  • Certainother improvements incorporated in the relay system of the skipping mechanism are for the purpose of providing an efficient operation of the improved skipping mechanism, so that such operations may be -eiiiciently performed and exactly in accordance with the predetermined plan.
  • Another objectv of the present invention is to provide a novel electrical control system for the duplicating mechanism of the punching machine, and wherein the initiation .of the duplicating function may be performed under control of an initial perforation in the control card and may be terminated by a succeeding perforation in the same control card.
  • the sequence of operation may be varied, and by the provision of this flexible relay system duplicating and cut-out of the duplicating operations may be effected in a predetermined sequence.
  • Still another object of the present invention is to provide means, which preferably actsupon the completion of the last function performedwith respect to the last card field, so that the parts utilized in this last funtcion are restored to normal thereby conditioning at this time all of the parts to normal,to enable the initial function which is performed on the first card field of the succeeding card to be performed in a more eicient manner.

  • the present machine is adapted to perform four different functions with respect to a card and in order to select or determine the functions to be performed as the successive card fields are to be operated upon, the analyzing mechanism pre-analyzes the card I0 to thereby control such functions. Since four different functions are capable of being carried out by selection, a corresponding number of horizontal rows are appropriated, which at the intersecting selected vertical card columns receive perforations to initiate the operation of certain means so as to cause the machine to function in a certain way. The manner in which these different functions are carried out under control of the control card I0 will be further explained as the specification progresses.

  • control of a pattern card for causing the operainitiated, manually controlled means for controlling the operation of said punching mechanism to punch said work card step by step, and means cooperatively relatedI with said analyzing means and operable in accordance with the position said 'carriage is in when manual punching operations are terminated and when said perfora- .tion is analyzed for causing the operation of electrical control means under control of the analyzing means to eiect the automatic operation of said duplicating mechanism.
  • an escapement mechanism for said carriage for enabling said carriage to be escaped, step by step, concomitant with manual punching operations, a control means for said escapement mechanism Afor disabling the latter to enable the card carposition of the carriage to initiate the skipping v of said carriage, and for causing said other perforation to eifect when the carriage has been skipped a predetermined number of columns the operationof the-second named control means to cause the stopping of said carriage after it has been moved to skip a predetermined number of columns.
  • a duplicating mechanism for rendering .said duplicating mechanism effective and-a supplemental control means for rendering ⁇ said duplicating mechanism subsequently ineifective.
  • analyzing means for analyzing a record provided with perforations at of said carriage, the combination with a card predetermined columnar positions, means operable concomitantly with the step by step position of said carriage for causing when successive manual punching operations are completed one of said perforations at a predetermined columnar position to render the nrst named control means effective to automatically initiate duplicating operations, and means operable at the termination of the aforesaid duplicating operations to render said supplemental control means effective to render said duplicating mechanism
