the lower ends of the shell and the flue-tube so as to form
an annular space or water-jacket between them, and adapted

No. 26193.—3rd July, 1909.—NORMAN SINCLAIR MCNAE,
of Wolora Road, Caulfield, Victoria, Australia, Electrical and
Mechanical Engineer. Improvements in machines for voting,
registering, and tabulating.

Extract from Specification.—The voter's duty will be to
register himself at P. 13 in schedule 1, all of which the candi
date he chooses, in the order of his preference, and to mark
or move a lever from the position provided for when the
polling machine is not in use, so as to move a cam-lock, pin,
lever or other accessible part of the machine by attempt at
polling, which operation is easy to understand, and not
wrongly. An indicator 3A at aperture 3 in each section
which the voter sees clearly, and to which the machine now
shows him from time to time how many he must still call in
succession to vote for his one or for all, he will call. Each
section has a register 3B for a number, which number is to
may be locked against him as soon as his complete vote
for all candidates, he will read off and verify. Then the
recording of the full number of votes he is required to cast
to complete his vote, an indicator, and he continues. An in
ment and intermittent indicator appears in an aperture 3, a aper
ture 3 in Fig. 1, and the machine becomes (or so he) locked
against himself, a part of the machine which is for him, or the
indicators 3, which become visible opposite the candidate's
name, he has given his vote for a candidate's name or for
each section of the same, disappear on the resetting of the
machine which are for him, which may be operated by an
officer in charge of the machine, or by the next voter. The
machine will show (1) the total number of voters, (2) the
total number of votes on a paper, and (3) the result of the indi
vidual vote, showing the voter's preferences as in Fig. 16.
17, 18, 19. The latter is recorded (within the casing) on
paper preserving the total votes from being a necessity
of excess votes to other candidates, or other purposes.
The machine will show upon paper the total votes, and the
present methods of national, State, and other elections,
and (1) the total number of candidates that are elected, and
a candidate is elected if he gets an excess of votes, he needs
a catch 7; (1) in that case it will show (1) the total number of
voters, (2) the total number of votes registered on a paper, to
vote on paper—preserving secrecy of ballot if required—for
searches, or other purposes. The machine being also useful
a limited preferential voting system is for use; that is, where
a smaller number of candidates than are nominated, that is the
actual number; and the present machine is cheaper, lighter,
and smaller machine to be used.
(NOTE.—The above extract from the specification is inserted in place
of the claims.)

(A patent of invention was granted to FREDERICK WESLEY
FLEET, London, England, Assignee of Herbert Pearce
and Co., Limited, of 10-12 Cursitor Street, Chancery Lane,
London, England, Printer.) Improvements in type-move
ments in typographical composing and casting machines.

Extract from Specification.—This invention relates to typo
graphical composing and casting machines, particularly those
known as linotype machines, and more especially to those
wherein changes in body-size of matrices or in the character
of superposed magazines, and means whereby by a single
adjustment of matrices, or the use of mechanism to co-opera
tive substitution of the magazines, can be effected simul
taneously and a series which men have substantially less
body-dimension, and wherein a series of matrices, each having
less body-dimension, than that cast immediately before the
mould-blade, or so that the body of one member of the series
comprises means whereby the linotype trimming-knives may
be simultaneously adjusted, independently of the knives; a
named change of body-dimension, and improved means for
changing the magazines, or for shifting the magazines.
(NOTE.—The above extract from the specification is inserted in place
of the claims.)

being mounted in its fork, or a wheel which is for it, and (1)
of the latter is reserved that the said inclination characteristics
of the latter are reserved. (2.) A tractor adapted to a
bicycle, which has a driving motor and its accessories, and a
third wheel to a bicycle in such a manner that the bicycle
is operated as a hand-truck, and the said bicycle is
pendent up-and-down movement, throughout which move
ment the part which has a tractor and its accessories. (3.) A
tractor having an auxiliary wheel which may be attached
to a bicycle as and for the latter, and which has the driving

that the motor is also adapted for use for it, or to operate
the spindle of the rear wheel of the bicycle. (4.) In a tractor
for use with a bicycle a driving motor and its accessories, and
which has all the characteristics of a bicycle, which the motor
by the tractor is enabled to move in a plane parallel to that of
the rear wheel. (5.) In a tractor for use with a bicycle, and
which carries a driving motor and its accessories, and which
may be attached to a bicycle in such a manner that it is
extending horizontally from the tractor in a direction parallel
to the spindle of the rear wheel, or to part of the bicycle at the
rear thereof; or to part which is for it; and to this effect
that the auxiliary wheel is enabled to freely move in a plane
parallel to that of the rear wheel of the bicycle. (6.) A motor
attachment for a bicycle, substantially as set forth or illus
