DEFINITION

Classification: 234/4

(under the class definition) Device comprising means to cut character and space-representing code perforations successively in a strip of material and, substantially simultaneously, to cut other perforations representative of incremental quantities related to said characters (e.g., their widths when set up in type), and further comprising means to totalize said quantities (by means of a counter or measuring unit) and means to indicate the approach of said

total toward a predetermined quantity (i.e., the length of a completed line of type).

(1) Note. A patent directed to a device for punching a typos:graphical-machine- controlling strip will not be placed in this or the indented subclasses unless all or a significant portion of a justification-space counter and/or indicator or associated structure pertaining to justification is claimed. Other features, such as repeat key systems, may be found in appropriate subclasses herebelow, in devices which could conceivably be utilized as composing machines.

(2) Note. Some patents have been cross-referenced to this subclass on the basis of disclosed features deemed important to selective typos:graphical punching machines even though the disclosures are not clearly of the selective type.
