  • This. invention relatesA to improved apparatus l'or record controlled or other machines and more particularly to devices Vfor rapidly converting a combination reading into a single reading.
  • n mechanical n
  • aA plurality of brushes were employed for reading the comy' binational record in which case the record could' be -in motion when the readings were la' taken.
  • a single brush can be employed for sensing the records or other representation of a combinational reading while the representation is in motion.
  • This brushcontrols translating devices which may include set-up contacts for temporarily retaining the combinational reading and afterwards translating the combinational reading into a single reading.
  • the translating operation canbe eflfected by rotary devices whereby high speed operation can be obtained'.
  • Fig. 1 is a side view largely diagrammatic showing the principal features of my invention.
  • Fig. 2 isa combinational code for numbers.
  • Fig. 3 is a plan view partly in section of the devices in Fig. 1 together with a portion of an accumulator.
  • Fig. 4 is a front view of the magnet and vlatching devices shown in the lower half of 50 Fig. 1, the view being taken on the line i-4.
  • Fig. 5 is an end view.of the bottom half' Fig. 6 is a circuit diagram of the lelectric features of the device.v Although my invention may be used in connectionwith a varietyr of card-controlled devices I am for purposes of illustration ⁇ Showing it in connection with aHollerith type of accumulator, the outline of whichV is shown at 10 in Figs. land 3. y
  • Adjacent the accumulator is a framework Supporting most ofthe parts of the present invention. This framework'is not shown in full but is'represented by main plate 12 and supplementary plate 14.
  • gear 18 mounted on the main shaft 16 is a gear 18 driven by any outside source of power such as motor 2O represented diagrammatically in Fig. 6 which through a belt 22, shaft 24 and gear 26 drives gear 18.
  • Gear 28 fast on shaft 16 through idler gears 30, 32 and 34 drives gear 36 fast on shaft 38 so that shaft 38 rotates at the same speed as shaft 16 both making one revolution per card cycle as does also shaft 40 on which are mounted the make and break cams 42 and 44 (Figs. 1, 3 and 6) lwhich operate the conventional make and break contacts 46 and 48 once per card cycle in the well known manner.
  • Fast 0n shaft 16 are four disk cams 50 each havinga small hump 52 and a larger hump 54. Underneath each cam 50 is a c0- operating horizontal lever pivoted at 62 and having an upstand'ng hump 64 directly x under shaft 16. Lever 60 is drawn upward by a spring 66. Resting on the free end of lever 60 is a vertical push rod 68'. l
  • each lever 60 Depending from each lever 60 is a Vertical arm having at its lower 'end a hookf72 and near its middle an armature 74 so placed that arms 70 are drawn t0 the right when magnet'76 is energized. vWhen magnet 7 6 is deenergized arm 70 is held to the left by a spring 7 8. 76 is a double magnet as shown in Fig. 4 and when it is energized all four arms 70 are drawn towards the right.
  • 4B and D mean 4; at B and C the meaning is 8, while a single perforation means 2, etc.
  • each :ard column There is one set of four cams 50 for each :ard column and each of the four cams corresponds to one code positionv A, B, C or D.
  • any cam is at its lowest position in contact with hump 64 on lever 60 at the same instant the brush 82 is in .contact with the can move to the right that being the one which at that instant is depressed as in Fig. 5 by hump 52 on the cam 50 corresponding to that particular. arm 70.
  • This construction means thatbrushes A and B are ⁇ connected together electrically, and brushes C and D are likewise connected electrically.
  • Fig. 6 are shown diagrammatically three "sets of 50 cams, one set for each of the three:
  • a circuit is formed as follows :Al from upper-side of line 120, through wire 122, contact100 at D position, wire 124, strip 108.1to which12 4 is attached, D brush, C brush, strip 108, wire 126, lower contact 102 .at C position, lower contact 1102 at B .po-4
  • Contacts 134 andmagnet 136 are shown in position in the accumulator in the uppeil part of Fig. 3 in which also 140 represents' the dierential clutch device, all of which features are Well linoWn in the tabulating art. l Although I have shown no printing devices it is Well known that the results set up in the accumulator may be printed on Arecord sheets and my inventionextends to such use.
