TELEPEONE-BECORD TICKET PACK.

Application filed December 17, 1925.

The present device meets the very specialized requirements oi teleplnme switchboard station operation, and its novelty consists in the means employed to meet these reipiirements. in the manag cinent oi these stations where tolls are collected, a very rapid identiliratkm ot' the call both by the telephone number at the caller and the called must be made by the operator and noted by her, and the name oi? the caller es-- pecially and information concerning the call must he made into a. storm-permanent record. much o'l. which business reasons, and in some localities legal reasons as well, re-

' quire shall be kept confidential :lrom even the most of the employees ot the company, who would have casual access to these records, and even be used to do minor things with reterence to them. These records should he in a form that is easily produced without copying, and they must be lilahle and the tiles he kept easily up to date, and the records be removable and separable in some cases. This has resulted betorc :my invention in the use ct ticket systems in various terms, and my ticket pack an improvement by which the requirements of switchlmard accounting are more readily and completely secured than heretofore.

Fig. l is a lace view o't one of the two tickets of the pack; and Fig. 2 is a face view of the other ticket. Fi e 3 is a face view of the pack in a position iljor semi-confidential tiling; l io'. at is a side elevation of severalv packs with a sulaieribefis 'liolder; Fin. 5 is a lace view of the pack arranged for tall conlidenl'ial filing and Fig. (l is a elevation of a stack of unfilled-in that they can be removed individually from the stack quickly and certainly by the operator, who must not be obliged to give any attention to them except to reach to the stack. "he :lolded-ovcr--end lOl'ltl of ticket best serves this purpose because enough spring will always ixist in the tickets to separate the ticket at the end of the pack from those below it. A stack of tickets is shown in Fig. 6.

The two tickets that term the pack are made to work together to meet these re (pnrements. The report ticket the face of which is shown when the flap 9 is folded out on a level with the body 1, shown in Fig. "1. has the line of folding shown by the Serial No. 76,046.

dash and dot line 7. and has below the third heavy line (3 the blanks tor the more contidentinl int'ormation so. that when the [lap is l'ohled upward, it will cover all below that line. .As the lemlency ot the ticket is to take this position, the more confidential ini'ormation is normally covered. These tickets when tilled out are usually stacked and dispatched to the audit room by messengers who cannot readily pry into the contents of the stacks, especially the information under the folded-over part, This ticket contains the taller details oi? the call, on the normally exposed port ion between the top and line (5, and also a large space for confidential remarks, in the space usually covered by the llap, and also under this space the names or numbers ol. the persons concerned in making the connection or record or both. This ticket is usually sullieient to justify its use as above described.

However, it is not usually suliicient prol'crtion to allow its use in tiling; where my complete device employing both tickets in a pack is used. liu Fig. 2 is shown the lace oi? another ticket having the body :3 and the llap -l normally :l'olded over on the dash and dot li1 9 so that: the body I3 and the liap -l-, are substantially each ol the same length as the ticket shown in Fig. l. This ticket has its face quite dill'erent from the face oil? the ticlwt shown in Fig. l. The names of the render and receiver a re omitted and only the telephone numbers are given and when the llap l is turned up, the mine of the llap reacheslhe heavy line ll) and covers everything except the sender's telephone number and place and such marks as may be placed in the spaces above i i-c111. The lower space on the ticket has spaces for entriesunder cypher notation and some information not particularly important. This ticket can be sent rather freely by messenger. l lowever, its really iun iortant use is in connection with the report ticket, as shown in l io's. 4- and 5 especially. lly plac inn; the back of the body 3 on the face ol' the body 1, with the llap t covered by the llap 2, in an ordinary card tiling box or other suitable tiling receptacle 15. the confidential portions are securely protected from examination by a person sent to the tiles to fetch a particular item, especially so, it the faces were pinned together by a pin 12. or otherwise rena *ably fastened together. These tickets are packed light ill) IOU

enough in. filing to prevent the examination of the matter under the flaps without removing the filed papers. It is obvious person could be sent to fetch a particular pack and permitted to get them from the files without such person being able to get any information beyond the number of the telephi'ine sending a call as that is all that would ordinarily project above the top of the tiling box, and the bulk of the folded-over flaps and backs being greater than the upper part of the back alone, permitting the lower part of the tickets to be packed tightly yet leaving the app parts to be pressed apart to search for the telephone numbers of the senders. VJhen a peek having the number i he telephone of the sender has been lo,- cated, should it be required to identify the pack by the place called or the telephone number of the receiver, a very slig it lift of the 3218i; of two ticketswill enable these to b seen as both he on the face of ill; body, 3, just below the upper edges of the turner flaps. But this slight lifting will not be sutliclent to disclose anything more on either ticket. No file messenger n-eet do more than this under any circumstances. If the tile messenger endeavored to pry into the tiles therefore, he would be sure of detection in a very short time. The two tickets can lie together shown in Fig. 3, when on the auditors or eriecutives desk without undue publicity while Very readily accessible to him to gain all the information contained in them without risk of the two tickets becoming separated.

I claim:

A ticket pack consisting of a pair of tickets of substantially the same shape and size, each folded at substantially the same distance from the top into a body portion and a flap, the flap of each ticket folding over a portion only of the body of each ticket and covering and hiding the face of the lower portion of said body, the lower portion of each of these tickets where the said face would be covered by the flap, containing appropriately designated spaces for confidential information, each of said pair of tickets containing different printed-matter from the other, and the said tickets being packed in pairs. each pair consisting of one ticketof each kind, both folding the sameway and the flaps lying in the. sa Q1 and flap of one enclosing the body and flap of the other the inner ticket having on the upper part of its face an appropriately des- I ated space for the telephone number ot the sender and upon the part ctwered'by the flaps an approximately designated space for the number of the receiving telephone. and covering; and concealing all matter on the face of the enclosing ticketand all matter on the enclosed ticket above the turned up flaps being concealed thereby, said bodies of said tickets being pinned together.
