of upright keys 77, polish allowing simultaneous entry of two different amounts, for example gross amount and net amount.

    The right side of the keypad has three rows 1, 2 and 3 of transaction keys 78, 79 and 80, as well as a totals control row @ comprising keys 81, 82, 83 and 84, a key 85 Correction and a touch <B> 86 </B> Single line. ! 1 To the right of the totals control row is an 87 Unlock key.



  The amount keys 77 are used for entering amounts to be added in the totalisers as well as for adjusting the type wheels for printing these amounts. The control keys 78, 79 and 80 are used to control means for choosing the desired totalizer, in which the amounts are to be added, as well as for polishing controlling the column of the ledger folio in which the bearing wheels. characters must print inscriptions.

   The totalLx keys 81, 82, 83 and 84 are used to control the machine to remove closed totals and sub-totals from the totals chosen by keys 78, 79 and 80. The 85 Correction key controls the means used to empty a totalizer of addition and subtraction by the method of addition of complementary amounts.

   This causes the. end rotation arm 107 and c111 arm <B> 108 </B> in selfs opposite to that of clockwise, in order to free the projection 111 <B> of </B> the shoulder 112, so as to interrupt the clockwise movement of the mechanism 101 and to put this mechanism in a position corresponding to the lowered upright key 77.

   The release of the latch 109 alcene a rounded extension 722 of the latter in engagement with the corresponding notch of the hilum series of key notches location 123 provided in a plate 124 fixed between the rod 104 and an upward extension key the left support plate 1.03. When the latch 109 is

  disengaged from the shoulder 112 of the segment 113, this segment continues to move clockwise without interruption, bringing about an arcuate surface <B> 125 </B> of this segment, in cooperation with the lower part of the projection 111, to block the extension 122 of the latch <B> 1.09 </B> in a notch 123 corresponding to the lowered uprights key. When <B> the </B> lever 115 and segment 113 reach the end of their initial clockwise movements,

   a roller 126 carried by the lever 11.5 engages an arcuate surface 127 of the lower part of a lever <B> 128 </B> which pivots at 130 on the operating mechanism 101 and brings an arcuate surface of the upper edge of this lever into contact with the hub of the mechanism 101, so as to move the lever 128 'in a correct position - laying at the lowered uprights key 77.

    The lever 7.28 has a slot 131, in which is engaged a pin 132 of a connecting rod 1.33, the upper end of which is connected by articulation to a positioning indicator segment 1.34 mounted on a tube of a 13.5 key tube series. supported by a shaft 136 which pivots in the side frames key to the machine.

The segment 137 carries a stud 139 which engages a slot serving as a water provided in a zero elimination plate 140, pivoting on a stud 141 of a toothed segment 142 mounted freely; on a shaft 143 which pivots in the side frames of the machine.

   The teeth of the toothed segment 142 mesh with the outer teeth of a pinion 144 with outer and inner teeth, the inner teeth of this pinion 144 meshing with a pinion 1.45 which drives a square shaft 146.

   In turn,]; square shaft 146 drives pinions similar to pinion 1.45, which mesh with the inner teeth of pinions similar to pinion 144, the outer teeth of pinions similar to pinion 144 being;

   arranged to mesh with the corresponding type wheels key each row of the column printing mechanism, which column printing mechanism is used, in this case, to produce prints on the folio here <B> of </B> ledger inserted into the machine, the various entries relating to each customer account being printed in the different columns of the customer account spaces.



  The method of driving the type wheels of column printing accounting machines is explained in detail in Swiss Patent No. 1.89986. To properly align the differential mechanism and the character wheels, each has been provided. of the segments 134 a series of notches 147, engaged with a liner 148 attached to a shaft 1.49.



       The liner 148 is released from the notches 7.47 during the differential adjustment <B> of </B> the position of the character wheels. When these wheels have been brought into place under <B> the </B> control of the keys of the differential mechanism, the aligner 148 is brought into engagement with the notches 1.47, so as to positively align the character wheels.



       1-I n the above mentioned zero elimination mechanism, which is used to control the printing of key zeros and which is controlled by the above mentioned zero elimination plate 140, is not directly part of the invention, so that it will not be described further, uni such type of mechanism being illustrated and described in Swiss patent N 189986 cited above.

             Totalizers. The machine has two rows of well known addition totalisers, located on the back row ott N "2 and, on the front row, or N" 3.

   In addition, the machine comprises on the line of totalizers N 1, which is known here under the name <B> (the </B> Top line, a tota.li- sateui, addition and <B> of </B> subtraction.

  The remaining transaction keys 78 are all located in <B> the </B> row 1 el; bear the inscriptions Eject, Release-proof, Present, Request, Previous and Credit.



  The eject key 78 is a machine release key, which controls the means for ejecting a form from the machine, on which the form is printed the same data as that shown on the ledger folio.



  The 78 Unblock-proof key is used when an error has been made, to start the machine by another transaction key. Thus, by recording; consumption of electricity, the operator takes from a report already collected the current cubage indicated on the meter, the previous cubage and the quantity of electricity consumed, which quantity constitutes the difference between the cubage readings mentioned above.

   Consider, for example, the Paul Blanc customer account indicated on the ledger folio of FIG. 16. The operator places the current reading of the cubage on the left group of upright keys 7 7, which in this case is <B> 99.078, </B> and press down key 78 Present, which key selects the plus side of the addition and subtraction totalizer of the totalizer line N ', 1, in which the aforesaid amount is to be added. At the same time,

   the operator chooses the vertical column with the heading Reading Counted Now from the ledger folio, in which this amount is to be printed. Next, the operator places, on the left group of upright keys 77, the previous counter reading of 99,000 and lowers the 78 Previous key, which key selects the minus side of the addition and subtraction totalizer on to which this amount must be added.

   At the same time, the operator chooses the vertical column with the heading Previous counter reading in which the amount of 99,000 is to be printed.



  As the wheels on the plus side of the addition and subtraction totalizer lie. normally at 00000, while the wheels on the minus side are at 99999, it is obvious that the previous amount;

       dc <B> 99,000 </B> it entered in the addition and subtraction totalizer will be subtracted from the present amount of <B> 99.078, </B> so that we get -He remains 78 out of <B> the </B> plus side (read addition and subtraction totalizer, the latter number constituting the exact quantity of electricity consumed.



  The operator should now. bring to the left group of upright keys 77 the amount of 78, but it will be assumed, by way of illustration, that the operator incorrectly puts the amount 68 on the keys and lowers the key 80 called Colisoilimation residence.

   This causes amount 68 to be subtracted from the addition and subtraction totalizer, so that the latter is no longer zero, but 1.0 on its plus side.

   The operator does not realize the error made and therefore tries to print the gross and net amounts of 3.36 and 3.20, lowering the 79 Residence - gross-net key. By operating in this way, he notes that the key 79 mentioned last binds not unlock the machine because <B> the </B> addition and subtraction totalizer is not. not at zero eyelash because of the error com set during the last transaction.

       The operator then removes by hand <B> the </B> ledger folio <B> (the </B> 1a. machine and, compare the amount previously printed on this folio with the correct amount. He thus notices the error eoil) lllise.

The two key positions indicated in row 1 by circles in dotted Auto. pos. 22-27 and Auto.

       pos. 21 identify the positions in which the differential mechanism associated with this row of keys is adjusted by certain keys 79 and 80 of rows 2 and 3.



  It is obvious that the inscriptions on the keys <B> of </B> transactions 78, 79 and 80 are only illustrative. Many commercial firms wish to adopt other systems and the markings on them can be changed to suit the particular system for which the machine is to be used.



  The differential mechanisms associated with the three rows 1, 2 and 3 of transaction keys 78, 79 and 80 are substantially the same, so that it will suffice to describe below the row of keys 78 and the differential mechanism y. associate. As this differential mechanism is similar to the differential mechanism <B> (the </B> amounts described above, you will only need some. give a brief description.

    As specified above, keys 78 control the differential transaction mechanism, which selects; the totalizers corresponding to the keys and which puts the character wheels in positions allowing them to initiate winboles corresponding to the keys.

   This particular differential mechanism also controls the mechanism for choosing one or more of the vertical columns to be printed. <B> of </B> the ledger sheet. The differential mechanism associated with row 1, which is controlled by keys 78 and by some of keys 79 and 80 in rows 2 and 3, is shown in fig. 3 and will be briefly described.



  The drive shaft 72 carries a pair of cams 1.70 for actuating a lever 7.71. connected by a connecting rod 1.72 to the usual drive segment. 1.73. <B> binds </B> dragging scgmelit 173 and other parts of the differential mechanism are supported by a rod 174.



  Clockwise movement of drive segment 173, through a latch 175 carried by an adjustable differential arm 176 supported by rod 1.74, rotates the arm <B> 1.76 </B> clockwise until the anterior end of the latch 175 contacts the one of the towers 78 which is lowered. At this time, the lo quet is separated from the drive segment,

   cal so that the arm 176 can remain in the position to which it was brought under the control of the down key 78.



  The differential arm 1_76 carries a minimum movement device 1.77 connected to a connecting rod 178 attached to an arm 179 freely mounted on the shaft 138 journalling in the side frames. of the machine. A connecting rod 181 connects the arm 179 to a segment 1.82 attached to the shaft 143 carried by the side frames of the machine.

   The segment, 182 brings, by means not shown, a character-carrying wheel <B> 1 </B> Eres to be printed closed symbols on a folio of a ledger, in a known manner.

       Under certain circumstances it is necessary to control this differential mechanism (fig. 13) which, it will be remembered, is. associated with the. row 1 medium art of some (the Î J and. 80 keys of rows 2 and: 3.



  the row <B> (the </B> keys (transaction 78 is broken up in fig. 3 to show some of the keys (the, transactions 80 <B> (the </B> row Ô.

         The breaking made in FIG. 3 is done along line 3-3 <B> of </B> fig. 2 looking in the direction of the 1st. The control of the differential mechanic associated with the keys 78 of row 1 by the ladles of the other rows is well known, and only a brief description will be given.



       With the keys (transaction 79 of row 2 is associated with a lever 79.5 (fig. 2 and 3), which pivots on the rod: 17-1-. The lever 195 carries I (Itisieuis stop ears 196, a for eha- (#Itme (the keys 79.

   If one (the keys <B> 79 </B> has been lowered, the appropriate ear 196 will come. Remove the pin \ d04 mounted on the side of the down key and thus stop the movement, in the closed clockwise direction of the lever <B> 195. </B>



  The lever 195 is connected by a connecting rod 205 to a support arm 207 mounted freely on a rod 208 supported by the suspension plates. The support \ _. '07 has another arm 209 which is able to cooperate with an ear \ d10 of a plate 21.1. integral with the arm 186.

   Moving in <B> the </B> clockwise chi lever 1.95i will communicate, through the connecting rod 205 and the support 207, a corresponding clockwise movement of a mount: .re to the arm 209, in order to place the free end of the latter on the path of the ear 21.0.

   Thus, when the adjustable cliff arm 176 is moved, together with the arm 186, clockwise by the segment <B> 1.73 </B> and when no key 78 is lowered, but one of the keys 79 is, the lug 210 comes into contact with the free end of the arm 209. so that the displacement,

When the tree 71_ <B> of </B> key lock is returned to its original position, towards the end of the machine's operation, the stud 198 will cooperate. with the arm 197 to return the lever 195 and the parts associated therewith to their Normal positions.



  The 80 keys, called Divers-gross-net and Guar. row 3 key gross-net, also controls the clearance of the differential pawl associated with row 1 in the eighth position. Key 80, called Maintenance repair - gross-net key row 3 controls the pawl: of row 1, so that it is released in the seventh position.

   The dice:; -agetli.elit says click in one or the other <B> do </B> these two different positions brings the selec- tioli to the plus side of the addition and subtraction totalizer <B> (the </B> the row of totalisers N 1. The means by which the above mentioned keys perform this function will now be described.



  With row 3 of transaction keys 80 is associated Lin lever <B> 217 </B> (fig. 2), which is similar and functions in the same way due to the aforementioned lever 195. The lever 217 is freely mounted on the rod 174 and has a similar link to the arm 197, which arm is influenced by the operation of the key lock shaft 71 in the same way as the arm 197. The lever 217 is connected by a connecting rod 218 to an arm 219 of a support 220 mounted freely on the rod 208.

   The support 220 has another arm 221 which carries, in the vicinity of its free end, a stop 222 capable of being brought into the path of an ear 223 or an ear 224 of a plate 225 secured to the arm 186. When the stop 222 is brought on the path of the ear 223, it cooperates with the latter to stop the clockwise movement of the differential arm 186 in its eighth position On the other hand, if the stop 222 is placed so as to cooperate with the ear 224, it stops the differential arm 186 in its seventh position.



  The arm 221 is communicated with a long displacement to bring the stop 222 into engagement with the lug 223 and a short displacement to bring it into engagement with the lug 224. This is obtained by giving a variable spacing to the cleats. stop 214 and 215 on lever 217.

   The distance between the cleats 214 and the studs on the keys 80 Miscellaneous - gross-net and Guai. adjust. - gross-net of row 3 is such that the lever 217 can oscillate sufficiently clockwise to cause a long displacement of the arm 221. and to cause the stop 22 \ 3 to properly place the aforementioned arm with respect to the ear 223. On the other hand, the distance between the ear 215 and the stud <B> of </B> the 80 key 77maintenance repair - hrtit-iiet.

       row 3 is reduced so as to limit the movement in the closed clockwise direction of the lever 21.7, so as not to cause a small movement of the arm 221 and of the stop 222, so that this demnicre is placed appropriately with respect to the ear 224.



  If one of the six upper transaction keys 80 key row 3 (which are consumption keys) is lowered, the differential mechanism associated with keys 78 of row 1 is released to its position. zero to choose the minus side of the addition and subtraction totalizer for its operation. How this result is achieved will now be described.



  The lever 217 has no key stop cleats intended to cooperate with the studs <B> 226 </B> carried by the six upper consumption keys 80. Consequently, when one of these keys is lowered, the lever 217 is not thwarted and undergoes a full clockwise movement allowed. by the stud 216. The arms <B> 209 </B> and 221 are therefore moved in the closed direction clockwise beyond the travel paths of the ears 210, 223 and 224.

   This causes the means normally maintaining the zero stop pawl 184 in the ineffective position, to release this pawl. <B> of </B> so as to enable him to lock the differential arm 176 of the first row of keys 78 keys in its zero position. The specific means of checking the operation of the stop pawl at zero will now be described.

  The movement of the lever 237 from the out of service position to the service position shown in phantom in fig. 12 places a notch 244 (fig. 12) of the periphery of the disc 238 opposite an alignment pin 245 carried by an arm of a lever 246, which pivots on a pin 247 of the frame 1 <it.eral of the machine.

   When this occurs, a spring 248 oscillates the lever 246 in a clockwise direction so as to bring the lug 245 into engagement with the notch 244 and thereby retain the disc 238 and the lever 237 in position <B> of </B> service until they are; manually reset 1. 1 <i Iiosi- tion out of service.

This arm 254 normally cooperates with a flat sided stud 256 mounted on a release lever 267 attached to the shaft 71., and the operation of the lever 267 is well known. As the arm 254 cooperates with the stud 256, a locking device is produced which prevents the clockwise movement of the shaft 71,

   which movement is necessary to unlock the eyelash machine seen from its operation. It will be seen from the above that the cil movement in the opposite direction to that (the needles of a watch communicated to the shaft 251 will cause the arm 254 to oscillate by means of the arm 252 and the rod 253, so as to release said arm 254 of the pin 256 and thus unlock the maclihie.



  When the lever 237 is brought into its service position, it drives, through the internally and externally toothed wheel drive mechanism mentioned above, the toothed wheel 240 in the opposite direction. <B> of </B> the clockwise one (see fig. 1.2).

   When this occurs, a camming surface 257, which forms part of the periphery of the toothed wheel 240, cooperates with a roller 258 carried by an arm 259 attached to a shaft 260, so as to oscillate the arm and the aforementioned shaft counterclockwise. The shaft 260 rotates in a pair of brackets 261. (Figs. 12 and 17) attached to the base plate 61.

   On the shaft 260 Are pivotally mounted. two support elements 262, each of which carries two pressure rollers 241 .. Each element 262 is. connected by a spring;

      <B> (the </B> twist 263 (ig. 7, -1 <B> and </B> 17) to. Lin liras 264 integral with shaft 260. the rollers 241 are normally separated from the front rollers 242 by projections 265 of the arms 26-1 cooperating with the lower sides of the studs 26 (i carried by the support elements.

    262. When the shaft 260 oscillates: eyelash in a di verse clockwise direction, the protrusions 265 of the arms \ 364 are away from the studs 266, so that the <B> of </B> torsion \ 363 can oscillate elements 262 counterclockwise so as to bring rollers 241 into engagement with rollers 242.



  Likewise, when the lever 237 is brought to the position of. service, the stops 243 of the registration form (tig. 1.2 and 1.7) are far from the path <B> (the </B> this form. The stops 243 are formed at the ends of the levers 276 pivoting on a shaft 277 which rotates within the frames of the printing device.

   The appropriate means of obtaining this result will be described in advance.



  To the shaft 260 (ris. 12) is fixed a lever 278 normally biased in the direction of clockwise by a spring 279, one end of which is fixed to said lever, while its other end is mixed with one, arm 280 integral with the shaft 277. The lever <B> 278 </B> has a slot 281. serving as a carne, which slot cooperates with a roller 282 carried by <B> the </B> arm 280.

   A spring 283 constantly tends to hold the lever <B> 276 </B> tic fa (; on that the stop 2-13 <B> (the </B> this lever is in the required position to block the imlires- S1011 forms.

      When it is desired to move the folio of ledger 350 towards the front of the machine (to the left when looking at fig. 7, J and 1 \ _ '), the operator moves the manually operated lever. 354 to the left, thus oscillating the arm 368, the shaft <B> 369 </B> and the arm 370 in <B> the </B> clockwise.

   Through the link 37l., The arm 370 does; swing the arm 37'2 counterclockwise.

   The protrusion 379 (Fig. 8) of the arm 381 then resiliently prevents the pin 378 from moving counterclockwise and brings the pawl 375 into engagement with another spacer ratchet wheel. 410 attached to shaft 373, in a manner which will be described later.

This automatic advancement of the folio <B> of </B> large book small vary, in <B> the </B> this case, <B> of </B> Three-line ufic, following the line in the previous customer account space, from which the general ledger folio is to be advanced. The device making it possible to obtain this result will now be described.



  To a hub 404 (Fig. 6) is attached a ratchet wheel 411. The hub 404 also carries a collar 405, and a key is engaged in the collar 405 and the hub 404 to secure the wheel to the hub. ratchet to tree 373.

   Each cutredent of the ratchet wheel 411. is equivalent to three entredents of the ratchet wheels; cl'csl? acciiient 335 and 470. The ratchet wheel 41.1 is capable of moving one entredent in a clockwise direction during the operation of the machine, so that, through the intermediary of the 'tree <B> 373 </B> and feed roller 242, ledger folio 350 is moved through the machine by a space corresponding to three lines,

      i.e. the number of lines contained in each customer account space, In <B> the </B> case where the ledger folio 350 has previously been moved a space corresponding to one or two print lines by the manually operated device described above, the ratchet wheel 411, which is attached to shaft 373, will also have undergone a clockwise displacement to the same extent as the ratchet wheel 385. As a result, when the ratchet wheel.

         .I-11 is automatically moved clockwise so as to bring ledger folio 350 to the first print line of the next customer account space, clockwise movement of a watch thus communicated to the ratchet wheel 411 will be limited so as to com think the clockwise movement previously communicated to the ratchet wheel 411 by the manually controlled advance device.

   Such limited clockwise movement of ratchet wheel 411 is, however, sufficient to advance ledger folio 350 by the number of lines necessary to complete the normal advance, which is self-advancing. matically communicated to the folio of gTa.ilcl livre, to bring the first line of the following customer account space opposite the character wheels. The automatic actuator of the ratchet wheel 411 will now be described.



  On the shaft 373 (fig. 9) is freely mounted an arm 412 carrying a spindle 413. On the spindle 41.3 are pivotally mounted an advancing pawl 414 and an arm 415, attached to each other. so as to form a single assembly, the arm 415 bearing. a 41.6 pin normally engaged with a .117 notch of a. arm 4l_8 pivoting on hub 404.



  A spring 419 (fig. 9) normally maintains the lower part of the arm 418 against the rod 384. When the arm 412 is in its rest position, the advancement pawl 414 is held unchecked with the caster wheel. 41.1.

   However, when the ledger folio <B> 350 </B> must be advanced automatically, the arm 412 is moved in the closed direction clockwise by means which will be; described below, after which the arm 418 will elastically prevent the spindle 416 <B> of </B> move in the direction of clockwise, so that the elicluet 414 is brought to the eyelash taken with the ratchet wheel 411.

         As the arm 412 continues its movement in the direction of clockwise, it rotates, by means of the pawl 414, the ratchet wheel 41.1 by a cntredent and as much <the inputs that are needed to bring the first line of customer account space cover into the print position.

   This device comprises three control disks 457, 458 and 459 (fig. 6 and 9) carried by a shaft 460. The peripheries of the aforementioned disks have notches capable of cooperating with feeler members 461, 462, 463 and 464. The members feelers 461 and 462 cooperate with the disc 457, while the feelers 463 and 464 cooperate with the discs 458 and 459 respectively.

   The feelers 461 and 462 are connected to each other and are arranged opposite each other, while being pivotally mounted on a spindle 465 of an arm of a freely mounted lever 466 on a shaft 467. The feeler members 463 and 464 are arranged parallel to the feeler members 461 and 462 and are also pivotally mounted on the spindle 465. The feeler members 461, 462, 463 and 464 are articulated relative to each other. to the other so as to form one. together. The other end of lever 466 is; connected by a link 468 to the link 424 described above.

   Lever 466 is connected by a res out 469 to an arm 470 attached to shaft 467. As soon as disks 457, 458, and 459 are adjusted under the control of their respective rows of keys, shaft 467 and arm 470 are animated by a movement in the opposite direction to that of the needles of hil m.olitre by 111 m (well known a-iiisin.



       If disc 457 is adjusted so that its notched soot portion engages feeler 462, spring 469 will move lever 466 along with <B> the </B> arm 470 and will release, via the link 468, the notch of the link 424 from the pin 422.

   Therefore, when the cams 428 and 429 cause the elbow lever 425 to oscillate first in the choke (clockwise and then counterclockwise to bring it back to the normal position , the connecting rod 424 will be driven by a movement <B> of </B> back and forth without communicating an automatic forward movement to. the ratchet wheel 41.1 and the advancement rollers; 242.

   If one or more (the feeler members 461, 463 or 164 encounter parts linked with no notches of the discs 457, 458 and if the feeler member 46 \ 3 meets in meiac time the aforementioned pal-tic of the disc 457, the result will remain the same as that described above.



  However, if the feeler member 462, in combination with one or more of the feeler members 467, 463 and 464, encounters parts which do not have notches of the respective disks, any movement in the opposite direction to that of the needles of A watch of the lever 466 will be locked and the shaft 467, as well as the arm 470, will move independently of the lever, imparting bending to the res out 469. Accordingly, the notch of the.
