(2.) Mechanism for issuing tickets from a continuous strip of previously printed tickets, a multiplicity of movable punches or perforators arranged within the machine, means for indexing said punches to positions to punch or perforate each ticket at predetermined points before said ticket is issued from the machine, and means for holding each punch or perforator in its indexed position, substantially as described. (3.) A transportation ticket having indicated thereon a series of parallel lines of data transversely of the ticket, the data in each of said lines appertaining to one subject-matter, substantially as set forth. (4.) A transportation ticket having data indicated thereon in a series of parallel lines longitudinally of the ticket and in a series of lines transversely of the ticket, the data in each of the said transverse lines appertaining to one subject-matter, substantially as set forth.

(Specification, 2s. 3d.)

No. 19062.—7th March, 1904.—ROBERT WALLACE, of Ellerslie, Castle Douglas, Kirkcudbrightshire, Scotland, Agricultural-implement Maker. Improvements in and relating to milking-appliances.

[NOTE.—This is an application under section 106 of the Act, the date given being the official date of the application in Great Britain.]

Claims.—(1.) In milking-appliances, the combination of a motor with each individual double-walled cup, substantially as set forth. (2.) In milking-appliances, a motor with each individual double-walled cup in combination with a single suction-tube to convey the suction and draw away the milk, substantially as set forth. (3.) In milking-appliances, the combination of motor discharging its air into centre of cup, with the rubber tube formed with vertical grooves and horizontal groove, and surrounded by an outer metal shell, substantially as set forth. (4.) In milking-appliances, the combination of an outer metal tube, an inner rubber tube with longitudinal and horizontal grooves, and means of communicating suction and atmospheric action alternately thereto, substantially as described in reference to and shown in the drawings.

No. 19066.—13th February, 1905.—WILLIAM CHARLES MACKLOW, of Auckland, New Zealand, Sawmill-proprietor. A stencil-plate holder and stencil-plates for the same.

Extract from Specification.—This is a device or apparatus made of round or other shaped iron, steel, or other metal, with two, four, or more prongs, as shown in drawings and marked A, whereon the stencil letter, word, or any combination of letters or words are slid, thus forming a stencil arrangement of letters or words for quickly marking with stencil-ink and brush the packages, boxes, sacks, bags, wool-packs, timber, or any other thing usually marked with stencil-plates. The stencil-plates are made with sockets at each side, so that they can be slipped on to the prongs A and held in any position.

[NOTE.—The above extract from the specification is inserted in place of the claims.]
(Specification, 1s. 3d.; drawing, 1s.)

No. 19070.—14th February, 1905.—BENJAMIN H. BROWN, of New Plymouth, Taranaki, New Zealand. Improved reversing-gear for steam-engines and the like.

Extract from Specification.—This invention relates to gear used for reversing steam-engines and the like, and according hereto the valve-rod is provided with a slotted bracket within which a crank-pin and its brasses are fitted. The crank-pin is fixed at each end in toothed reversing-wheels mounted freely upon crank-shaft, and each reversing-wheel is kept in operative position between a disc and a mutilated disc. The crank-shaft, with the mutilated discs, is revolved by pump-levers through connecting-rods, or by any other suitable part of the engine. Reversing-levers are fixed upon reversing-shaft, upon which are fixed arms provided with racks capable of gearing with the toothed reversing-wheels. To reverse the engine the lever is operated to make the racks gear with and revolve the reversing-wheels, which carry the crank-pins through a portion of a circle, the traverse of the crank-pins being limited by the gap in the mutilated disc. The crank-pins and reversing-wheels are revolved by the crank-shaft and the mutilated discs, thereby reciprocating the valve-rod in the bracket of which the crank-pin and its brasses slide.

[NOTE.—The above extract from the specification is inserted in place of the claims.]
(Specification, 4s. 3d.; drawings, 3s.)

No. 19071.—11th February, 1905.—WILLIAM PETER DALY, of Blackball, New Zealand, Inventor. Improved single- or double-action self-adjusting clamping bolsters.

Claims.—(1.) In bolsters that swivel and that are constructed for carrying long loads, in combination, hollow frames carrying internal screws, said screws capable of being coupled together or of being uncoupled, with nuts capable of being taken off altogether if needed, and also capable of being fitted to any suitable make of stanchion, dog, or wedge-like blocks for securing the load, all substantially as set forth and as described and shown. (2.) In swivelling bolsters for carrying loads, in combination, hollow frames carrying internal screws, said screws capable of being coupled or uncoupled, with nuts capable of opening so as to clear the screws or closing to gear to them, and of being removed if needed, and also capable of being furnished with any pattern of dog, stanchion, chair, or wedge block, &c., for the purpose of securing the load, all substantially as set forth, and as described and shown on the drawing. (3.) In swivelling bolsters for carrying loads, in combination, hollow frames carrying internal racks with multiplying gear where needed, and gear to bring the handle-lever to a convenient place, with ratchet and pawl for holding the grip and coupling of spindles where desired, all substantially as set forth and as shown and as described and explained.

Claims.—(1.) Apparatus capable of being operated with either direct electric currents or with alternating electric currents, provided with means whereby the amount of current supplied to the apparatus is automatically adjusted in accordance with the kind of current supplied. (2.) The combination with an apparatus through which an electric current may be passed, of an inductive resistance and a non-inductive resistance connected in series with each other and in parallel with the said apparatus, the current-supply being connected to the circuit at a point intermediate the ends of the inductive resistance and at that end of the non-inductive resistance furthest from the said inductive resistance, substantially as and for the purpose specified. (3.) An electric motor adapted to be operated either by means of direct or alternating electric currents having non-inductive and inductive resistance connected with its field-magnet winding, substantially as described with reference to the drawings and for the purpose specified.
