REQUEST for leave to amend the undermentioned application for Letters Patent has been received, and is open to public inspection at this office. Any person may, at any time from one month from the date of this Gazette, give me notice in writing of opposition to the amendments. Such notice must set forth the particular grounds of objection, and be in duplicate. A fee of 10s. is payable thereon.

The nature of the proposed amendments is as follows:—
(1.) After the words “paid thereon,” line 16, page 1, to insert the following paragraph:—
“I am aware of Codd’s British specification accompanying his application for Patent No. 1153, of 1881, and that other forms of franking-machines were known prior to my invention, and I do not claim such machines broadly as my invention, but I do claim my machine as a whole as described in my specifications, and I also claim the subordinate parts of the machine as claimed in the claiming clauses of this specification.”
(2.) To strike out the words “The leading feature of the invention is the provision of a series of handles adapted to operate franking mechanism, each of,” lines 17, 18, 19, page 1, and to insert instead “The invention comprises franking mechanism.”
(3.) To insert the word “this” in place of the words “these handles and,” line 23, page 1; and to omit the words “also” and “by each,” line 26, page 1.
(4.) To omit the words “of the handles,” line 1, page 2; the words “by a system of levers operated by the push or pull of each of the handles separately,” lines 11, 12, 13, page 2; and the words “of each stamp,” line 26, page 2.
(5.) To insert “a” in place of “the,” line 13, page 2.

(7.) After the words “front of the machine,” line 3, page 4, to insert the following sentences: “Figure 5 is a section elevation of guides, Figure 6 is a sectional elevation of a plunger and its spring, Figure 7 is a sectional elevation of a reversing-pinion, Figure 8 is an elevation of a pinion, and Figure 9 is a perspective view of a lever.”
(8.) To insert the words “plungers and” before “dies,” line 8, page 4, and after the word “guides,” line 9, page 4, to insert the following:—
“5A and 5B. The guides consist of an upper and lower bar, indicated at (5A), and a rear plate (5B) having a rib (5C) projecting forward horizontally and engaging a portion of the under-surface of the plunger-bar (5). There is.”
(9.) To omit the words “and has,” line 10, page 4; and to insert “bar 5” instead of “guides,” line 10, page 4.

(11.) After the words “segmental plate,” line 8, page 5, to insert the following:—
“Any well-known free-wheel mechanism may be adapted, a suitable movement is illustrated in Figs. (7) and (8), in which the pinion is indicated at (25). The pinion is mounted on a hub-piece (25B) which is securely fixed to the spindle (25A), a portion of the hub-piece is mortised at (25E), and a pawl (25F) fitted therein on a pivot (25A). The pawl is adapted to engage with ratchet-teeth (25C) formed in the annular space removed in the pinion for the purpose. A spring (25H) retains the pawl (25F) normally projected in a gullet of the ratchet, its point engaging with a tooth. There is a screwed cap-piece (35D) provided to couple the pinion (25) to its hub (25B), holes (25G) are provided in the cap-piece (25D) to engage with a podger-spanner for the purpose of screwing the cap-piece in position; in reversing, the pawl rides the ratchet-teeth and the pinion revolves freely on its spindle (25A).”

“6. In franking-machines of the kind described, registering apparatus, with external indicator, adapted to be set to a fixed desired amount beyond which no franking can be obtained, substantially as set forth.
