Application filed April 1, 1901. Serial No. 385,718.
Be it known that I, Rrcrmnn TOENNES, a citizen of the United States, resi at Boonville, in the county of Cooper an State of Missouri, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Station-Indicators, of which the following is a specification.
' r This invention is a stat on indicator of the double reel and web type and having for-its:
object to provide improved meansfor actuating the reels to take'up the web as the car.
,the web may be rewound bnthe; ormer reel,

, portion of the operative mechanism,shown in l indicates a casing having a glass Fig. '3- is a sectional end elevation showing the, 0 mt mechanism.v F g. 4 is a sectiona view 0 the operating connection to the car'axle. Fig. 5 is a perspective view-'of-:,a

From the reel 8 the web IJIIS over a-barblO, toexhibit the same plainly, and is taken up on the up er or take up reel 7 which also has a s uare shaft 6 to receive a'key for winding w en desired.-
The car axle D has an eccentric-E thereon, with a strap and connecting rod joined to a flexible top or cover Gon a cup shaped casing H, forming a pump or bellows in which the air is alternately com re'ssed and expanded the reciprocation o the eccentric rod. A 1pc X extends from said bellows to a similar lows or pneumatic 11 which has a flexible cover '1 1 connected to a lever. 11 which is pivoted to a standard 11 ;-projecting from a ring 1 1 which serves to hold the cover 1 1 on the neumatic and also to support the parts on t e cross-pieces 12 whichare fixed to the casing.

The ratchet 2 is connected bya wrist pin 2 with a allet 2 held by a s ring 2 in contact with a i arge ratchet 4 on t shaft of the reel 7. A
s'prm pawl-3 prevents back slip of the ratchet "*2-"an a similar pawl 4 performs'a like service for the ratchet 4.
.'To disengage the pallet 2 and pawl 4 i from the ratchet 4 a bent lever '5 is pivoted at 5, with one arm behind said pallet andpawl and the other projecting through the top of the casing. By pressing the lever down, the

A s ring-8 bears against the reel 8 and prevents o'ose running or slip thereof.
