Although there is no means shown by which the paper is fed after an item is printed, it is claimed in the specification that the well-known means for such feeding may be employed. The actuating lever J referred to, is connected by a ratchet and geared action with the shaft F[3], so that a revolution is given the said shaft each time the lever is operated.
To the shaft F, ([see Fig. 1]) is attached a series of arms H, one for each order, which, as the shaft revolves in the direction of the arrow, engages a lug marked I, on the segmental racks D, thus rocking the segments back to normal, turning the type-wheels with them.
The return of the segment racks D, cause the back of the latch-tooth f¹, ([see Fig. 8]) to engage the latch-tooth f, of the latch bar E, camming it out of engagement with the keys so that any key that has been set will return by means of its own spring.

The total or accumulator numeral wheels are connectable with the type or indicating wheels B, by an engaging and disengaging gear motion set up by the combined action of the hand levers R and J, which first cause such gear engagement, and then, through the return of the type wheels to zero, turn the accumulator wheels, thus transferring the amount of the item set upon the type wheels to the accumulator wheels.
The specification claims the machine is intended for use by cashiers, bank-tellers, and others, to record receipts or disbursements.
