Railway ticket printing machine, to be worked by hand or power.

WATERLOW'S RAILWAY PASSENGER TICKET MACHINES.

These machines are manufactured of best materials in the best possible manner, and have been in use for several years at the offices of some of the principal railway companies in the United Kingdom, the British Colonies, and on the Continent, to whom we are permitted to refer, and whose experience forms the best guarantee of their speed, durability, and general efficiency. They are constructed with a fast and loose rigger, to work from a shaft, or may be driven by hand with perfect ease printing, perforating, numbering consecutively, either at one or both ends of the tickets at one operation, at the rate of 8,000 to 10,000 per hour.

The plain tickets are inserted in the tube A, pass along the plate F, and rise into the tube F, in numerical order.

When the machine is driven from a shaft, the printer has simply to insert the bundles of plain tickets in one tube, taking the printed ones out on the other side, the machine stopping of its own accord and ringing a bell when any derangement arises from an imperfect card or other cause.

List of some of the Railway Companies to whom these machines have been supplied.

• Eastern Counties Railway, London.

UNPRINTED TICKETS, various colours and devices, perforated if required. A pattern card, containing 120 sorts, with prices of each attached, will be forwarded on application from any Railway Company, or their agent.

Great care is exercised in the preparation and examination of these tickets, and every defective one removed. The tickets are perforated singly, thereby ensuring the perforation falling in the centre, and the removal of any imperfect ticket — a great advantage over all others yet submitted.
