(5.) In an apparatus of the character described, the combination of meter mechanism, a series of cost-recording wheels, the first recording wheel of the series being provided with means for marking the cents of the cost, and the second wheel for advancing the second wheel from the first intermittently but a plurality of times during one complete revolution of the first wheel, substantially as described. (6.) In an apparatus of the character described, the combination of meter mechanism, a series of cost-recording wheels, the first recording wheel of the series being provided with means for marking the cents of the cost, and the second wheel with means for marking the dollars of the cost, and means for advancing the second wheel from the first intermittently but a plurality of times during one complete revolution of the first wheel, the second wheel having the dollars-marking devices repeated in successive divisions corresponding to the position of advance of said latter wheel, substantially as described.
