WITNE'EIEEE: lNVENTUR HiSA'F-TURNEY S is depressed its associated lever is vibrated 1 tacts with the bail or universal bar 30, vi-

brates the lever 31 and causes the shoe 34 to lift the feed rack out of engagement with the escapement pinion 36, whereupon the until the first one of the column stops 4 meets and is arrested by the downwardly pulled denominational stop 5 in its path. when the key 8 is relieved of pressure the parts ,8, 6 and 5 are restored to normal posltion by the spring 17 and the lever 31 is restored to normal position by the carriage feed rack 35 which as usual is restored by means of a spring, not shown, the feed rack reengaging the pinion and thus putting the carriage again in control of the escapement mechanism, comprising as usual the escapement wheel'39 and two dogs on. the dog rocker 4O actuable by a train of connecting devices comprising rods and levers, and a universal bar 41 underlying the type bar key levers 16, as customary.

As shown in Fig. 3 the set of denominational stops 5 are arranged close together a letter space distance apart and in order to effect this arrangement the rods or bars 6 carrying said stops are condensed or made to converge, inasmuch as the lower ends of said bars or rods where they connect with the key levers .8 are spaced or spread apart corresponding to the spacing of the said key levers S. 1'

What I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is

1. In a typewriting machine and tabulating mechanism, the combination with a carriage having one or more column stops, of a series of denominational stopsarranged above the plane of travel of said column stops, :1 series of key levers fulcrumed at the 7 rear of the machine extending substantially horizontally forward to the key-board of the machine and terminating above and at the rear side of the same, and a series of rods extending from said denominational stops and pivotally connected at their lower ends to said series of key levers.

2. In a typewriting machine and tabulating mechanism, the combination with a carriage having one or more column stops, ot' a series of denominational stops arranged above the plane of travel of the said stops, downwardly acting rods carrying said denominational stops, a series of forwardly extending key levers to which said rods are pivoted, a carriage escapement mechanism, and means carried by said downwardly extending rods for disengaging the carriage from its escapement mechanism when the said forwardly extending key levers are depressed.

' 3. In a typewriting machine and tabulating mechanism, the combination with a carriage having one or more column stops, of

'a series of denominational 'stops'arranged carriage will travel freely toward the left.

above the plane of travel of said column stops and having downwardly extending pull rods, a series of key levers to which said pill]. rods are pivoted, a carriage escapement mechanism comprising a pinion and a hinged feed rack, a lever-carrying means for disengaging said feed rack from said pinion, and a-series of projections on said pull rods for actuating said lever to disengage said feed rack from said pinion when said pull rods are drawn down by said key levers.

4t. In" a typewriting machine and tabulating mechanism, the combination with a carriage having one or more column stops,'of a bracket or frame extending above said column stops and formed or provided with a series of parallel slots,a series of denominational stops arranged within said slots and having downwardly extending'rod portions, a series of key levers to which the lower ends of "said rod portions are pivoted, a guide comb for said rods, lugs or fingers on said rods, a lever adapted to be actuated by said lugs or fingers, an escapement mechanlsm comprising a rack and a p1n1on, and

means on said lever for lifting said rack out of engagement with said pinion when said rods and denominational stops are pulled down.

5. In a typewriting machine and tabulating mechanism, the combination with a carriage having one or more column stops, of

a series of denominational stops arranged above the plane of travel of said column stops, a series of key levers fulcrumed at the rear of the machine above the type bar key levers and passmg forwardly between the type bar connecting rods and terminating in keys at-the frontof the machine above the typewriter ke vboard, and pivotal connections between said forwardly extending key levers and said denominational stops.
