Arrangements are known in which punch cards under the control of a different type of recording medium, ζ. Β. a perforated tape.

The invention relates to an arrangement in which punch cards are sensed under control of point symbols on a film tape or, conversely, a film tape with point symbols below Control of the perforations of a punch card. There are two sets of Sensing and registering organs provided, of which the first set of sensing or perforation

of punch cards and the second set of the optical sensing of point symbols on films or is used for the photographic labeling of films. Optionally, the sensing organs of one Set to control the registrations of the other set.

When indicated by dot symbols in film fields in hole type on counting cards are to be transmitted, then the metering point locations receiving the point symbols will be of the film is gradually guided past optical sensing elements and the counting point

place the counting cards to be punched on the punch. Every time a dot symbol of the Film is optically sensed, a pulse is generated that actuates a punch selects.

If, conversely, the values of punch cards in point symbols of a light-sensitive Films are to be implemented, then the same synchronous movement of card and film ίο from metering point to metering point each time Sensing of a card hole a light pulse to the corresponding counting point location in sent to a section of the film, which creates a dot symbol on the film at this point will.

Since sensing and registration are provided for each recording medium, it can be done in a simple manner Show the correctness of the transmission from an already marked recording medium the other, previously empty recording medium can be checked in the same machine. It requires only the simultaneous operation of comparison devices in the two sensing arrangements, which then determine equality or inequality.

Checking the correctness of the card punchings, which is controlled by point symbols of a film can be made by sending the punch card through only once the machine is done by after each time the punching of a card is completed in an immediately subsequent machine game the comparison is made, including the sensing result of the film marks is stored in a memory device so that it can be used for the Comparison with the card holes in the next machine game is available.

Since the registration of point symbols on a photographic film is usually an the exposure requires a development process to be followed, so must for the verification of the point symbols of a film generated under punch card control, usually the film twice run through the machine.

The way in which the information is transferred from one recording medium to another, Empty carriers can be done in such a way that one of the information carriers is provided with a special information which is a rule for the number of each of a punch card or a film section specifies the duplicates to be produced. In this case, too, the information to be transmitted a punch card or a film section under the control of the sensing elements of the machine stored in a setting mechanism, and it becomes the storage mechanism for exercising control effects for successive, matching value transfers according to the the information carrier itself containing information about the number of images to be produced used.

The invention is illustrated using an exemplary embodiment in the drawings.

The machine has a container M , which is intended to receive punch cards, the holes of which are to be reproduced as dot symbols on a film, or blank cards on which dot symbols of a film are to be reproduced in hole writing. The cards can be individually advanced from the container M in the usual manner in punched card machines through a pick-off knife 48 seated on a slide 47 driven by a power arm 46 and then moved by means of transport rollers 80 to 83 through the sensing section of the machine past the sensing brushes 116. A card registration device is provided between the transport roller pairs 80, 81 and 82, 83, which, as shown in the drawing, consists of a series of punching punches 65 which are actuated by punching magnets 66. Auxiliary sensing elements 112 for the cards are upstream of the punches 65. The scanned, controlling punch cards or blank cards provided with holes by the punching mechanism are fed to a storage container N by a card guide drum 120 and transport rollers 122, 123.

The photographic film 180 (control film covered with dot symbols or under punch card control light-sensitive blank film provided by exposure with point symbols u) withdrawn from a supply roll 200 by driven pin wheels 213 and and the registration section of the machine is fed through to a take-up reel 201. The feeling and the registration section of the machine has two sensing points for the optical sensing of the Point symbol locations of the film. The main sensing point includes light sources 175, upstream of them Quartz rods 177, 182 as radiation guides and light cells 183; to the auxiliary sensing point

include a light source 186, quartz rods 188, 189 and light cells 190.

When the counting points of a card removed from the storage container M and the point symbol points of a film field on the sensing organs pass synchronously, the sensing of a card hole 53 causes a light source 175 to be switched on and a point symbol 181 to be produced on the film by exposing the point on the film which is the hole point of the Card corresponds; Likewise, the optical sensing of a point symbol on the film with the light sources 175 switched on results in the excitation of an associated light cell, which makes a punch effective in the perforation system, so that a perforation corresponding to the point symbol on the film is made in a blank card.

Post card transport

The card transport is controlled by a card transport magnet 20. The drive for transport is supplied by a motor 21 (Fig. 12 a), which in a suitable manner is mounted in the machine and drives a pulley 23 through a belt 22. At the Pulley 23 sits a pawl 25, which engages in a ratchet wheel 26, which is fixed on a shaft 24 is placed so that when the engine is running 21 the shaft 24 rotates continuously.

On the shaft 24 there is also a gear 27, which is driven by intermediate gears 30 and 31, both of which are firmly placed on a shaft 32, a gear 28 drives which meshes with a gear 29 stands. The gear 29 is firmly seated on a shaft 33, so that the shafts 32 and 33 as well how the shaft 24 rotate continuously as long as the motor 21 is in operation. On gear 28 is firmly seated a switching element 35 with a tooth, both the gear 28 and the switching element 35 are rotatably placed on a support shaft 34 to which a switching arm 36 is also attached. On the arm 36 sits a spring-loaded pawl 37, which is supported by a magnet armature 38 for is usually held out of engagement with the switching element 35. The magnet anchor itself is that the card transport monitoring magnets 20 assigned. From the above it can be seen that when the magnet 20 is excited, the armature 38 is adjusted so far that it is out of the Trajectory of both the pawl 37 and the arm 36 is disengaged so that the pawl the able to detect a tooth of the switching element 35, whereby the shaft 34 to the continuously rotating Gear 28 is coupled so that the shaft 34 takes part in the rotary movement as long as the magnet 20 is excited. On the shaft 34 is firmly seated a gear 39 which is in engagement with a There is a gear 40 which is firmly seated on the shaft 41. The shaft 41 also runs for as long as the magnet 20 is excited.

On the shaft 34 sit complementary cams 42 and 43 (Fig. 5), which are arranged so that they adjust the two-armed lever 44, which is placed on the shaft 45, during its rotation and thereby the shaft 45 and that of this worn tooth sector 46 (Fig. 1) give an oscillating movement, which is transmitted by the teeth of the sector to a slide 47 on which the pick-off knife 48 for the cards in the container M is attached, so that each time the slide 47 is moved in the Direction to the right in the sense of FIG. 1, the bottom card of the stack is pushed out of the container.

Each time the card transport machine is played, the gear 28 makes one revolution. The card holder M is assigned a contact 54 which is monitored by a lever 55 so that it remains closed as long as there are cards in the card holder M , while the lever 55 performs a swinging movement when the supply of cards is exhausted, which opens the contact 54 causes.

When the magnet 20 is de-excited, its armature 38 is in the path of movement of the pawl 37 and of the arm 36, so that the latch! 37 comes out of engagement with the tooth of the wheel 35. Of the Arm 36 is held in a predetermined position by a locking lever 49, so that the shafts 34 and 41 in their basic position, which is called the .D position to be designated, to be recorded.

On the shaft 41 there are cams 50 (FIG. 2) which monitor contacts Pi to P 5; Also on the shaft 33 are cams 51, which monitor contacts Ci to C 4 assigned to them. On the shaft 33 there is also a cam 56 (FIG. 12 f), which actuates a contact 57 assigned to it at different times of the machine game. Furthermore, brushes 58 of a current impulse transmitter 59 of the usual shape are seated on the shaft 33, the contact pieces 60 of which are brought into conductive connection with a contact ring 61 by the rotating brushes at different times, which serves a purpose to be explained later. According to the above, the counting cards 32 are pushed out one by one from the card holder M by the card pick-up knife each time the control magnet 20 is energized. The cards pushed out of the container first arrive at a first pair of card transport rollers 80, 81, which, in conjunction with further pairs of transport rollers, guides the cards through the registration and hole section of the machine, which happens intermittently.

Counting card perforation

According to the illustration of FIG. 1, punch 65 is provided for punching the cards removed from the container M , the actuation of which is monitored by magnets 66. When a magnet 66 is excited, it then selects a specific punch assigned to it for the actuation, which takes place when a bar 67 is subsequently moved downward, which serves to

pressing down all selected punches at the same time and thereby punching the card. That happens in a known manner, as can be found in US Pat. No. 2,032,805, so that only a brief explanation of the piercing process is required here. For every column of cards a special punch 65 and an associated magnet 66 is provided so that all selected Punch are operated at the same time. The various metering point locations in the Columns of cards are intermittently brought into the hole position so that the holes in the Cards are made while they are at rest.

Each punch is assigned a special coupling pawl 68 under the influence of a spring, which is connected to the armature 69 of the associated magnet 66 by a wire 70, so that when a magnet is excited, the associated pawl 68 is under the influence of the one acting on it Wire 70 is moved to the right in the sense of FIG. 1, the recess 68 a the pawl engages the rail 67. If then the hammer rail 67 downwards is moved, then the pawls 68 brought into engagement with her are taken and practice a pressure on the associated punch 65, so that the card is punched, whereupon the The punch can be quickly pulled out again and the card advanced to the next metering point will.

The hammer rail 67 sits on a rail 71,

which is rotatably placed on pin 72. The rail 71 is fastened by means of a turnbuckle 74 to an arm 73 which is firmly placed on a shaft 75 which also carries an arm 76 . An eccentric 77 is seated on the shaft 24 and is enclosed by an arm 78, the upper end of which is connected to the arm 76 in an articulated manner.

Since the eccentric 77 is seated on the continuously rotating shaft 24, the shaft 75 and its arm 73 experience a reciprocating oscillating motion, moving the rail 71 and the hammer rail 67 downwards in certain spaces. Depending on the previous excitation of the magnets 66, any desired coupling pawls 68 for punch can participate in the downward movement of the hammer rail every time.

In Fig. 7, a portion of a card 52 is shown, which has holes 53 at different counting points in different columns of the map, those under the influence of the excitation of the magnets associated with the various card columns 66 have been generated.

The card is transported through the perforation unit under the influence of the two pairs of transport rollers 80, 81 and 82, 83. The cards pushed out of the container M by the pick-up knife 48 are brought between a punching die 85 and a stripping rail 84 by the first pair of transport rollers.

The device for driving the card transport rollers is as follows, reference being made in particular to FIGS. 5 and 6 for the explanation. The continuously revolving gear 27 is equipped with a roller 86 for actuating a Maltese cross gear and with a segment 87 which works together with the disk 88 of the Geneva cross gear, which is firmly attached to the shaft 89. The disc of the Geneva cross gear is provided with seven radial slots, so that one complete revolution of the gear wheel 27 brings about a rotation of the shaft 89 by one seventh of a revolution. The shaft 89 rotates intermittently as long as the motor 21 is in operation. A gear 90, to which a ratchet wheel 91 with a tooth gap is attached, is rotatably seated on the shaft 89. On the shaft 89 there is also an arm 92, firmly connected to the shaft, on which a spring-loaded pawl 93 is arranged. The pawl 93, which is under spring action, tries to insert itself into the tooth gap of the ratchet wheel 91, but is normally prevented from doing so by a lever 94 with a roller 95 sitting on it, which rests against the tail end of the pawl 93, as shown in FIG. When the lever 94 and the roller 95 are moved from the position shown in Fig. 5 to the right and. Release the tail end of the pawl 93, then the pawl can fall into the tooth gap of the disc 91, whereby the gear 90, which is loosely placed on the shaft 89, is given a rotational movement, which transmits this to the gears 96 and 97, which firmly are placed on the shafts 98 and 99, respectively. On these shafts also sit gears 100 and 101 (FIG. 2), which mesh with gears 102 and 103 which are keyed onto shafts 104 and 105, respectively. The shafts 98 and 104 carry the first pair of card transport rollers 80 and 81, while the second pair of transport rollers 82 and 83 sit on the shafts 99 and 105.

It can be seen that when the lever 94 is disengaged from the plane of oscillation, the pawl 93 is disengaged then the transport rollers 80 due to the pawl falling into the locking gap of the disk 91 to 83 by means of the gear connection described in intermittent rotation will. As already mentioned, the gear ratio is such that with every rotary movement the shaft 89 the transport rollers are rotated to such an extent that they the card Move by a distance that is equal to the distance between two counting points on the map. The lever 94 receives the oscillating movement required to release the pawl 93 the complementary cams ro6 and 107, which are placed on the shaft 34 and against which the rollers 108 and 109, which on the horizontal arm of the lever 94 are arranged. It should now be remembered that the rotation of the shaft 34 is effected by the magnet 20 is monitored and that each time it

excitation of this magnet, the shaft 34 is uninterrupted by the shaft 24 and the described, related gear parts is rotated. The cams 106 and 107 are designed so S that when the magnet 20 is not excited and the shaft 34 is stationary, the lever 94 is so that it the pawl 93 from falling into the locking gap of the drive pulley 91 is prevented. However, if the Magnet 20 is energized, then cams 106 and 107 are rotated and it becomes lever 94 given an oscillating movement, causing the pawl 93 to fall into the locking gap of the drive pulley 91 is free, so that a gear connection between the intermittently driven Shaft 89 and the gear 90 comes about, whereby the intermittent movement the card transport rollers 80 to 83 is brought about.

In addition to the transport rollers 80 and 81, there is a control lever which actuates a contact 110 (see Fig. 12a). As long as cards are fed to and through the transport rollers one after the other the pair of rollers 80 and 81 are pushed further, the lever in contact 110 keeps closed, while contact is broken when the card feed is stopped.

Card processing

From the hole section of the machine, the cards are moved by the transport rollers 82, 83 between Guide plates 115 fed through the sensing brushes 116, which with a contact roller 117 work together. If the sensing brushes 116 hit card holes, then get there they come into contact with the contact roller 117 and thereby close control circuits which will be explained later. In Fig. 7, as already mentioned, there is a portion of a card 52, which is provided with holes 53 produced in its columns, through which the brushes 116 get to feel.

At the sensing station, a card lever 118 is provided in the usual way, which a card lever contact 119 monitors. If there is a card at the sensing station, it closes Card lever under the influence of this card its contact, while in the absence of a card on the The sensing point of the card lever contact is opened. Except for the card sensing station with the sensing brushes 116 is an additional sensing station with sensing brushes 112, which in one Holding frame 114 sit, which can be adjusted on a mounting rail 63 so that card holes in selected card fields, which are to have a controlling effect on machine operation, through the Brushes 112 can be sensed. This happens, before the value is sensed by the brush 116. In this way, control circuits can be influenced on which in a later point in time the value sensing of the cards acts through the brushes 116. The auxiliary sensing station with the brushes 112 is only used for sensing used by operating control holes, while the second sensing point with the brushes 116 to it serves to sense value holes from cards. In the following, the two sensing points are referred to as Main and auxiliary sensing points are designated.

Card tray

From the main sensing station, the cards arrive in a storage container N (FIG. 1) under the influence of a storage drum 120 with an associated transport roller 121 and a further pair of transport rollers 122, 123. however, intermittently, driven, synchronously with the transport rollers 80 to 83 is arranged. Through a gear connection, consisting of the gear 128, which is keyed on an intermediate shaft 129, and gears 130 and 131, which are keyed on a shaft 132, the gear 126 drives the gear 133 and the same supporting shaft 134, on which also the Deposit drum 120 is seated.

On the shaft 134 sits a gear not shown in the drawing , which corresponds to the gear 133 in size and which drives a gear 135 (Fig. 2) which is placed on a shaft 136, which also cooperates with the storage drum 120 Card transport roller 121 carries. The deposit drum and the transport roller assigned to it are therefore rotated intermittently as long as the motor is in operation, and the rotation takes place synchronously with the rotation of the transport rollers 80 to 83, since the drive is derived from the same driving shaft 89. The transmission ratio between the gears 124 and 133 is such that when the gear 124 is rotated by one seventh of a revolution, the depositing drum experiences a rotary movement, whereby the adjacent card is advanced by the distance between two adjacent counting points.

The gear 130 also drives a gear 137, which is placed on the shaft 138, which is also no still carries a gear 139, which is connected to a gear transmission is coupled, which contains the gears 140, 141 which are placed on the shaft 142 and also includes gears 143 and 144, the latter of which is keyed onto shaft 145 is. The transport roller 123 sits on the shaft 142, and by a drive wheel, which is similar to drive wheel 141 and, like this, also on shaft 142 is placed, a placed on a shaft 147 pinion 146 is driven, through which the with the transport roller 123 cooperating transport roller 122 is set in rotation.

By the transport roller pair 122, 123 are the cards are fed to the storage container JV, in which a rubber roller 148 regulating the storage is provided, which is placed on a shaft 145

809 525/26

is, the rubber roller when the shaft 145 rotates the cards in the sense of FIG. 1 to the right shifts.

The deposit drum 120, which is seated on the shaft 134, has a plurality of swingable gripper fingers 149, as can be seen from FIG. These fingers are made by under spring pressure standing piston 150 in engagement position with the card to be conveyed by the deposit drum brought. The gripping fingers 149 work together with fixed disks 151 with a cam edge so that the gripping fingers are brought into engagement with the card at the correct speed and disengaged again reach. The gripping fingers capture the card after the card has hit the transport roller 121 has left, whereupon the card is in contact with the discard drum for so long 120 is held until it is gripped by the pair of transport rollers 122, 123.

Film sensing and registration device

For the sensing of the film, a light source is provided as shown in FIG. 1, which has a plurality of lamps 175, which are seated in separate housings 176, one of which Side wall light guide rods 177 made of quartz go out, which are carried by a frame 184. A second frame is also located in the same plane in which the frame 184 is located 178, which carries quartz rods 182, each of which is attached to a light responsive organ, e.g. B. a photosensitive cell 183. The frames 178 and 184 are a small distance apart arranged from each other, and the space formed in this way serves as a guide for the photo: graphic film 180. This film is interrupted by organs yet to be described switched so that the marks on the film are sequentially sensed. In Fig. 8, a portion of the film 180 is shown, the markings 181 at different Marking points appear in columns of film. The quartz rods 177 and 182 are in the frame 184 and 178 are held at a distance from one another which is adapted to the width of the film gaps is.

If the lamps 175 are constantly on, so that light through the quartz rods 177 against the film surface is directed towards, then when this light hits areas of the film that do not Have marker points that light radiation penetrate the film, and each of a quartz rod 177 incoming light radiation reaches an assigned quartz rod 182 and through this to the associated light cell, whereby the light cells are excited in a certain way. However, if there are film marks in the light path, then the light radiation is modified or completely interrupted, so that light in this case does not excite the associated light cells able. Because the markings in the film columns are at different counting points can and since the counting point positions in the film fields are sensed one after the other, so will the rays of light passing through the different quartz rods at different times influences the markings and then, accordingly, the controls that respond to the light.

From this it is also immediately clear how the registration of information in the form of markings comes about in a spatially different arrangement; the only requirement for this is that the light sources are usually kept ineffective, but in conjunction with the interruptions Passing the film through the sensing station in accordance with the arrangement to be made as a result of the registration Markers are turned on so that their radiation through the quartz rods 177 to the associated Gaps in the film arrives and marks are produced in these by the film exposure, which are attached to appear in different places, according to the times when the light sources are switched on.

There is also another film sensing point. This includes an elongated one Light source 186 housed in a housing 187 is, which forms part of the frame 184, as well as a plurality of light directing bodies 188, which from Quartz rods, similar to rods 177, can exist and are also housed in frame 184 are. Quartz rods 189 are assigned to the quartz rods 188 and are embedded in the frame 178 and the radiation fed to them by the quartz rods 188 each to a light-sensitive cell 190 conduct.

The film passed through the sensing section of the device is influenced by its markings first through the quartz rods 188 and 189 to the light-sensitive cells 190 outgoing radiation before influencing the through the Ouarz rods 177, 182 to the light-sensitive Cells 183 outgoing radiation occurs. The purpose of this is to change the marking of the To have the film sensed earlier, namely at the first sensing point, than the value markings, which the latter experience their sensing only at the second sensing point. Below is the first The sensing point at which the identification marks are sensed is referred to as the auxiliary sensing point while the second sensing point where no the value marks are sensed as Main sensing point is designated.

Film transport device

The intermittent unwinding and winding of the film from the supply roll 200 onto the take-up reel 201 in connection with the passage of the film through the sensing section the device takes place under the influence of the rotational movement of the shaft 142. On the Shaft 142 is keyed to a gear 202 which meshes with gear 203 which is rotatable seated on shaft 204. With the gear 203, a ratchet wheel 205 is connected, which only one has a single tooth which cooperates with a pawl 206 which is rotatably seated on the arm 207,

which is mounted on the shaft 204. The armature 208 of a magnet 209 protrudes when the magnet is de-energized into the path of movement of the arm 207 and its pawl 206, so that the pawl 206 then cannot come into engagement with the tooth of the ratchet wheel 205. When the magnet 209 is excited and attracts its armature 208, then the pawl 206 is free so that it can get into the coupling position with the ratchet wheel 205. like; the shaft 204 must then participate in the rotation of the gear 203 loosely seated on it, which is driven by the shaft 142.

A pinion gear 210, which is in engagement with a gear wheel 211, is firmly seated on the shaft 204, which is firmly seated on the shaft 212 which carries the drive sprocket 213 for the film. On the wave 212 also sits a pulley 214, which drives the shaft 216 through a belt 215, on which the take-up reel 201 for the film 180 is seated. The film is thus through the sprocket 213 and the gear connection described intermittently by the film sensing section the device moved therethrough. A contact 218 is made as long as there is a film in the Abas sensing portion is held closed by a contact lever 219; but the contact will open when the film supply is exhausted and the lever 219 then no resistance on the film finds.

For working circuit monitoring, certain control organs are provided, which are in accordance with the intermittent motion of the film take effect.

A ratchet wheel 220, which has only one tooth, is firmly seated on the continuously rotating gear 28 has, with which a pawl 221 is able to work together, which is rotatable on an arm 222 is arranged, which is firmly seated on the gear 223, which is rotatably mounted on the shaft 34.

Typically, the pawl 221 is held out of engagement with the tooth of the ratchet 220 by the armature 224 of the magnet 225; but when the magnet 225 is energized, its armature releases the pawl 221 so that it engages in the coupling position with the ratchet wheel 220 and accordingly the gear wheel 223 and the gear wheel 226 engaged with this start to rotate (FIG. 2). The gear 226 sits on the shaft 227, which carries a series of cams 228 which are used to actuate contacts F in the time monitoring shown in FIG.

Stepping relay

Stepping relays SR are provided to bring about monitored step movements. One embodiment of these stepping relays is illustrated in FIG. Thereafter, the relay has an upstream magnet MA and a downward switching magnet MR . The armature 163 of the upstream magnet is provided with a shoulder 164 which forms a pawl and which engages the toothing of a ratchet wheel 165 loosely placed on a pin 166. When the ballast magnet MA is energized, the tip of the ratchet approach slides over an inclined tooth surface and falls into the adjacent tooth gap of the wheel, so that when the magnet MA is de-energized, a rotation of the wheel 165 by a tooth width under the influence of the spring 167 enters. An insulating piece 168, to which a contact arm SA is attached, sits on the ratchet wheel 165. When the ratchet wheel 165 performs a switching movement, the contact arm SA experiences an adjustment from a contact piece of a contact group CT to the next adjacent contact piece of the group to the left of this. In order to bring about the return movement of the contact arm SA into the starting position, the switch-back magnet RM must be energized. When the armature pulls in its armature 169, a shoulder of the armature engaging in the toothing of the ratchet wheel 165 emerges from the toothing and lifts the ratchet shoulder 164 out of the toothing, so that the spring 171 pulls the contact arm SA back into its basic position capable of turning back the ratchet wheel 165.

Any number of contacts CT can be provided next to one another, with the contact pieces of which the contact arm SA comes into contact one after the other. If the relay is used as a value storage relay, ten digit contacts are provided, as indicated in FIGS. 12c and 12d for the relays SR iu to SR4.11, SRx t to SR4t and 67-8 to SR11.

In some cases it is desirable to energize the reset magnet MR (FIG. 11) in conjunction with an advance pulse when the contact arm SA contacts the last contact piece of the contact group. To bring about this effect, a two-armed body 172 is loosely placed on the pin 166 carrying the indexing wheel 165 and is usually held in the position shown in FIG. 11 by the insulating shoulder 168 of the indexing wheel. But if the contact arm SA and the insulating piece 168 are connected upstream from their basic position, then the two-armed part 172 is carried along by the spring 173, so that the longer arm of the part 172 comes out of contact with the spring pawl 174 and this rests against one of the spring leaves of the contact TC sets. This contact TC is arranged so that when the contact SA has come to the ·· last contact of the contact group CT and then the Vorschaltmagnet MA is energized 11 to move the arm SA in the sense of Fig. Even further to the left, the insulating 168 detects one of the spring leaves of the contact TC and closes this contact, which is then blocked by the pawl 174 in the closed position. The contact TC , which is blocked in its closed position, enables the production of a control circuit for the reset magnet MR to bring about the return movement of the contact arm SA and the insulating piece 168 into the basic position shown in FIG. The

Resetting of the two-armed part 172 in its basic position, whereby it triggers the pawl 174 so that the contact TC is able to open. How the control circuit for the reset magnet is created will be specified in the explanation of the working circuit diagram.

After the setup of the machine is explained in terms of its essential components has been, their mode of operation should now be made with reference to the working circuit diagram of the 12 a to 12 p are explained in the following order of the essentials Operations.

About punch markings from counting cards on photographic film in the form of dot markings to register, the spatial arrangement of which corresponds to the hole details on the cards, Certain preparatory measures must be taken and pre-settings on the machine be made.

Punched cards must be inserted into the card supply container M and a new photographic film 180 must be properly inserted into the machine; the main switch MS * must be closed and the control switch 5 ^{1 brought} into its CF position, as shown in FIG. 12 a. Contacts SK2, Rgb, contact SK main circuit 250, relay coils Ri, R2, 3 the stop button, the main conductor 251. The excitation of: Then, when the associated to the contact SK 2 starter button is pressed, then the contact SK arrives at the closure 2, the following circuit state Relay coil R 1 causes the following circuit to be produced as a result of the closure of its contact Ria : main conductor 250, motor21, starter button contact SK τ, main conductor 251. Relay R2 provides a holding circuit for itself by closing its contact R 2 b via the normally closed cam contact C 2 itself and the relay R 1. Relay R 2 also closes its contact R 2 a, which energizes card transport clutch magnet 20, which is in the following circuit: main conductor 250, magnet windings 20, switch Si in the CF position, contacts R 30 a, R2a, usually closed cam contact C. 1, executive 251.

When excited, the magnet 20 sets the shaft 34 in rotation, as a result of which the card pick-up element is set in motion so that a card is advanced against the pair of transport rollers 80, 81. The transmission for the transport rollers is also set in motion when the shaft 34 begins to rotate. The card is thus advanced intermittently to the card hole portion of the machine so that the contact 110 is closed. If that happens then will relay J? 3 excited, which lies together with the contact 110 in a current path connecting the two main conductors 250, 251. At the time contact 110 closes, contact P 2 is also closed. Then there is the following circuit: main conductor 250, relay coil R 14, contact R 3 e, switch S4. in the CF position, contact P 2, main conductor 251. The relay R 14 is thus excited and, by closing its contact R 14 c, creates a holding circuit via the switch 6 "5 and the cam contact P 3, which is simultaneously with the contact 110 is closed and remains closed until the end of the machine game in question, which occurs near the end of each machine cycle, so relay R 14 is energized near the end of each machine cycle and remains energized until the next machine cycle.

The purpose of the current path arrangement shown in Fig. 12 a is, by energizing the relays Rz, R4, R7, R8, R14 and thereby causing the closure of the contacts R 3 c, R4a, Rγα, R8a and R 14a, which are in series with the Contact R2 b are switched and simultaneously closed in the machine game to produce a current bridge in the circuit for the relays Ri, R2 , which causes the relays Ri, R 2 to remain energized and ensure uninterrupted machine operation, even if the cam contact C 2 is opened what happens just before the end of each machine game.

When starting the machine, however, the starter button must be kept pressed during several machine games, until all control circuits are established, on which the creation of the conditions for uninterrupted machine operation depends. The necessity of this is evident when it is considered that at the end of the first machine game the no first card is just approaching the card hole section; the contact 119 at the card sensing point is then still open, so that the relay R 4 is not energized and thus an uninterrupted automatic operation of the machine cannot come about at this point in time.

But if the start button is held down, so that after the end of the first machine game a second can follow, then the transport roller pair 82, 83 becomes effective and pushes the card against the sensing point, so that it passes the card lever 118 and causes this to close the contact 119 while the card is not yet being sensed by the sensing brushes. Rather, this takes place first during the third machine game. At the end

of the second machine game, the following current paths are effective. Relays R 3 and R 4 are energized because contacts 110 and 119 are closed; relays R 7 and R8 are energized because contacts 54 and 218 are closed, the first due to the presence of cards in the card holder M and the last due to the film 180 inserted in the machine.

If the cam contact C 2 is opened during the second machine cycle, then the contact / ⁵ 3 is closed. The contact P 2 is closed shortly beforehand, whereby the relay 2? 14 is excited, which then closes its contact R 14 c , whereby it establishes a holding current path via contact P 3. This holding circuit remains beyond the end of the machine game until the beginning of the following machine game. From then on, the following circuit is closed during each machine cycle:

Main conductor 250, relay R i, R2, contacts R 2 b, R 8 a, Rja, R ^ c, i? 4ß, Ri4.a, switch S3, contact Rgb, usually closed stop button contact SK 3, main conductor 251. This circuit exists during that part of each machine game during which the cam contact C 2. is open, and through it the relays Ri and R2 are kept energized each time until the start of the next machine game. Near the end of each machine game, the cam contact C 1 is also closed to remain closed until the beginning of the next machine game, so that the magnet 20 is energized at the end of each machine game and causes a card advance during each machine game. The machine is now set up for uninterrupted operation and the card is scanned at the start of the third machine game. The film switching mechanism must then also become effective, whereby the film is switched upstream synchronously with the card, intermittently. This is done as follows:

Near the end of each machine cycle, contact C 3 closes, resulting in the following two Circuits are made:

1. Main conductor 250, relay coil? 5, Kontakti? 3 ^, ♦ 5 cam contact C 3, main conductor 251 and

2. Main conductor 250, relay coil R 6, contacts R4.b and Ä14 &, cam contact C3, main conductor 251.

These circuits, through which the relays R 5 and R6 are energized, remain through the closed cam contact C 3 through the end of the machine game until the beginning of the next machine game. Before cam contact C 3 opens, cam contact Pi closes so that relays R 5 and R6 remain energized for the duration of the card sensing portion and the film registration portion in each machine game.

The closure of contact R 6 α causes the following circuit to be established near the end of each machine cycle: main conductor 250, magnet coils 209 and 225, contact R6a, switch S 2 in the CF position, contacts R 12 α and R 2 a, cam contact Ci, main conductor 251. The energization of the magnet 209 operates the film switch mechanism so that the film 180 is gradually advanced through the sensing section in accordance with the passage of the cards 52. The excitation of the magnet 225 results in the rotation of the control shaft 227 for the .F cam contacts, which are actuated by the cams 228 seated on the shaft. The purpose of the F-contacts will be explained later.

The machine is now in the ready position to sense the first card and then all other cards, as is necessary for the control of the registration device. It can be seen that the individual counting cards are moved through the sensing point of the machine, the holes made at different points in the card columns depending on their importance being sensed by the sensing brushes 116, which when they hit a hole come into contact with the contact roller 117, whereby the closure of circuits is brought about at different points in time during the machine game. The circuit caused by sensing a card hole runs as follows: Main conductor 250, contact R 21 b, switch S26 in the CF position, current conductor 252, light source 175, current conductor 253, sensing brush 116, contact roller 117, current conductor 254, cam contact Pi 5, which is closed during the sensing section of each machine game, contact R 6 /, which is now closed, contact 57, which is closed during the sensing of the individual counting points of the card columns, main conductor 251. As a result of the closure of this circuit or the simultaneous closure of several When several card holes are sensed at the same meter point location, the light source or light sources 175 in question is or are switched on.

It was already mentioned earlier that when the magnets monitoring the film transport are excited 209 the film 180 intermittently through the registration section of the machine im Synchronism with the incremental movement of the counting card through the sensing section of the machine is advanced. Accordingly, for example, at the time of sensing, the ninth counting point of the card columns the film in the registration section of the machine in the Positioned at which the ninth counting point of the film columns is in the registration position is located. The light sources are also switched on at the relevant times the influence of the card sensing circuits so that the film is then exposed to the light rays is subjected and the registration of the sensed card holes on the film in the form of Film markings going on as indicated in Figure 8 for a film section. In connection It should be mentioned here that there is also the possibility of adding additional

909 mm

to make registrations on the film that are not dominated by card punches. Such additional registrations can be made on the film by manual adjustment of control devices. Such control devices are indicated in FIG. 12 e and given the reference numeral 255. Each of these has an annular current conductor 256 with individual contact pieces 257 which can come into contact with sensing brushes 258 as desired. The brushes are adjusted by hand in order to bring any information to the representation on the film, and they are made effective by a common impulse transmitter 59, which induces control pulses as it rotates at times which correspond to the respective brush setting made, with light sources 175 being switched on . If the brushes belonging to certain contact rings 256 are brought into certain positions, then during the rotation of the impulse transmitter 59 circuits are closed, for which the following circuit is a typical example: main conductor 250, light source 175, current conductor 259, contact R6c, by a manually set Brush 258 connected contact piece 257, current impulse transmitter 59, current conductor 61, switch ^ "25, cam contact F 14, which is closed during the sensing section of the machine game, contact 57, current conductor 251. So a light source is switched on when the rotating brushes 58 of the current impulse transmitter touch a contact piece 60 which is in conductive connection with a contact piece 257 on which a brush 258 is set Contact piece 60 of the impulse transmitter to the next, so that during the sensing of the nine counting points of the card, the brush of the impulse transmitter also senses the nine contact pieces of the impulse transmitter, which can come into current-conducting connection via set brushes of the actuating device 255 with contact pieces 257. Thus, light sources 175 can be excited at points in time at which certain counting point points of the film are in the registration position, so that registrations are made on the film which correspond to the respective intended positions of the brushes 258.

To check the film marks by comparing them with the perforations on the counting cards, which the markings should correspond to, the punched counting cards are in the sent through the machine in the same way in which it was sent during the film registration the machine were sent. In addition, the film markings are sensed, which were generated under control by the punch cards on the film, including a appropriate setting of the film must be made. The start button is then pressed to start the To prepare the machine for the continuous scanning of the cards and the film marks, as already described.

To explain the processes involved in checking the registration, reference is made to FIGS. 12 a, 12 b and 12 f. During the test, the ^ switches remain in the same position in which they were when the film was registered under punch card control, with the exception that the switch .S "28 is brought into its FC position in order to bring about a permanent switch-on of the light source 175. Then, when the machine is in readiness for uninterrupted operation, then the punched counting cards and the film provided with the punchings of the card corresponding point symbols are moved in synchronism with one another through the sensing sections of the machine. When holes in the cards are sensed by the brushes 116, Then the following circuits are established in the position of the holes corresponding to the times: main conductor 250, contact i? 2i &, coils α of the relays i? 32 and i? 33 wound in opposite directions, brushes 116, contact roller 117, current conductor 254, contacts Bis, R & f and 57 , Executive 251.

The sensing of the point symbol points on the film takes place simultaneously with the sensing of the counting point points on the card, so that the circuits mentioned are closed every time a card hole and a point symbol are sensed at simultaneously sensed and mutually corresponding metering point points on the card and the film. The photocells 183 become effective every time light beams are intercepted by point symbols on the film, with the result that the amplifiers 260 assigned to the photocells become conductive and induce the excitation of relay 261 with appropriate time monitoring (this mode of operation will be explained in more detail below to be given description of the card punching explained). When the relay 261 is energized, the following circuits are closed by closing contacts 262: main conductor 250, contact R 21 b, relay coil & the relays R 32 and i? 33, current conductor 230, contacts 262, current conductor 231, contact 57, main conductor 251.

If the coils α and b of the relays .R32 and i? 33 are energized simultaneously, the relays will be inoperative, indicating that the registration of dot symbols on the film is in accordance with the arrangement of the holes on the controlling punch cards. However, if the dot symbol registration on the film does not match the punching of a controlling punch card, then the coils α and b of the relays jf? 32 and i? 33 are not energized at the same time, so that the relays operate. The closure of contacts R 32 α and RZ2> a causes the excitation of the relay Rg and the switching on of a lamp 232, which are located in a current path connecting the main conductors 250 and 251 and which is closed when the contact R 32 α or R 33 α is closed. The relay Rg represents a holding

Electric circuit, which runs as follows: main conductor 250, relay R 9, contact SK 4, which is usually closed, but can be opened by a button to be pressed if the card hole and the film point symbol do not match, contact R 9 a, contact SK 3 which is usually closed but can be opened by a stop button, main conductor 251.

The holding circuit for the relays R 1 and R 2 is now interrupted by opening the contact Rg b , which has the consequence that the magnets 20, 209 and 225 are de-energized, so that neither a punch card transport nor an advance of the film tape can take place. The marking position of the film which does not coincide with the card hole can be marked appropriately by the operator. To continue the test , the key belonging to contact SK 4 must be struck so that this contact is opened before the start button is pressed and the machine is prepared for further test operations by the resulting closure of contact SK 2.

If, during the registration of point symbols on the film, symbols are also registered which are set by manual adjustment of setting devices 255, then these point symbols can also be subjected to a test by setting the relevant setting devices to the relevant symbols on the film . The point symbols sensed in certain columns of the film fields are then compared with the symbol values set in the actuating devices. If point symbols are sensed on the film, then the associated photocells and amplifiers are influenced in such a way that the relays 261 belonging to them are energized, whereby the following circuits are closed: main conductor 250, contact R21 b, coils b of relays R 34 and R35, current conductor 233, contacts 262, current conductor 231, contact 57, main conductor 251. If the compared data are in agreement with each other, then the following circuits are closed at the same time, which prevents the relays i? 34 and R35 from becoming effective: main conductor 250, Contact R21 b, coils α of the relays R 34 and R35, contacts R6c and R6e, contact rings of the associated actuating devices 255, brushes 258, contacts 257, contact pieces 60 of the impulse transmitter 59, brush 258, current conductor 61, switch 6 * 25, contact F 14 , Contact 57, main conductor 251. If the data compared with one another do not match, then the specified S does not close at the same time current circuits, so that the relay R 34 or the relay R 35 or both become effective and bring about the closure of the contacts R34a and R 35 α assigned to them, whereby the relay R 9 is energized and the indicator lamp 232 is switched on in a similar manner as it was already in connection with the closure of the contacts R 32 α and R 33 α has been explained. Further work processes are then also prevented until the key belonging to the contact SK 4 , which indicates the lack of agreement between the compared values, is pressed and the holding circuit for the relay Rg is opened.

B. Punch card production and testing
under film control

In view of the detailed description of the procedures for registering film marks or dot symbols and taking into account the fact that the transport devices for the cards and the film are equally effective in registering film marks and punching cards, the explanation can be made the processes involved in punching cards under film control can be kept short. For an explanation of the processes involved, reference is made below to FIGS. 12 a, 12 b, 12 c, 12 d and 12 g. It is assumed that all switches S are in the .FC position and that switches Di, D2 and Z> 8 are in the ^ position. When this switch setting has been made, the start button is pressed so that the associated contact SK 2 is closed, and the button is held down until the requirements for automatic operation of the machine are met. Also for the card punching under film control, care must be taken that the same counting points of the cards and the corresponding marking points of the film fields are located at the same time under the punch and the film symbol sensing elements.

When the start button is depressed, the relays Ri and R2 are energized and cause the motor 21 and the associated gearbox to be started under the influence of the closure of the contact Ria. The control magnets 209 and 225 are also excited under the influence of the closure of the contact R2a, whereby the film transport device is activated and the shaft carrying the F-cams is rotated. When this happens, the cam contact C 5 is closed so that the relay R24 can be energized, which, when energized, creates a holding circuit via the closed contact R24c and the cam contact F 8. It can be seen that after pressing the start button, the card transport magnet 20 is excited by the following circuit: main conductor 250, solenoids 20, contact 24a, usually closed contact R 3 b, switch S2, contacts R 12 a, R2a and Ci, main conductor 251. The Card transport begins. Near the end of the first machine game, contact 110 is closed when the card passes the associated lever, which energizes relay R 3 and, in connection with it, closes contact R3a , which causes the circuit to magnet 20 for the next one Machine game open

will. This happens because contact R 23 α is only closed near the end of the following machine cycle, when contact F 6 is closed and creates the following circuit: main conductor 250, relay coil R 23, contacts Ä24 & and R 3 f, cam contact F 6, main conductor 251. The relay R 23 is thus excited and establishes a holding current path via the contact R 23 c and the cam contact Fy . At the beginning of the third machine game, the magnet 20 is again excited by closing the following circuit: main conductor 250, magnet coils 20, contacts R 23 a and RZa, switch 6 * 2, contacts R 12 α and Rza, cam contact C i, main conductor 251. It The card is transported and the first card is now pushed step by step through the perforated section of the machine by the transport rollers 80 and 81.

If the machine is properly loaded with blank cards and the controlling film with dot symbols is correctly inserted into the machine, then the contacts 54 and 218 are closed and cause the energization of the relays R7 and R8. It can be seen that a holding current path is created which bridges the holding circuit with the contact C 2 and which runs as follows: main conductor 250, relays R 1, R2, contacts R 2 b, R7b, RSb, R23 bj switch, 5 ^ in the FC position, contacts Rgb and SK3, main conductor 251. This holding circuit ensures the uninterrupted running of the machine. It should also be mentioned here that the relay 7? 5 is excited at the beginning of each machine game by closing the cam contact C 3 and then a holding circuit is established via its contact R 5 α and the cam contact P1 , which the latter remains closed during the entire sensing period of the machine game, so that the contacts R 5 b and R 5 d remain closed during the machine play sensing period.

It will be seen that as the various counting point locations on the punch card are advanced against the punching section of the machine, the corresponding dot symbol locations on the film are being sensed in the film sensing section of the machine; so it is z. B. when sensing the point symbol point 9 of the film fields, the counting point point 9 of the punch card in the hole section of the machine under the punch. While the various point symbol locations on the film come into the sensing position, point symbols that are present at these locations cause an influencing or interruption of the passage of rays from the light sources through the film to the associated light cells. As a result of the setting of the switches S 27 and "S" 28, all light sources are kept switched on continuously. If there are no point symbols in a sensing position of a film field, then the radiation from the light sources is guided by the quartz rods 177 and 182 against the transparent film and is able to pass through The light cells 183 are now interconnected in a known manner with amplifiers, which are indicated by the reference numeral 260, which in turn are interconnected with control relays 261. The amplifiers are designed so that no current passes through the amplifier when light rays hit the light cells, but that if the light radiation to the light cells is interrupted due to the presence of dot symbols at the sensed film locations, then the amplifiers connected to the light cells become current-permeable, so that the Ste uerrelais 261 receive power and trigger expensive effects in the usual way in business machines by closing associated contacts 262 and thereby creating the following circuits for the stamping magnets66: main current conductor 250, contact i? 2i b, switch 6 * 26 in the .FC position , Perforated magnets 66, contacts 262, common conductor 231, contact 57, main conductor 251. The connected perforated magnets are therefore excited, which actuate the associated punch and punch holes in the card columns at the counting point on the punched card, which corresponds to the sensed point symbol location on the film Manufacture that correspond to the film columns having point symbols.

At the same time as the holes in the counting cards produced under film control, additional card holes can also be produced under the control of manually operated adjusting devices 255. The information set in the actuating devices, which is transferred to the punch card, is sensed by the actuating devices by the impulse transmitter 59, and this impulse transmitter creates the following circuit for the punching magnet producing a corresponding card hole each time a value is sensed: Main conductor 250, contact R2ib, switch 526 to the contact R Sb, who stands in the FC-position, punch solenoid 66, from there into current-conducting connection with the contact R 5 d, both of which are closed during the Abfühlabschnittes the machine game, Einstellvorrichtung255, impulse transmitter 59, current conductors 61, Switch vS * 25, cam contact F14, contact 57, main conductor 251. The punching magnets 66 are therefore energized at different times, according to the values set in the setting device 255, so that these values are transferred to the cards in cuttings in addition to the values sensed from the film will.

The machine is set up in such a way that also a hole check during the duplication of the Film information in hole letters can be made a machine game later. By feeling the Point symbols of the film are namely not only excited by punch magnets, they are at the same time, the values sensed by the film are also transferred to a storage device, which thereby Adjustment effected on it in the next machine game with the value of the manufactured one

Loches is compared. In this comparison of values, circuits are effective, which are now should be explained.

After starting the machine, the relay RiS is energized at the beginning of the first machine game by producing the following circuit: main conductor 250, relay Ri8, contact R2ga, switches D 3 and D 2, contact P 4, current conductor 251. The relay R 18 turns on Holding circuit, which leads from the conductor 250 via the relay R 18, the contacts R 18 α and Riga to the conductor 251. At a later point in time in this machine game, the relay R 29 is energized by closing a circuit that goes from the current conductor 250 via the relay R 29 and the contacts R 18 b and Fn to the main conductor 251. For the relay P29 two holding current paths are present, namely a via the contacts R 29 c and i? I8c and the other via the contacts R-zgc and P12. After ao excitation of the relay R 18, the storage device for the information is reset by resetting the relay arms R 8 and Rg to their basic position near the end of the machine game. This reset is the result of the closure of the following circuit: main conductor 250, reset magnet Mi? 8 and MR 9, contact R 18 d, current conductor 235, switch D 8, in the ^ 4 position, switch Dg, current conductor 236, switch!? 5, contact P 7, main conductor 251. The reset magnets MR8 and MRg are thus excited and bring about the return of the relay arms.S7? 8 and SRg into their basic position shown in Fig. 12d.

At the start of the third machine game, when the film and the cards are simultaneously moved in synchronism with one another through the sensing or recording section of the machine, the relay R 19 is energized by closing the following circuit: main conductor 250, relay coil R 19, contact R2gb, Switches D 3 and D2, contact / ⁵ 4, main conductor 251. The excitation of the relay R 19 causes the opening of the contact R iga, so that the holding circuit for the relay R 18 is interrupted. In connection with the de-energization of the relay R 18, the relay i? 29 is also de-energized when the contact P 12 is opened, which is the case shortly after the start of the machine game. It has already been explained how the punching magnets 66 are excited during this machine game in order to bring about card punching under the influence of the temporally monitored closure of the contacts 262.

When the contacts 262 are closed, circuits are also closed, which cause the storage of the values sensed by the film by adjusting the relay arms R 8 and Rg . These circuits run as follows: Main conductor 250, contact i? 2i b, relay coils R 36 and R37, current conductor 237, contacts 262, current conductor 231, contact 57, current conductor 251. The relays 236 and 237 are thus simultaneously with the sensing of the point symbols of the Films excited. The relays R 36 and 37 b also establish holding current paths via their contacts R 36 b and R 37 b and the cam contact C12 . The closure of the contacts R 36 α and R 37 α provides the following circuits for energizing the Vorschaltmagneten MAS and MAG forth: Hauptleiter250, Vorschaltmagnet MA8, contacts R 18 /, P 36a, cam contact 162, main circuit 251 and the main conductor 250, magnet MAG, Contacts R 18h, R37α and 162, main conductor 251. The ballast magnets are thus excited one after the other by current surges, which are caused by the contacts 162, and cause the relay arms SR 8 and SRg to be connected in series, whereby those sensed by the film and in the card perforated values can be set in the adjusting device.

After punching, the counting cards reach the main sensing point, whereupon the card lever contact 119 is closed and, in connection therewith, the relay R4 is energized. The energization of relay 4 also energizes relay R6 through the following circuit: main conductor 250, relay R6, contact i? 4 & and Ri4.b, cam contact C 3, main conductor 251. Relay R6 closes its contact R 6 b a holding current path through the contact P 1, whereby the relay R 6 is kept energized almost during the entire machine game. During this section of the machine game, the storage relay arms SR 10 and SR 11 are also reset by the following circuit: main conductor 250, reset magnets MR 10 and MRn, contact Ri8e, current conductor 235, switch Z> 8 and Dg, current conductor 236, switch D. 5, contact P 7, main conductor 251. Two sets of memory relays are provided so that if the information is introduced in one of them, the information set in the other memory relay can be compared with the information provided on the counting card.

So that the perforation is checked for compliance with the information shown by the point symbols in the film section, not only must the point symbols on the film be compared with the information stored in relays R8 and Rg , but precautions must also be taken to ensure that the information provided by the to save the following film section in the relays SR 10 and SR 11. The following comparison circuits are created. The sensor brushes 116 of the card holes close electrical circuits at times depending on the position of the holes, which run as follows: main conductor 250, contact R21 b, coils of relays i? 32 and i? 33, brushes 116, contact roller 117, current conductor 254, Contacts P15, R6f and 57, main conductor 251. If the scanned card holes coincide with the dot symbols on the film field, the following circuits are closed at the same time: main conductor 250, contact R21 b, coils b of relays R32 and R33, current conductor 239 , Contact R6g and R6h, contacts 18; or 18 / (the relay R 18 is excited during this machine game by a circuit in which the contact R 29 α, the switches D 3 and

509 525/26

D2 and contact P4 are), current conductor 240, contacts CT 8 and CTg, contact 60 α of the impulse transmitter 59α, brush 58α, switch 6 * 25, contact P14, current conductor 196, contact 57, current conductor 251. As long as the information compared is the same, relays R 32 and R 33 are not activated; but if there is a lack of agreement of the information, then one relay or both relays are actuated, so "that the contact ίο R 2,2α and / or i? 33ß is closed, whereby the excitation of the relay R 9 and the activation the lamp 232. The switching of the information sheets is then interrupted as a result of the opening of the contact R 9 b and remains interrupted until the contact SK4 of the non-compliance key is opened, whereupon the normal machine games continue in the manner already described.

The circuits for storing the information in the relays SR 10 and SRn, which are sensed by the following film field, are as follows: Main conductor 250, ballast magnets MA 10 and M An, contacts R1 8 g or Ri8i, contacts i? 3 & a, i? 37 "and contactless, main conductor 251. The current surges, which are caused by the closure of the contacts 162, have the effect that, when the series relays MA10 and MA11 are excited one after the other, the contact arms assigned to them are adjusted in accordance with the point symbols sensed by the film. In connection with this, it should be remembered that contacts 262 will close at different times when the dot symbols are sensed by the film, which will energize magnets 66 and relays R36 and Rzj . When the processes described have expired, the contact arms of the relays SR 8 and SR 9 are returned to their basic position so that new settings can be made, and the information stored in the relays SRxo and SRn with the information stored by the card brushes 116 are sensed at the same time Data compared, similar to that described for relays SR8 and SRg .

C. Film marking and testing below

Punch card control with card group control

The processes are now to be explained with reference to FIGS. 12 a, 12 b and 12 h, by means of which information is registered on a light-sensitive film field under the control of sensed cards in the case of class selection get predetermined portion of the photographic film for registration. These processes take place in connection with the comparison of certain class or group information on the punched cards with predetermined information that is stored in these by manual setting of storage devices, in the case of the information match, with certain information in a special card field in be registered in a field of a film section, which is different from the field in which the information would be registered if there had been no class match. It is assumed that the machine is preset for film registration, with the 6 "switches, as shown in the drawing figures, in the CF position, and that the start button is pressed to activate the associated contact SK 2 for the The control circuits in question have already been explained in the section of the description marked with A, so that a repetition of this explanation is unnecessary.

Since the machine is thus prepared for uninterrupted automatic operation, the punched counting cards are successively fed through the card sensing section intermittently and cause the film registration device to be controlled. It is now assumed that the brushes 258 of the manually adjustable memory devices 255, four of which are denoted by A, B, C and D in FIG A and B are set, is compared with class or group information of the cards passing through, if they match, registration is to take place, and that the number to which the brushes C and D are set, is compared with class or group information of the cards, wherein if they match, no registration should take place. As the cards pass, the class or group indication is sensed by the brushes 112 at the first or auxiliary sensing point. If a sensed class specification then corresponds to the specification to which brushes A and B are set, then the following circuits are closed: main conductor 250, impulse transmitter 59 b, adjusting brushes A and B, connected coils of relay 2? 38 and 39, current conductors 252, sensing brushes 112, contact roller 113, contacts R31, P16 and 154, main conductor 251. The relays Ä38 and R39 are thus excited and create holding circuits, which run as follows: main conductor 250, holding coils δ of the relay, contacts R 38 b or R $ gb, switch 6 * 32, contact P17, main conductor 251. The holding circuits described are maintained by the cam contact during the entire sensing section of the machine game. It may be mentioned here that the current impulse transmitter 59 b is designed in such a way that its brush 58 & the contact pieces 60 δ belonging to the current impulse transmitter loop over one after the other, in the same moments in which the corresponding counting points of the cards on the sensing brushes 112 of the auxiliary sensing point pass.

Near the end of the machine cycle, during which the relays R 38 and R 39 are energized, the cam contact P 2 (cf. Fig. 10) is activated.

closed and creates the following circuit: main conductor 250, coil of relay R 11, contact i? 38a, R ^ ga, switch S 4, contact P 2, main conductor 251. The relay R 11 is thus energized. The relay then also produces the following holding circuit: main conductor 250, relay coil R 11, contact R11 a, switch S 5, contact P 3, main conductor 251. This circuit remains closed until the next machine cycle. At the beginning of this following machine game, the relay R 20 is excited as a result of the excitation of the relay Rn , which is in the following, then closed circuit: main conductor 250, relay coil R 20, contact R11 b, switch Sg, contact P 4, main conductor 251. It consists ? for the relay i 20 and the following hold circuit: Hauptleiter250, relay coil R 20, contact R 20 b, switches D 4 and Sn, contact P 5, main conductor 251. This hold circuit is maintained until opened near the end of the machine play of the cam contact P 5 will. The excitation of the relay R 20 results in the closure of the associated contacts R 20 c and R2oe, while the contacts R 20 d and i? 2o / are opened. Accordingly, the light sources 175 associated with the sensing brushes 116 for the particular card field are switched on and cause the indication sensed by the scoring card to be recorded on the film if the indication of the class of the card matches the indication to which brushes A and B are set.

The film strip 180 is of course switched synchronously with the cards, so that ζ. Β. When the counting point 9 of the cards is sensed by the brushes 116, the point 9 of the film section is also in the registration position, ie opposite the quartz rods 177. When the special light sources 175 are turned on while the card is hole sensing, the photographic film is exposed so that dot symbols corresponding to the holes being sensed are produced on the film, as shown in FIG. If the class information sensed by a card corresponds to the information to which the brushes ^ B of the actuating devices are set, then the following circuits are created when the holes are sensed by the brushes 116 at times which correspond to the position of the card holes sensed: Main conductor 250, contact R21 b, switch S26, light sources 175, contacts R20C and R2oe, current conductors 253, sensing brushes 116, contact roller 117, contacts Pi 5, R6f and 57, main conductor 251. The light sources 175 are switched on at the same instant in which card holes are sensed so that values sensed by the card are registered on the film in the form of dot symbols in the film columns which are assigned to the switched-on light sources. If the compared details of the card and the setting devices agree, then the relay i? 2o is energized, which has the consequence that a registration on the film is made in those film gaps which are assigned to the light sources which are connected to the contacts R 20 c and R2oe . If, however, the compared data do not agree, then both relays R 38 and i? 39 are not energized during the same machine cycle, and the energization of relay R 20 does not take place either. The light sources 175, which are connected to the contacts R2od and Ä20 /, are then switched on, so that when the card holes are sensed, point symbols are generated in those columns of the film which are assigned to the last-mentioned light sources.

It can therefore be used in the manner described in the form of card details when they are processed in different ways Columns of film are registered depending on the class or group information on the card correspond or not to information set manually in the setting devices; the Class information on the card thus determines the special film columns in which the registration of the hole value sensed by the card.

If information in certain punch cards should not be transferred to the film at all, then the contact R 2 ib, which is in the circuits of the light sources 175, is not closed while such cards are being scanned. When the hole values are being sensed by the brushes 116, the light sources 175 cannot be switched on either. It is now assumed that it is desired to exclude information from those cards from being transferred to the film which have class or group information that corresponds to the information set in the actuating devices. When reading the class information from the card, the following circuits are established: main conductor 250, impulse transmitter 59 b, manually set brushes CD, relay coils α of relays i? 40 and R 41, current conductors 254, brushes 112, contact roller 113, contacts 7 - 3i, P16 and 154, main conductor 251. The relays i? 4O and R 41 are thus energized. These relays also produce holding circuits in which the holding windings b belonging to the relays are located. These holding circuits run as follows: Main conductor 250, holding windings b of relays R40 and R41, contacts R 40 b or R41 b, switch S32, contact P17, main conductor 251. During the machine game, during which the class information is sensed, relay R12 excited by the following circuit: main conductor 250, relay R 12, contacts./? 40 α and R41CL, switch 6 * 4, contact P2, main conductor 251. The holding circuit for this relay is as follows: main conductor 250, relay coil R 12, contact R 12 b, switch S5, contact P3, main conductor 251. This circuit remains closed until the following machine game. During this following machine game, relay R21 is energized by the following circuit: main conductor 250, relay coil R21, contact R 12 c, switch Sg, contact P4, main conductor 251. The relay i? 2i remains energized for most of the machine game by the following holding circuit: Main conductor 250, relay coil R21, contact

R2ia, switch Sn, contact / ^, main conductor 251. As already mentioned, the energization of the relay R 21 causes the contact pin to open, whereby the switching on of the light sources 175 and thus at the same time the registration of sensed card details on the film is prevented. Card details are therefore not registered by those cards whose class details match the details to which the brushes C ίο and D are set.

There is also no film switching as long as the relay R12 is energized. This is related to the fact that the film transport control magnet 209 is opened by opening the normally closed contact R12 α .

The case will now be explained in connection with FIGS. 12 a, 12 b and 12 j in which it is desired to register information in the same film columns which are sensed by different card fields, it being intended to determine whether the on Class information available on a card matches or does not match information set manually in the actuating devices. If the compared data agree, then the relay i? 2O is energized during the entire sensing portion of the machine game. Since it has already been explained how this is done, this process does not need to be explained here. Every time the relay is energized R20, the indication of which is sensed by the brushes 116, which are directly connected to the contacts c and R 20 R2oe registered in certain columns of the film in the manner described. If, however, the relay R20 is de-energized, which indicates that the data compared do not match, the data which is sensed by the brushes connected to the contacts R2od and i? 2o / are registered in the same columns of the card.

In order to check the registration result even when the machine is operating in this way, the punch cards are sent through the machine in the same order, in which they run through the machine during the registration process. After The development of the film, the exposure of which was carried out under punch card control, becomes the Put the film back into the machine correctly, so that the dot symbols are in the individual sections of the film are sensed at the same times as the corresponding metering points of the Cards are sensed and the start button is pressed to the machine for uninterrupted Prepare for operation. The explanation of the test procedure should be made with reference to FIG Fig. 12 a, 12 b and 12 i take place. For the testing process the 6 "switches are left in the same position that they are used for film registration was given with the exception of the switch 6 * 28, which transferred to the .FC position in order to cause the light sources 175 to be switched on continuously.

The class indication on the scoring cards is sensed by the brushes 112 in a similar manner as during film registration and is used to control the effectiveness of the relays R 38 and i? 39 during the class selection and card deactivation processes, with the relays R 38 and i? 39 monitor the operation of relays R 11 and R 20. Depending on whether the relay R 20 is energized or not, the indications which are sensed by the particular columns of the developed film are activated by means of the relays 261 associated with the film sensing elements for the energization of the windings b of the relays i? 32 and i? 33 made. The values of the cards are sensed by the brushes 116 of the main sensing point and cause the windings α of the relays .R32 and Ä33 to be excited at the same time as the point symbols are sensed, so that the prerequisites for uninterrupted operation are given. If, however, as stated earlier in the explanation of the test circuits for the simple duplication of card holes in the form of point symbols on the film, the windings are not energized at the same time as the point symbols are sensed, then the relays R 52 and i? 33 become effective and cause the relay Rg to be energized, thereby interrupting the operation of the machine.

If certain cards are discarded during the duplication of their perforations in the form of dot symbols on the film, then the rejections can be checked in the same way. It was mentioned above that when certain class information which are sensed by the brushes 112, consistent with data on which the brushes C and D are set to the adjustment device, the relay R40 and R are energized 41 and the energization of the relay R12, and Create R 21 . During the checking operations causing the energization of the relay R 21, the opening of the contact R 21 b and the switch-off of the light sources 175 so that the effective sensing is point symbols on the film prevented as long energized by the power source than the relay R 40 and R41 are. The film switching processes are also interrupted during this time, since the contact R 12 α is open, which results in the de-excitation of the film transport magnet. The circuits in which the brushes are Hauptabfühlstelle 116 for the card are also open due to the opening of the contact R2ib so that during card precipitation processes an erroneous operation of the relay R 32 'and AE33 can not occur.

Checking the correctness of the duplication of the map in the form of point symbols on the film when selecting a map field is explained with reference to FIGS. 12a, 12b and 12k will. If the class information, which of the cards by the brushes 112 of the auxiliary sensing point is sensed corresponds to the information set in devices 255, then

as described, energizes the relay R 38 and Ä39 before the energization of the relay R enters 20th Duplication processes for perforations in different fields of the cards are then triggered, ie the brushes 116, which sense different card fields, cause the windings α of the relays R 32 and i-33 to be excited at those times when the relay R 20 is de-energized , and the brushes which sense certain other card fields cause these relay windings to be energized when relay R 20 is energized. Therefore, if the windings a and b of the relays R 32 and R S3 are energized at the same time points in which the card holes and the dot symbols are sensed by the film, then these relays will not be effective and the relay Rg remains de-energized, so that the machine remains in continuous operation, while if the relay windings a and b of the relays R 32 and i? 33 are not energized at the same time, the relay Rg is energized and stops the operation of the machine.

D. Card punching under control
^a 5 through films with group marking

With reference to FIGS. 12 b, 12 c, 12 d and 121, the card punching in the case of class or group selection, in the case of elimination of the card punching for certain film fields and in the case of card field selection for the punching will now be explained and subsequently also the checking of the punch cards produced in this way. It is assumed that to carry out such card punching under film control, the switches S are in the .FC position, that the switches D 1, Ö2 and D8 are in the ^ position and that the start button is held down long enough to prepare the machine for automatic operation. The resulting control circuits are specified in detail in Section B and do not need to be repeated here. The description given in the cited section B explains how the excitation of the punching magnets 66 comes about so that point symbols of the film cause the punching magnets 66 for the corresponding card columns to be punched at the point of counting of the card corresponding to the point symbols at a certain point.

In the explanation of these processes in section B, however, no consideration was given on a class selection and not on a card field selection or elimination of Movie sections for duplication. Recall that the auxiliary sensing point for the Movie where the point symbols are pre-sensed before the point symbols are duplicated is brought about in the form of a hole, with a light source 186, quartz rods 188, 189 and light cells 190 is equipped, whereby the sensing of the class or group information that is on the Film is located. The pre-sensing of this information from the film before duplicating the Values on the film in hole type are used to trigger the control processes for the now explained mode of operation are required.

Assume first that class selections are to be made and that the brushes A, B of the adjustment devices are set to specific indications which correspond to the class indications on the film segments being sensed at the auxiliary sensing point. If there is a match between the class information of a film section and the information to which brushes A and B are set, then the following circuits are created at the sensing times: main conductor 250, current impulse transmitter 59 b, adjustable sensing brushes A ₁ B, windings α of relay R 38 and i? 39, current conductor 264, contacts 265 of the relay 266, contact 156, main conductor 251. The relays 266 are excited under the influence of the light cells 190 and the amplifier 267 assigned to them when the radiation coming from the light source 186 through the class point symbols the film is affected as described for the relays 261 earlier.

The following holding circuits are established for the relays R 38 and i? 39: Main conductor 250, holding windings & the relays R 38, i? 39, contacts Rz8b and Rzgb, switch 6 * 32, contact ^ 15, main conductor 251. The excitation of the relay causes the energization of relays Rn and i? 20, as previously described, of which relay R 20 remains energized during the major part of the machine game that follows the sensing machine game. The excitation of the relay R20 causes the excitation of the punch magnets 66, which are connected to the contacts R 20 c and R 20 e . This excitation of the punching magnets occurs every time the compared details agree with each other, so that the cards are then punched in different card fields, depending on whether the class information on the section compared when the film section was compared with the set class information or not.

In order to make film sections ineffective according to their class η ° point symbols for bringing about card punching, an adjustment of the brushes C, D of the adjusting devices 255 is to be carried out in such a way that the brushes C and D are adjusted to the class information of those film fields which should not lead to card punching. Then, when the sensed class indication of the film portion in conformity with the information to which the brushes C and D are set, then the relay R4.0 and R are energized 41 and cause the excitation of relay R12 and R21 similar to what has already been described, which results in the opening of the contacts i? 2i & and R12α during the machine cycle following the pre-sensing machine cycle. The opening of the contact R 21 b

909 525/26

prevents the excitation of the punching magnets 66, and the opening of the contact R 12 a causes the suppression of further card transport processes due to de-excitation of the magnet 20 as long as the class information on the film segments matches the set class information.

The explanation of the processes for the selection of a specific card field for the card punching under control by point symbols of a film field will now be given with reference to FIGS Specification of the actuating device to which the brushes A and B are set, the excitation of the relay i? 2O takes place in a similar manner to that already described. The punch magnets 66 are then excited, which are connected to the contacts R20C and R2oe and which correspond to the point symbols that are sensed by the controlling film field at the main sensing point of the film and make the associated light cells 183, amplifier 260 and relay R 2.61 effective. If the compared class information does not match, the relay R 20 remains de-energized, and the same punching magnets 66 are excited, but under the control of dot symbols in those columns of the film field, which make those light cells 183, amplifier 260 and relay R 261 effective Contacts 262 are directly connected to contacts R2od and R2of . In this way, the same punch magnets are made effective by point symbols of the film section which are located in different film gaps when these are sensed at the main sensing point for the point symbols of the film.

The card punching can be checked during the card production itself, but in Time shift by a machine game compared to the card punching.

In section B of the specification it has been explained that by sensing point symbols of the film not only controls the excitation of the punching magnets, but at the same time also the storage of the values of the sensed point symbols of the film segment. These saved Values are now compared with the card holes that were used in the previous machine game generated under film control. Since test circuits have already been explained earlier the explanation of the mode of operation now under discussion can be considered upcoming test circuits are kept short, reference being made to FIGS. 12 a to 12 d and 121 shall be.

In section B of the description it was explained that the pairs of memory relays SR8, SRg and SR 10, vS "i? N are used alternately for the storage of information which is sensed by the film, and that the stored information is then used with the in The information is compared during the same machine game, during which the sensed film information is punched in the card. It has also already been mentioned that the memory relays SR 8 to SR 11 are returned to their basic position at the beginning of the test process. in which they are shown in Fig. 12d, before indications are introduced into the relay, it is now assumed that these preliminary operations have been completed in the manner described above and that the film and cards are simultaneously in their switching steps It is also assumed that the one sensed at the auxiliary sensing point for the film sections The third class specification corresponds to the specification of the actuating devices to which the brushes A ₁ B are set.

Under these circumstances the relays 2? 38 and R 39 energized and remain energized during the sensing section of the machine game under the influence of the holding circuit which is established by closing the contacts R 38 b and Rzgb . The relays Rn and i? 2O are then excited in exactly the same way as has already been explained, and cause the closure of the contacts R 20 c and R2oe. If the contacts 262 are then closed at different times according to the position of the point symbols on the sensed film section, then not only are the corresponding punching magnets 66 excited, but electrical circuits are also closed, which proceed as follows: Main conductor 250, contact R 21 b , Windings α of the relays .R 36 and R 37, contact 262 and 57, main conductor 251. The relays R 36 and i? 37 are thus excited and remain excited via current paths with the contacts R 36 b, Rtfb and C 12. The ballast magnets MA8 and MA 9 are then excited one after the other by current surges which come about when the contacts 162 close as a result of the closure of the contacts R 36 α and RZ7 ^a. In this way, the information sensed during a machine game is stored in the relays SR 8 and SR 9.

After the card has been punched and the information has been stored in the memory relay according to the information that has been sensed, the card is advanced to the main sensing point. It may be mentioned on this occasion that when the relay R 20 is energized in the previous machine game, the closure of the contact R2oa produces the following circuit: main conductor 250, relay coil R 16, contact R 20 a, switch Di in the ^ position, contact C. 4, main conductor 251. The relay R 16 is then energized and kept energized via the contacts R16 α and P 3. The relay R 16 closes its contact R 16 b when it is excited and thereby produces the following circuit: main conductor 250, relay R17, contacts R 16 b and P 4, main conductor 251. The relay R17 provides a holding circuit for itself when it is excited Contact R 17 a and a contact F4 . If then during

the test procedures determine that class selection has to occur, then the relays R20 and Riy are energized. The relay i? 20 selects the correct perforated magnets and the relay Ri ¹ J the correct sensing brushes, so that the perforated fields which have been perforated can be sensed and that the holes produced can thus be checked for their correctness.

The comparison of the selected information is carried out in the manner described earlier, in that the brushes 116 produce circuits at different times in which the windings α of the relays R 32 and R 33 are, while the surge transmitter 59 α closes circuits at different times, which the Storage relay 57? 8 and SRg as well as the windings & of the storage relays R 32 and i? 33. As long as the compared data agree, the relays i? 32 and i? 33 are not actuated, but if a lack of correspondence is found, then the relay R 9 is energized and caused due to the closure of one or both contacts R 32 α and R SS α an interruption of the switching processes and the machine operation.

It was explained above that during the comparison processes, information which is sensed from the following film section is stored in the relays Si? 10 and 57? 11 and that this information is punched in the following counting card. The control circuit for this process is as follows: main conductor 250, ballast magnets MA 10, MAn, contacts Ri & g or Ri% i, contacts R 36 α and R37α and contact 162, main conductor 251. The current surges caused by contact 162 cause the Contact arms of the relays SR 10 and SR1 1 are connected upstream when the magnets are excited so that the information that is sensed by the film is stored in the relay.

The relay i? 2o controls the selection of the punch magnets 66 for duplicating the film information in lettering, and the relay i? 17, which is actuated simultaneously with the control relay i? 20, controls the selection of the sensing brushes 116 for the

4-5 Checking the holes in the punch card.

When checking cards punched under film control, in which card punching has only been carried out for selected film sections, if the class information sensed at the auxiliary sensing point of the film section corresponds to the information to which the brushes C and D in the actuating devices are set, the Relays i? 40 and R41 energize and cause relays R 12 and R21 to be energized. The excitation of the relay i? 21 has the consequence that the circuits to the perforated magnets 66, the relays i? 36 and R 37 and the relays i? 32, i? 33 are interrupted by opening the contact R 21b . In this way, test processes are excluded and the card transport is interrupted while such film sections are being sensed, since the contact R 12 a interrupts the circuit to the card transport control magnet 20.

When checking the correct card field selection, if the class information which is sensed by a film section matches the information to which the brushes A and B of the actuating devices are set, the relays i? 38 and i? 39 are energized and cause the excitation the relays i? n and i? 2O. The relay i? 2o controls the selection of the film gaps to be sensed. The information stored in the storage relays SR 8 and SR 11 are then compared with the information scanned from the punch cards and control the action of the relays i-32 and i-33 in a similar way as has already been described.

E. Film marking and testing under the control of punch cards with identification holes

The explanation of the processes involved in duplicating hole details on counting cards in the form of dot symbols on a photosensitive film in such a way that several film sections under control by the same punch card according to a special identification of the same will now be explained with reference to FIGS. 12 a to 12 d and 12 η will. In order to carry out such a type of duplication go, the special marking must be carried out the punch card, which indicates the number of copies of the card in the form of film clips, in a storage device.

For this type of operation, a corresponding setting of the manual switch S must first be made, which consists in bringing these switches into their CF position. In addition, the switches D 3 to Dy, Dg and D 10 must be put in their. ^ - position. By hitting the start button, the contact SK2 must also be kept closed long enough, as in all cases, until the preliminary processes in the machine have expired and the machine is given the opportunity to work uninterruptedly. The circuits that take effect here have already been explained, apart from the additional circuits specified below.

At the beginning of each machine game, the cam contact P 9 is short-circuited. The following circuits are therefore established in every machine game after the relay i? 3 has been energized: Main conductor 250, relay coil R 27, switches Dy and 6 "2O, contacts R 3 g and Pg, main conductor 251. The closure of this circuit causes the relay to be energized i? 27 result, which creates the following holding circuit: main conductor 250, relay coil i? 27, contact R2jc, switch S 21, contact Fio, main conductor 251. Since contact Ρίο is closed during the entire sensing section of the machine game, the relay is also i? 27 kept excited during the entire sensing section. The relay R 27 closes its contact R 27a when it is excited, and then when near the end of the sensing section of the machine

play the cam contact P 2 is closed, then a circuit is established in which the relay R 13 is so that it is energized, whereby it closes its contact R 13 α , so that, since at this time also the contact P 3 is closed is, a holding circuit is established that persists until the end of the machine cycle. The relay R 13 is thus energized near the end of each machine game and remains energized beyond the end of the machine game.

It was previously explained that when the machine is started up near the end of the second machine cycle, it is being prepared for automatic operation and that during the third machine cycle there is an effective scoring of a scoring card at the main sensing point. During this third machine game after the start of operation, the relays R 30 and R 31 are energized. At the beginning of every machine game, contact P 13 is short-circuited, and the following circuits are then established: main conductor 250, relay coil i? 3o, contacts R 13 d and P 13, main conductor 251. The relay i? 3o is a holding circuit its contact R 30 i and the normally closed contact R 25 / her. Near the end of each machine cycle, contact C 10 is also closed, which has an effect that will be explained later. Relay R30 remains energized until relay R25 is energized. The energization of the relay R 30 has the consequence that the circuit containing the card transport clutch magnet is opened, so that further card transport is prevented until the relay R 25 is energized.

Contact R 30 c is used to keep the circuit of the film transport clutch magnet 209 closed when contact R 6 α is opened, and contact R 30 d is used to keep the circuit containing relays R 1 and i? 2 closed, if one of the contacts R 4 a, Rγα, R $ c and R 14 a or more of them are opened. The purpose of this arrangement is to ensure that when the last card is fed out of the card holder, the information contained on it still has its full effect before the automatic operation of the machine is interrupted.

Before explaining how the excitation of the relay 25 comes about, the circuits should be specified which are closed under the influence of the identification markings with which the punch cards to be duplicated are provided in order to indicate the number of film sections which are each marked with the Card punchings are to be provided with corresponding point symbols. It is now assumed that the first card is just passing through the auxiliary sensing point for the cards and that this card contains a number as an identification mark punched. If this identification number, which is attached in certain columns of the card, is sensed at the auxiliary sensing point, then the following circuits are closed: main conductor 250, windings α of relays R 42 and i? 43, current conductor 191, auxiliary sensing brushes 112, contact roller 113, contacts SR ^ i ₁ P16, 154, main conductor 251. The relays R 42 and .R43 are thus excited, creating the following holding circuits: main conductor 250, windings b of relays R42 and R 43, contacts R 42 b and i? 43c , Relay winding R44, switch 6 "33, contact P18, main conductor 251. This means that relay R 44 is also energized, thereby keeping relays R 42 and 2? 43 energized during the sensing portion of the machine game. When relay 44 is energized, it closes it has its contact R 44 α and produces the following holding circuit: main conductor 250, contact R 44 a, ballast magnets MA 5 u and MA 5 t, switch 521, contact .P10, main conductor 251. The contact front arms SA 5 ti and SA 5 1 of the relays SR 5ii and SR $ t are therefore connected upstream until the associated control magnets ΜΑζιι and MA 5 t are de-energized. Since the contacts R 42 a and R 43 α are closed at a certain point in time of the sensing section in the machine game, several pulses are fed to the ballast magnets MA 1 u and MA 1 1 , whereby these receive a number of short excitations one after the other, according to the identification number which is on the auxiliary sensing point is sensed by the card. In this way, the identification number becomes. into the storage devices constituted by the relays SR 1 u and SR 1 1 . The control circuits for the ballast magnets run as follows: Main conductor 250, magnet windings MA1 u, MAlt, contact ι of the group CT 5 u and CT 5 1, contacts R 42 α and R 43 b, switch 51S, contact 158, main conductor 251. On in this way, the identification number of the first card is inserted into the storage devices SR 1 u and SR 1 1.

Due to the distance between the auxiliary sensing point and the main sensing point and the time difference in card sensing at the two sensing points, it is necessary to provide several memory devices for storing the various identification numbers which are punched in the cards which pass through the sensing points one after the other. Suffice it to say, while the second card is being sensed at the auxiliary sensing point, the first card is being sensed at the main sensing point. After the first card has been sensed at the auxiliary sensing point, the contact P 18 is opened, so that the holding circuit for the relays Ä42 and i -43 is interrupted and the magnets MA SM and MA 5 1 are de-energized, whereby the contact arms SA 5 u and SA 5 1 are connected upstream to the second contacts of the groups CT 5 u and CT 5 t. In this way, a second group of memory devices is selected, namely the memory devices SR 2 u and SR 2 t for storing the identification number of the second card.

During the sensing of the second card at the auxiliary sensing point, if marker holes are sensed, circuits are closed by the sensing brushes 112, which results in the energization of the windings α of the relays R 42 and R 43 at times which are determined by the position of the sensed holes will. These circuits have already been specified above. The holding circuits for these relays run as follows: Main conductor 250, holding windings b of relays R42 and R43, winding of relay R44, switch 6 * 33, contact P 18, main conductor 251. The magnets MA 5 u and MA 5 1 are here again excited because of the closure of contact 7? 44ß. The closure of the contacts 42ß and R 43 b results in the emission of a number of current pulses which corresponds to the number of identification marks sensed. These current pulses go to the AL42M and AL-42i series magnets

of the second group of storage devices, namely in the following way: main conductor 250, magnets MA 2 u and MA 21, second contacts of group CT of relays SR 511 and SR 5 t, contacts i? 43 ^ and i? 42o, switch 5 "18, contact 158, main conductor 251. The identification number sensed by the second card at the auxiliary sensing point is thus introduced into the relays. After sensing the second card, the relays R 42 and R 43 and the magnets MA 5 u and MA 5 t as a result Opening of contact P18 de-energized. Immediately afterwards the contact arms SA 5 u and SA 5 1 of the relays SR 5 u and SR 5 t are connected upstream to the third contact of the groups CT 5 u and CT 5 1 , whereby current surges through the contact 158 to the Ballast magnets MA 3 ″ and MA 3 1 of the third group of storage devices arrive when the identification number is sensed from the third card at the auxiliary sensing point.

It has already been mentioned that while the second card is being sensed at the auxiliary sensing point, the first card is being started to be sensed at the main sensing point. It will now be described how the information sensed at the main sensing point which is to be reproduced on the particular film fields is stored and how the memory unit controls the film registration for this information. The registration of the information on the first film field is monitored directly by the card when it is scanned at the main sensing point, while the registration of the same information on all other film sections takes place under the control of the memory device in which the information scanned by the card is stored. When the value information to be reproduced on the film is sensed by the card at the main sensing point, the following circuits are closed by the sensing brushes 116: Main conductor 250, contact R21 b, windings α of relays R36 and R37, current conductor 192, brushes 116, contact roller 117, Contact P 15, current paths running parallel to each other with contact R3ok or R6f, contact 57, main conductor 251. The relays R 36 and R 37 are thus energized, creating the following circuits: main conductor 250, contact R 21b, holding coils & the relay R36 and i? 37, contact C12, main conductor 251. The relays thus remain energized during the sensing processes at the main sensing point. In sensing the value indications of the card, two operations occur simultaneously, viz

1. The registration of the sensed value indication on the first film section under direct Hole sensing from the card and

2. the storage of the sensed value indications in storage devices, e.g. B. the relay SR 8 and SRg.

In order to transfer the values to the storage devices, current surges are conducted via the cam contact 162 to the magnets Μ ^ ί8 and MAg by creating the following circuits: main conductor 250, magnets MA 8 and MA 9, contacts RiSf or R 18 h, contacts R 36 a or R 37 a, contact 162, main conductor 251. The magnets MA 8 and MAg are therefore several times in a row depending on the time at which the contacts i? 36 α and R37 α excited, whereby the contact arms SA 8 and SA 9 are connected upstream accordingly and represent the values sensed by the brushes 116 through their position.

The sensed values are registered on the first film section of the group under direct control of the hole sensing from the card by making the following circuit: main conductor 250, contact R 21, switch S26, light sources 175, current conductor 194, contacts R 31h and R 311 (the relay R 31 is excited after the first card has been sensed), brushes 116, contact roller 117, contacts-P15, R3ok, R6f and 57, main conductor 251. So light sources 175 are switched on at the times in which holes are sensed by the card at the main sensing point will. It has already been mentioned earlier that when the control magnets 209 for film transport are excited, the film 180 is moved intermittently by the registration section in synchronism with the intermittent movement of the punch card through its sensing point, so that at the times when the light sources are switched on by the sensing circuits of the punch card, the film section is exposed in the manner corresponding to the card punching, so that the duplication of the card punching takes place on the film section.

Each section of film on which the card punching is registered is counted by closing a circuit with each machine game, which brings about the introduction of a unit into a counting device SR 4 u until the relay R 30 is deenergized. This counting circuit runs as follows: Main conductor 250, magnet MA 4M, contacts 30 h, switch S13, contact Fg, main conductor 251. The magnet MA4U is thus excited and causes its contact to be connected in series.

poor SA 4 κ by one step in connection with his de-excitement.

At the end of the sensing process at the main sensing point, which may be remembered, the switching processes are interrupted at the end of the machine game, which is related to the fact that the relay R 30 is energized and its contact i? 3oa in the circuit of the card transport magnet is opened and that the relay i? 31 is excited by closing the contacts C n and i? 3o /. When the relay R 31 is energized, the contacts R 31 h to i? 3i k are opened, while the contacts R 31 α to R 31c are closed. When it closes, contact R 31 α produces a holding circuit for relay R 31, which remains closed until relay RSo is de-energized. The contacts R 31 b and i? 3ic establish a connection of the storage device SR8 or SRg with the light sources 175, so that with each machine game a film section is exposed in accordance with the information stored in the storage device until the number of exposed film sections corresponds to the identification mark number corresponds to which is punched in the controlling punch card and stored in the relays SR1 u and SR it. The registration circuits run as follows: main conductor 250, contact R2ib, switch 6 "26, light sources 175, current conductor 195, contacts R 31h and i? 31 c, contacts R ι 8 k and Ri8m, current conductor 240, contact arm SA8 or SAg, contact CT 8 or CTg, contact pieces 60a of the impulse transmitter 59α, brush 58α, switch 6 "25, Kontakti ⁷ 14, conductor 196, Kontakt57, main conductor 251. The light sources 175 are switched on and cause the generation of point symbols on the film section in those Times at which circuits are closed by the rush current device 59 α via the storage devices SR 8 and SRg. After the number of film sections given by the identification number has been exposed, the relay .R25 is energized and causes the deletion of the identification number and the values that are stored in the relays SRι u, SR 1 t, SR 8 and SRg , while others automatically Circuits are made so that the information from the next card can be registered on as much film as the identification number on that card indicates.

It is assumed, for example, that the identification number stored in the relays SR 1 u and SRi t is 15, so that the values stored in the relays SR 8 and SR 9 are to be registered on fifteen film segments. If the tenth film section has been registered during this film registration, then the magnet MA 4 u is excited and causes its contact arm SA 4 u to be connected in series, whereby the contact TC 411 is closed, a unit in the tens of the relay SR4t by producing the following circuit is introduced: main conductor 250, magnet MA4t, contact TC 4 u, main conductor 251. The magnet MA 41 is thus excited and, if it is de-excited in connection with the reset of the relay £ 7? 4 w an advance of the contact arm SA 41 onto contact 1 of the contact group CT'4t, whereby the number 10 is displayed. Closing contact TC411 also creates the following circuit: main conductor 250, contact C7, magnet Mi? 4 ", Kontaktei? 25cundrC4w, main conductor 251. The magnet MR411 is excited and causes the return of the contact arm SA4% to the basic position shown in Fig. 12c, so that this contact arm lies on the first contact piece of the group CT 41t, while the blocking of the contact TC 4 u is canceled. The arm ^. ^ 4 «can now again be connected step by step in connection with the upstream connection of a new film section until the arm comes to the fifth contact piece of the group, whereupon the following circuit is closed near the end of the machine game: main conductor 250, arm SA4t, contact ι of groups CT4t and CT τ t, arm SA 1 1, contact 1 of group T 7 1, contact arms SA 7ί and SAy 11, contact 1 of group CT 7 u, arm SAι u, contact 5 of group CT 1 u and CT'411, arm SA4U, relay winding R25, Kontaktei? 3og and C6, main current conductor 251. This short circuit causes the brief excitation of relay R 25 in this machine game. If then the contact F10 is closed, then the reset magnets of the relays SR411, SR4t, SR8, SRg, SRiu and SR11 are energized, namely

1. the magnet for the relay SR 411 through the circuit: main conductor 250, contact Cj, magnet Mi? 4%, contacts i? 25 d and R25g, switches D 5 and S15, contact F ro, main conductor 251;

2. the magnet for the relay .57? 4t through the circuit: main conductor 250, magnet MR 41, current conductor 197, contact i? 25 g, switches D 5 and S15, contact F 10, main conductor 25 r;

3. and 4. the magnets for the relays SR 8 and .ST? 9 through the following circuit: main conductor 250, magnet Mi? 8 and MR 9, current conductor 197, switch 5 "22, contact i? 25 g ·, switch i? 5 and 5" 15, contact F 10, main conductor 251;

5. the magnet for relay SR 1 u through the circuit: main conductor 250, magnet MSiu, contact 1 of group CT6u, contact arm SA 6 Ji ₁ contact 25g ·, switch D 5, and 5 "15, contact F10, main conductor 251 ;

6. Magnet for relay 57? 1 1 through the circuit: main conductor 250, magnet MR it, contact 1 of group CT 6 t, contact arm SA6t, current conductor 197, contact i? 25 g ·, switch Z) 5 and 5 "15, contact Fio, main conductor 251.

The excitation of the various magnets has the consequence that the contact arms of the aforementioned

six relays can be returned to their basic position, placing themselves against the first contact piece of the contact groups, whereby the values set in the relays are deleted. While the contact arms are being reset, there is a holding circuit for relay R 25, which runs as follows: main conductor 250, contact R 25 b, relay i? 35, contacts .R25 a and C 6, main conductor 251. Relay R 25 remains so energized during the reset processes. In addition to the specified circuits, the following circuits are also closed, in which the series magnets of the relays ΜΛ611, MA6t, MAy u and MAyt are located: Main conductor 250, magnets AL46w, MAyu, MA6t and MAy t, current conductor 157, contact i? 25f, switch D 5 and Si5, contact F10, main conductor 251. The four magnets mentioned are thus excited and, when de-excited, cause contact R 25 g to

is opened so that the associated contact arms SA6u, SAyu, SA6t and SAyt jump to the second contact piece of the associated Kbntaktgruppe, so that the second group of memory relays is effective, namely the relays SR2U and SR2t.

Near the end of the machine game, during which relay R 25 is energized, relay R 30 is de-energized because contact C10 is then opened and the holding circuit for relay R 30 is interrupted. The relay R 30 remains de-energized only during a period of time which is less than the duration of a machine cycle, namely until the contact Cio closes again during the next machine cycle.

During the period during which the relay R 30 is de-energized, the magnets 20 are excited as a result of the closure of the contact R 30 a, so that a card transport process is brought about and accordingly the second card is then passed through the main sensing point, while the third card is through the auxiliary sensing point goes.

The value information on the second card is sensed by the brushes 116 and causes the relays R 36 and i? 37 to be energized at times of the sensing section of the machine game determined by the position of the value holes, as has already been described. The values sensed from the card are recorded on the film as a result of the switching on of the light sources 175. The registration is carried out in the same way as has already been described, remembering that the sensed information is also stored in the storage relays SR & and .ST ? 9 can be saved. The further registration of the value information on the film then takes place under the control of the storage relays SR 8 and SR 9. The counting of the individual film sections on which the same information is registered takes place in exactly the same way as has already been explained. If the number that has been inserted into the counter relays SR 4 u and SR41 matches the control number that is in the second set of memory relays .57? 2 μ and SR 2 t is set, then the relay i? 25 energizes and causes a deletion of the data in the memory devices that have been active and the selection of the memory devices for the next data storage, in which the control number is stored, which is punched on the card which is soon to be supplied to the main sensing point.

The operations are for each card, which is the auxiliary sensing point and then the main sensing point is supplied, exactly the same as explained above.

Regarding the relays SR 5 u to Sr 7 u and SR 5 1 to SRy t it should also be mentioned that they are equipped with special contacts TC 5 u to TC yu and TC 5 t to TCy t , so that when the third Pulses are fed to the feed magnets of the relays, the corresponding transmission contacts are closed, so that the associated feedback magnets of the relays are excited and bring about the return of the contact arms to the first contact pieces of the group.

If the checking operations are to be carried out in connection with this mode of operation of the machine, then the punch cards are fed through the machine in the same way as has just been described for the purpose of duplicating the information on the film sections thereon. After the details of the punched cards have been registered in the film sections and the film has been developed, the film is reinserted into the machine so that the individual film sections can be sensed in synchronism with the punched cards corresponding to them. The start button is then pressed and the machine is brought into the ready position for uninterrupted operation in the manner described. The processes involved in checking the registration of the film sections will now be explained with reference to FIGS. 12 a to 12 d and 120. The switches remain in the same position for the checking process in which they were when the card details were registered on the film sections, apart from the switch S28, which is set to the FC position to cause the light sources 175 to be switched on continuously. If the film sections and the cards corresponding to them are then sent through the sensing stations in synchronism with one another, then the same control circuits are effective as have already been described in connection with the explanation of the duplication of cards on the film sections. Therefore, only additionally acting control circuits are to be specifically explained here.

During the preparatory machine games after pressing the starter button, the Memory relays returned to their basic position, whereupon the class information, which by the Brushes 112 at the auxiliary sensing point of the

Cards are sensed, an operation of the relay R 42 and i? 43, and thereby the introduction of the class information of the first card in the memory relays SR1 and u SR 1 1 due to closure of the contacts 42 and R α R b cause 43rd The class information of the second card is, as already explained earlier, in the relays SR 2 u and SR2t and the class information of the third card in the relays SR 3 u and .ST? 3 * stored and the class information of the fourth card in the relays SR ι u and SR ι ί etc. The values of the cards, ie the information that is to be compared with the point symbols generated in the film sections, are sensed by the brushes 116 of the main sensing point and control the action of the relays R 36 and R37 so that these values are stored in the storage relays SR 8 and 57? 9 are saved as a result of the closure of contacts R 36 a, R 37 a.

The brushes 116 produce electrical circuits through the windings α of the relays J-32 and i-33, which run as follows: main conductor 25o, contact i-2i b, windings α of the relays R 32 and i-33, contacts R 3 lh and R311, brushes 116, contact roller 117, contacts P 15, i? 3o £ and R6f, contact 57, main conductor 251. Sensing the point symbols on the film, which are to be checked, also closes circuits, which contain the windings b of the relays i? 32 and i? 33. These circuits are as follows: main conductor 250, contacti? 2i b, relay windings b of relays R 32 and i? 33, contacts 262 and 57, main conductor 251. If both windings α and windings b of relays i? 32 and i? 33 are energized at the same time, the relays remain ineffective. At the end of the first probing machine game for the value information on the card, the relays R 30 and J? 31 energized and interrupt the further card transport until the relay R 25 is energized, ie until all sections of the film to which the value information of the card are transferred have been checked and compared with the information which ⁴ S in the storage devices vST? 8 and SR 9 are set. In the mode of operation under discussion here, it is only necessary to use a group of storage devices SR 8 to SR 11. It is therefore the relay R 18 superfluous and is therefore switched off by the switches D 2 and D 3 of the effective circuits.

To check the number of film sections on which the card details are registered to ensure that they match the stored numerical data, the following circuits are established for each machine game until the number of film sections checked is equal to the number set in the memory relay: main conductor 250, contact i ? 21 &, relay coils α of relays R 32 and i? 33, contacts R 31 b and i? 3ic, switch 5 "29 or 6 * 30, current conductor 240, storage relay SR 8 and SRg, impulse transmitter 59α, switch S 25, contact jF 14, current conductor 196, contact 57, main current conductor 251. Circuits are also closed by the windings b of the relays R 32 and R 33, namely as follows: main conductor 250, contact R 21 b, windings & the relays 7-32 and i ? 33, contacts 262 and 57, main conductor 251. As long as these circuits are closed at the same time, relays i? 32 and i? 33 remain de-energized and permit uninterrupted machine operation , the relay i? 9 is energized and interrupts the operation of the machine, as described above.

Each time a film section is checked, a unit is introduced into the counter relays SR 4 u and SR4t under the action of a cam contact F 9, which is short-circuited with each machine cycle until the number of film sections checked corresponds to the number set in the corresponding memory relay. If the settings of the counting relay and the memory relay match, the relay i? 25 is energized, as already described, and causes the reset of the memory relays to their basic position and the de-energization of the relays i? 3O and R 31, so that the card transport processes as a result of closure of the contact i? 3oa can be picked up and the next card is fed to the main sensing point so that its value punching can be compared with the corresponding point symbols in the film fields.

F. Card punching under the control of films

with special identification marks

The explanation of the mode of operation in which card punching is carried out under the control of the dot symbols of sample film sections and the checking of the cards punched in this way will be given with reference to FIGS. 12 to 12d and 12p. For this mode of operation, the control switches 5 "are to be brought into the FC position and the switches D 1 to D 10 in the ^ ϊ position. The contact SK 2 is then to be kept closed by pressing the starter button until the The machine is prepared for automatic continuous operation.

The dot symbols, which on the film sections indicate the number of cards which are to be produced for the individual film sections, are sensed at the auxiliary sensing point for the film and control the action of the relays R 266 and cause the relays R 42 and i? 43 to be energized in the times corresponding to the sampling times of the point symbols. When the relay .Si? 42 and .ST? 43, the storage relays SR 5 u and SR 5 1 are effective and successively select the storage devices for the value information, which of three groups of

Relays are formed, namely a first group SR ι u and SR 1 t, a second group SR 2 u and SR ¹ Zt and a third group 57? 3 w and SR ^ t. After a group of these relays has been selected, the point symbols representing the value are sensed from the film fields and introduced into the storage relays under supervision by the relay contacts R 42 α and R 42 b and the contact 160. After the information relating to the number of punched cards to be produced has been stored, the point symbols, which represent values in a sample film, are sensed at the main sensing point and thereby control the relays 261, which in turn control the action of the relays R 36 and R 37 . The excitation of the relay I? 36 and 37 at the points in time corresponding to the position of the point symbols on the film section causes the information to be duplicated in perforated letters in the card to be entered in the storage devices which are formed by the relays SR8 and SRg. The actuation of the relays 261 also brings about the excitation of the punch magnets 66 with time monitoring. If the information of a controlling film section is set in such a manner in hole writing on the first card of a card group, then the relay R 31 is actuated, whereby the storage devices SR 8 and .ST? 9 for the values of the film tape section for controlling the excitation of the punching magnets 66 in accordance with the stored information. For each punch card produced, a 1 is inserted into the counter relays SR 4 u and 57? 4i. If the number which is set in such a way in the latter relays corresponds to the number which is in one of the selected memory devices (SR 1 u and SR11 ; SR 2 u and SR 2t; SR 3 u and SR 3 1) , then that will be Relay R 25 energized, whereby the reset operations for the memory devices are monitored, so that the stored information is deleted. The resetting processes are, as may be recalled, tied to the closing of the contacts R2 $ d, R 25 g and Py . When relay # 25 is energized, relays SA 6m, SAbt, SA 7 u and SA 7 1 are actuated and select the storage device for the following data storage. The energization of the relay R 25 also causes the de-energization of the relay Ä30, whereby the film transport device for a machine game becomes effective, so that the next film section is connected upstream for sensing at the auxiliary and main sensing point, whereupon the processes just described for those on this Repeat the existing information in the section.

Provision has been made that, in this mode of operation of the machine, the checking operations are carried out while the card punching is being carried out, but one machine game later than this. In order to explain the test processes, the following information is sufficient after the detailed explanations given above for the card punching for this mode of operation and the test processes for the described modes of operation. After the number indicating the number of duplicates required has been entered into one of the groups of storage devices, e.g. B. has been introduced into the group SR 1 u or SR11 , the value indications of the film section are sensed, whereby the excitation of the punch magnets 66 and the introduction of this information is brought about in the storage relays for value indications, which the latter control the data duplication in the cards after the first card under direct film control is punched. After the film section has been sensed, as already mentioned, the relay 31 is energized, as a result of which the punch magnets 66 are switched off from the contacts 262 of the relays 261. During a machine game later taking value from the storage relay, e.g. relay 67? 8 and SRg, the impulses that occur are passed through contacts R 31 b and R 31 c as well as R 6 g and R6h (the relays R6, Ri8 and Ä31 are energized during this machine game), whereby punching processes and comparison processes are brought about. The time-monitored current impulses conducted via the contacts i-3ifr and i-3ic reach the punching magnets 66 via plug-in connections, so that the excitation of the magnets 66 takes place at times corresponding to the stored values. The current impulses coming via the contacts R6g and R6h are conducted via the windings b of the comparison relays Ä32 and i-33. The windings α of these relays are excited by current surges caused by the main sensing brushes 116 which sense the card punched in the previous machine game. As long as there is agreement between the data compared, the relays i? 32 and i? 33 remain ineffective; However, if a difference in the compared information is found, then the relays are energized and cause the energization of the relay R 9, whereby the automatic operation of the machine is interrupted.

If the compared information agree with each other, then the card duplication is continued under the control of the value information in the storage units until the number which is set in the counting relays SR4.U and SR ^ t and indicates the number of punch card duplicates required equals the number is which in the selected group of storage relays, e.g. B. in the group SR 1 u and SR 1 1, is. If these two settings agree with one another, then the relay R 25, as explained above, is energized and causes the reset of the memory relays.

It should also be mentioned that when the relay R 25 is energized, the contacts assigned to it 25 £ are closed, which causes the relay R 28 to be energized when the contact P 7 is closed at the end of the machine game. A holding circuit for relay i? 28 runs via contacts R 28 b and P10. The excitation of the relay i? 28 has the consequence that the relay R 15 responds and by closing the contacts R 15 α and C 5

is kept closed. The reset circuits described are then established via the contact RiSb. In the operating mode of multiple card punching under film control, as discussed here, combined with checking processes, the resetting processes must be delayed by one machine play, which is caused by the effectiveness of the relays R28 and i? I5.

When it is excited, relay R 18 controls the selection of the groups of relays storing value information as well as the removal of stored information via its contacts R 18 /, Ri8k, Ri8l and Ri8m, so that the current surges generated according to the stored information under time monitoring to the punching magnets and the comparison relay.

The facilities explained above for checking the correspondence of point symbol information On a film with punch marks in counting cards, you can also apply to films and punched cards Apply, some of which are not considered duplicates of the other by means of the establishment have been generated according to the invention. The invention thus also includes test devices of the kind explained, which are responsible for the duplication of values - be it in the form of Point symbols on a film, be it in the form of perforations in counting cards - necessary registration devices, z. B. punch, are absent, although such registration organs are usually provided will be, as they will greatly expand the application possibilities of the device is achieved with relatively little effort.

Claims (6)

Patent claims: 1. Device for transmitting the information on a recording medium (e.g. a punch card) to another (e.g. a film tape with dot symbols) under the control of the registration organs by interchangeable connection with the sensing organs, characterized by the use of two sets of sensing and recording organs, the first set of which the scanning or punching of counting cards and the second set of optical scanning of recordings (preferably point symbols) on films or for photographic purposes Labeling of films is used and of which optionally the sensing organs of a sentence are used Control of the registers of the other set, and vice versa, can be used. 2. Apparatus according to claim 1 for reproducing information from recording sheets taking into account the presence special identification markings (e.g. class or group identification) on the recording sheets, characterized in that that means for comparing identification marks of the recording sheets with in Storage units set values are provided through which the reproduction of Details of a recording sheet brought as a function of the comparison result (2. B. Exclusion of selected recording sheets from duplication or by selecting fields in the duplicate). 3. Device according to claims 1 and 2, characterized in that storage units for Values to be reproduced and, for special ones, the number of duplicates Marks are provided on the recording sheets by which the machine operation when duplicating the value information is monitored in such a way that it is until it is reached the number of pieces determined and stored by the special mark is continued. 4. Apparatus according to claim 1, characterized in that that for the information on duplicated information carriers (e.g. punch cards or Films with dot symbols) sensing elements are provided which control a comparison device for the information on the recording medium originals with those act on the duplicated information carriers. 5. Device according to claims 1 and 4, characterized in that it is equipped with a device for stepwise switching and synchronous sensing of corresponding counting points of film and card and that the corresponding columns of the film and the cards sensing organs (z. B. light cells for the point symbols and contact brushes for the cards) each a control element for the machine operation (e.g. relay R 32 to R 35 in Fig. 12 f) is assigned to which the same, as is known, every time a point symbol or a card hole is sensed, oppositely directed impulses are exerted, so that the controls remain ineffective as long as there is agreement, but affect the machine operation (z. B. stop and operate a display device) if a lack of conformity is detected. 6. Device according to claims 1 to 5, characterized in that each of a sensing element for a film column and a sensing element for a card column jointly assigned control element (i? 32 to R 35) also has a memory device of ■ twin character (SΆ 8 and SAg or respectively . SAτο and SAτι) is assigned for point symbol values duplicated in perforated letters, the halves of which alternately record the duplicated point symbol value in connection with the card punching and then experience a reading of the set value in synchronism with the reading of the hole values of the card columns, with the storage unit and card on the control device (R 32 to R 35) exert opposing force pulses in the value of appropriate time monitoring, so that a control of the machine operation depending on the agreement or Inconsistency between the value in the storage unit and the hole value in the Card comes about.
