This is located in the right-hand portion of the carriage and has a capacity of 13 digits. The separate digits are marked, as in the setting mechanism, by means of small consecutively running figures from the right to the left. The product register is cancelled out, (i.e. brought back to zero) by pulling the left-hand cancellation lever to the front and then releasing it again. 5 The multiplier register with tens transmission The purpose of the multiplier register is to count the revolutions of the operating handle. it is located in the left-hand portion of the carriage. As in all the other mechanisms the 8 digits are marked by num- bers; each of the markings indicates the position of the carriage in this particular case. The multiplier register of the 13 RM is also equipped with a re- versing gear which enables optional counter-rotation. The shift lever can occupy 3 positions: plus-neutral- minus. Its basic position is at neutral and corres- ponding to the first rotation of the operating handle it is set to either ~+~ or ~---~. Once the lever is in one of these positions it will remain there until you return the counter to zero, when it will again go to the central position. Normally, you need not touch this reversing lever as it functions avtomatically, but if you wish to chanae the direction of rotation of the counter wheels, you may move it by hand; alwavs remembering to see first of all that the handle is in its neutral position. This reversing lever has many uses, as by using this mechanism, both the product and counter registers can react either posi- tively or negatively simultaneously, or in opposite di rections. aaooooao~n s Cancellation of the multiplier register The multiplier register is cancelled out by means of the right-hand cancellation lever. This is pulled to the front and then re leased. The counter will then be set to ~zero~ and the shift lever is again in ~neutral~. 7 CombSned cancellation The cancellation levers for the product register and for the multiplier register have been designed in such a manner that they can be operated by a com- bination grip with 2 fingers (best results are achieved if forefinger and middle finger are used), thus pro- ducing a combined cancellation. Thus, both registers can be cancelled out with one movement only. 8 Step-by-step tabulating Below the operating handle there is a shift rocker arm, arranged as a double handle and by means of which the carriage can be moved step-by-step into the required calculating position. This rocker arm enables the operation of the machine to be carried out with one hand only. 9 Tabulating step-by-step or intermittently The shift-key attached to the front of the machine offers another possibility of moving the carriage to the required calculating position. The shift-key can be moved to the right or to the left. When doing so, the carriage will always move one position in the same direction.
