Similarly all the cards from the magazine S pass to a receiving magazine 0,, with the exception of those S-cards which contain an indicatipn corresponding to one or more of the M-cards. These S-ca-rds pass to the receiving magazine'O immediately behind the S-cards which exhibit the same indication.
  • rollers 2 and 2 one card from each which are provided with a number of holes equal to the number ofspaces for perform tions that may occur in the cards are arranged in the same manner.
  • feeler plates Above the feeler plates is located the feeler apparatus subsequently further described by means of which sets of feeler pins 5 are moved up and down and can thus pass through the holes in the cards.

  • the number of rods 7 provided is the same as the number of possibilities of holes in the cards in the columns examined. In general there will be room for ten holes in each column, so that for each column twenty rods 7 are present, namely ten under the feeler plate 3 and ten under the feeler plate 3
  • the corresponding rods 7 are all coupled together in pairs (for example the rod for the hole 2 under the feeler plate 3,, with the rod for the hole 2 under the feeler plate 3 and so on for all the columns) by means of double-armed levers 8, which are so arranged upon a. rod 10 as to be rotatable about'shafts 9, one such rod 10 being provided for each column of the cards for which the feeling operation takes place.
  • the connection of the rods 7 to the levers 8 is hingedly arranged.
  • the rods 10 are slidably mounted in upper and lower fixed guides 68 so as to be capable of sliding vertically and are maintained in the upper position shown by means of springs 11 attached to a cross beam 67 itself secured to the frame of the apparatus, and are each provided at the lower end with two notches 12 and 13.
  • each of the guides 68 is formed with a plurality of notches 69 for guiding the rods 10, the open ends of these notches being closed by a retaining bar 70.
  • the upper guide 68 is fixed to the plate 6, while the lower guide 68 is fastened to a cross-beam '71 itself secured to the frame of the machine.
  • crank levers 15 can move when all the rods 10 are depressed, while int-he depressed condition of any one rod 10 the head of one of a set of bell crank levers 16 cannot enter the notch 12, which it is quite able to do when its corresponding rod 10 is in the position illustrated.
  • the bell crank levers 15 and 16 of which the number present is equal to the number of columns to be tested (seven for the'example illustrated in Fig. 5) are rotatably arranged on shafts 17 and 18.
  • a single beam 14 By the Into the notches 13 a single beam 14, which is'secured to the heads of hell.
  • the lever 4 is attached to two levers 27 secured to a shaft 26.
  • a lever 28 which can rotate loosely about the shaft and a lever 29, which is rigidly connected to the'shaft.
  • the levers 28 and 29 are coupled together by means'of a spring 30, whilethe lever 28 is connected with the rod 25.
  • On the shaft 26 is also fitted a piece provided with a slot 31, into which the previously mentioned rod 32 (that is 32 or 32 connected with the beam 23 can be pushed. It will be seen from Fig. 5 that the upper end of the rod 32 slides in a fixed guide in order to provide sufficient strength for locking the shaft 26.
  • the motor 65 drives a shaft 41.by means of pulleys 39, 40.
  • a pinion 42 is fixed on this shaft 41 and engages with a tooth-wheel 43 mounted on a shaft 44.
  • On the latter shaft also a helical gear wheel 45 is fixed,
  • a cam disc 48 On the shaft 44 a cam disc 48 is mounted,-which causes a bell crank lever- 49 to pivot about a fixed axle 50. This causes the said knives lg -and 1, to guide the cards from each of the magazines S and M bethe knife 1 brings a card out of the maga- ,tween the sets of feeler plates 3 and 3,.
  • the bell crank lever 49 is pressed against the cam disc 48 by means of aspring 66.
  • the correspondingrods 10 bethe cards for which agreementis to bev ing depressed against the action of their springs 11 and locked in this position, for example by means of-a pin on the appara t'us.
  • I v 5 Furthermore the lever 56 rotatable about the shaft 24 is moved'by hand into the mid position, in which case neither the knives 1', and 1 nor the levers 4,-and 4 are locked against movemeht.
  • the levers 4, and 4 are likewise placed in the closing. ositlon, whereby the discharge of cards bot ion the S-side and on the M-side is prevented, the locking however not being so placed that the removal of an'obstruction is impossible.
  • the M-card has by means of three holes the indication 007, the resultboth on the lea' ing action is as follows For the first two columns and on the right (that is, at 3, and 3...) the so that, for both columns the rod 10 is moved downwards. For the third column, however, the feeler pin comes down at 3; for the numeral 1 and at 3,, 'for the numeral 7 This merely has the result that two of the transverse arms 8 are to some extent rotated so that the rod 10 belonging to this column does not come-down.
  • levers 34 In this space are arranged beyond the feeler plate 3 two levers 34. These levers 34 are secured to a common shaft 3'5,'while .by means of springs 36, two-pawls 37, which 139 are each provided with a notch 38, are drawn towards the levers.
  • the apparatus is also provided with a device by means of which it is automatically stopped when during the feeling operation there "is a card between the feeler plates on one side only.
  • V Merely one set of mechanism with one electric switch is needed; apparently on the M side. All the S cards have to pass through the machine successively in numerical order without interruption, for example where there are only a few M cards to'be tested, and it is obvious that as soonas there are no M cards in the M magazine, there is no reason for the rest of the S cards which have not passed through the feeler plates as yet to be acted upon. At this moment the machine is stopped, and the remaining pile of S cards is taken out of the magazine S. Y
  • an extra feeler pin 72 is employed on the M 'side and is moved downwards by the lever 61 (Fig. 2) together with the common feeler pins. If there is a card betwen the feeler lates the extra feeler pin 72, which must e spring mounted, cannot pass and remains above the feeler plates. If-there is no card between the feeler plates, the extra feeler pin 72 passes through the plate and causes the pawl '7 3 to turn, thereby permitting the spring 78 to unlock the lever 77 out of contact, and so stop the apparatus.
