Background
2023: I have started including
patents that apply to writing instruments that appear in the TV
series Murdoch Mysteries (
Wiki)
since they happened in time overlapping stock tickers and are for
writing.
This list of patents used to be on the
Telegraph
Equipment web page, but it got too big so is now here.
The original Morse system of telegraphy included a
pen
register that would write short dots and longer dashes on a
strip of paper as the method of receiving the message. But
soon the operators learned to read by ear and so the
Sounder
was developed to replace the pen register. Later manual
keyed Morse code gave way to printing telegraph machines, like
those of Phelps.
In 1873 there were more than 150,000 miles of telegraph lines in
the U.S. alone operated by Western Union who had bought up most of
the smaller companies.
But there were some areas where a written strip of paper was
needed. One of these was fire or police
call box alarm
pen registers. The concept is very similar to the original
Morse pen register. These are typically spring wound and
only print when there's an alarm. The pen is powered by the
alarm loop and the paper tape is moved by a wind up clockwork.
Another is for recording phone calls (magneto crank type phones
where then in use). Another is for two way communications
between two operators.
The stock market price quotation system has some specialized
needs. First there's only one transmitting machine that
feeds a number of receiving machines all connected in a loop so
that all the receiving stations get their printouts at the same
time. So the vast majority of the patents are for the
receiving printers. A very simple way to select a letter for
printing is to have a wheel with the characters you want to print
of the outer edge. The wheel can easily be stepped by
sending a pulse on a telegraph line. Another line is needed
to bring a stop into play. Once the stop is activated the
type wheel can be pulsed more times than it takes for it to make
exactly one turn. Then you know that the type wheel is in
the home position. Now when the transmitter pulses all the
receiving type wheels turn in unison. There quite a number
of patents relating to how all the machines will be kept in
unison.
By being cleaver two type
wheels can be used, one with the letters and one with
figures. The letters print on the top of the paper tape and
the figures print on the bottom. This arrangement both
reduces the total number of characters on the type wheel making
for faster throughput and it makes the tape much easier to read.
After W.W. II the Teletype machine patents show up in some of the
same patent classes as these step-by-step type "printing
telegraph" machines. The Teletype machine has a line powered
motor that's always running and at the start pulse engages a
clutch that starts a selector spinning for one revolution and in 5
or 8 places along the revolution solenoids are either engaged or
not engaged setting type bars that cause the proper character to
be printed. These machines print on an roll of paper that's
about 7 or 8 inches wide. The Teletype patents are on the
Telegraph web page.

Ticker Models
By 1919 Western Union had bought up
hundreds of telegraph related companies. They then supported
the following ticker machines:
- Universal
- Scott One-Wire Ticker
- Scott Two-Wire Ticker - weight driven
- Phelps Ticker
- Burry Ticker - for stock news in brokers office
- Burry Page Ticker (Scientific American, March 23, 1901
article)
- Self-Winding Ticker
Note about viewing USPTO patents
For the newer patents the first web
page has all the textual information that's in the patent in a
searchable form from the search pages. But the drawings (in
.tif format) are not on the first page. A .TIF file viewer
plug-in needs to be added to your browser in order to view the
Images used by the United States Patent & Trademark
Office. If you click on the [HELP] icon at the top of the
first page there's a topic relating to how to view images very
near the top. That link goes to a page that lists many
options. I use the free viewer from Altera (one install for
Netscape and another install for IE).
For the older patents the first page only has:
- Patent Number
- Date
- Class numbers
So you can not search old patents by inventor, title, key words,
etc. The old patents are only available as a .TIF
image. Since all the patents on this page are in the old
catagory, the title, inventor's name were manually typed and there
may be typos. The date and class numbers were cut and
pasted.
Class Numbers
The class numbers are in a format
like (top class number)/(sub class number). In Sunnyvale,
California, very close to the semiconductor factories, there's a
public patent library where they file by class number not by
patent number like all the other patent libraries. When
searching patent numbers once you know the class/subclass number
of a patent you can find like patents by searching on that
class/subclass number.
If you know the top level class number you can go to the
USPTO
Class
Schedule web page and click on the button with the same
number. On that page is the title for the top class
number. For example top class number
178
is "Telegraphy". The subclass number is a number that may
include a number of indentations. For example sub class 35
has the following listing:
35 .. With type-wheel
recorder
Notice the two dots preceding the words. That means that
this is the second indentation. Looking up from 35 the first
single dot is:
23R .Printing
It turns out that 178/35 appears a large number of times on this
page.

Patent Numbers & Dates
If you look at a sequence of patent
numbers the higher the number the higher the date. But it's
not a rule.
If a mistake is discovered the old patent is terminated and
another patent is REissued.
Patent numbers that start with the letters RE have been
reissued. The reissue numbers are sequential and have no
relationship to the old patent number. So I've placed the
reissued patents in the list based on their dates although the
rest of the list is in patent number order.
Related Technology
The Chemical telegraph uses a
treated paper instead of ink to make a visible mark. They
run faster than ink on paper recorders and so inventions for them
are for faster operating mechanisms that those for contemporary
ink recorders. Paper tape readers for chemical
telegraphs could also be used for tickers.
Developments in
typewriters,
and telegraph relays also had a direct impact on tickers.
Automatic Telegraphy refereed to sending and receiving messages
without operators. This can take many forms. For
example FAX, line drawing, or dots and/or dashes on paper tape.
The FAX machine started with Bain, see:

This is THE patent for a Relay.
First Printer used for stocks and
the source of "Stock Ticker" because of it's sound. Sold 100
when offered in winter 1867.
Uses 2 wires, one for the type wheel
and one for printing.
Seperatre Letters and Numbers wheels
on seperate shafts and independent movement, the blank on one
wheel is used to stop both from printing.
A
boy would
run from building to building to synchronize the machines,
i.e. no unison device. Edison witnessed over a hundred boys
all running to the Gold exchange because the system went out of
unison and saw the need to avoid that problem.
Edison Universal made with this look & feel, i.e. round base
under glass dome, terminals on base, parallel frame members,
central typewheel high in center.

even adding a weight to pull the transmitter could not make it
turn fast enough.
Oct 1, 1869 Edison joins with Franklin Pope (who helped Dr. Laws
make the Gold indicator) to work on improving the Laws printer.
The Pope & Edison improvements included a simple unison
device which the Laws printer was lacking and more speed.

Printing Telegraph Instrument, F.L. Pope & T. A. Edison
(GSTC), Aug 5, 1873, 178/38 ; 335/84
This machine has a single wheel
with the characters to be printed and it is moved, one letter at a
time, until the desired letter is ready to be printed. A
short pulse will rotate the letter wheel but not fire the
striker. A longer pulse rotates the wheel and prints a
character. Thus it "ticks" then prints, hence the name
"Ticker Tape". There are numbers offset from the rest of the
characters that can be used to print fractions (1/8,
2/8...7/8). The base is circular, i.e. the classic Ticker
Tape machine. This patent expressly disclaims the the ideas
in patents 51261 (Kirchhof) and 99273 (Laws), i.e. Edison is doing
his own thing. Uses bipolar drive.
All 6 coils are vertical and above
the base plate. Frame is a closed loop. The
circular base appears too small for a glass dome.
The type wheel has the letters offset from the numbers and
fractions so that the letters print on the top of the tape and the
numbers on the bottom.
The Reassigned patent has new class numbers
Patent shows 2 binding posts, but production unit had 4 terminals.

Frame is an open "C" shape. Base is
larger than mechanism to allow for glass dome. 4 terminals,
2 for main line, 2 for local battery. Above base plate is a
special two horizontal coil polarized relay that has a center off
position. Used with bipolar main line drive.
The two horizontal coils below the base plate rotate the type
wheel. The two horizontal coils above the base plate actuate
the printing mechanism.
Single type wheel has the numerator
digits prior to the fraction sign (- or /) the the denominators so
that a fraction can be printed in less than one turn of the wheel.

Optimized so that power compsumption is spread over the operating
cycle to minimize the peak power required thus allowing the
printer to be powred over the phone line instead of from a local
battery (D.C. power from phone line).

About the same number of Figures are
printed on a stock ticker as are Letters, hence adding a 6th bit
to the permutation code. At the time the 6th bit is decoded
and the type wheel is in position the 5 input selector bits are
free to accept another character thus there is no need to have a
first and second selector system to allow overlapping decoding and
printing.

S.F. Examiner runs a photo showing Charles Kilcourse, regional
manager of Western Union presenting a Stock Ticker to Jeremiah
Bradley (and another un named man). "Fewer than 200 of the
antiques are still in use, having been replaced by 900
character-per-minute tickers.

An Edison Stock Printer. Labeled, "Gold
& Stock Telegraph Co. Edison's Patent No. 215". As the
electric telegraph sped information across the country, bankers
and businessmen realized that they could profit from immediate
knowledge of stock prices and other crucial data. The new
technology shortened the time for decision-making and increased
the pace and stress of the business day. But early telegraph
service was expensive. Outside the business community, use of the
telegraph spread slowly. ==Smithsonian Photo by Alfred Harre
Twitter Tape - it may
work like one of the Edison patent tickers. Designed by Adam
Vaughan who has been involved in making replica Edison tickers,
both working and static.

Teletype 28 based stock ticker manual
Section 573-140-100TC Issue 1, July 1964 - The "900"
"That item is actually the first use of
Model 37 technology. No idea why it was called Model 28 except
maybe the Bell System wanted to reserve the 37 number
for the page printing machines. We had one in the lobby of the
Teletype R&D building in Skokie, slowed down to work with
the stock ticker service then in use. The printing mechanism is
called "aggregate motion" because one bit of the signal moves
the type box one unit, another bit moves it two units, another 4
units and so on. Similar logic was used in the MITE and in the
IBM Selectric typewriter. The machine looked very lazy in
operation because the type box did not return to a home position
after printing. It just waited for the next character to move it
to the next position. Anyway, a bunch of these machines were
made and were supplied to the NYSE and Western Union and maybe
others. When Jack Hart saw the W.U. warehouse after that
company's demise he found a lot of them, but didn't bring any
home, so far as I know. In my opinion that was the last
successful Teletype product of a highly-mechanical nature. The
Model 37 page machines I would not consider successful. The NYSE
called it the "900" ticker because it could print 900 characters
per minute." J.H.
-----------------
"Looking at the bulletin in your link it is a 28 based stock
ticker. I worked on 4 or 5 of them in Springfield, MA in
1968-69. They used purple ink and had ribbon re-inkers on
them. Came home with purple fingers often. One used
clear tape and a projector to display on a wall or board.
Used on NY Stock Exchange I believe. Routine service was
always after 3PM when the market closed.
Never saw an earlier version till I got to Wichita,
KS. The black square box style. Slower speed and
were used in the Commodities Market. We had one old timer
who serviced these. In Wichita there were some Trans Jet
machines on a long belt that used frames with reflecting
green dots that would flip up to display a character and reset
before coming around on the belt again. I worked on those
and mostly got replacement parts from Trans Jet overnight to fix
any issues. The old timer helped me. Now I am the
old timer LOL.
The best source for troubleshooting issues were the guys
who were retired and spent the day at the brokerage watching the
trading. They would inform us of the issues. They
also wondered if the market would ever break the Dow Jones 2000
mark." 73, Wayne
-----------
Typewriter (Wiki)
The stock ticker may have been the first instance of printing
text based on electrical signals. It's a short step from
that to an electrical typewriter with either an attached or
detached keyboard. This is different from an "electric
typewriter" where a motor is used to lower the mechanical work
done by fingers.

Oliver Typewriter Co
Oliver No. 3 Standard Visible Typewriter Bat Wing - Aug 1915
In the TV series Murdoch Mysteries (IMDB, Wiki)
a "bat wing", keys strike the top of platen, typewriter.
It turns out to be an Oliver (Wiki)
brand and probably a model No. 1 or No. 2. Model No. 3 was
the last to have the "OLIVER" side plates.
|
The Oliver bat wing typewriter appears in a
number of episodes prior to this. And in one of
those you could see the "Olive....." nameplate. I
searched for Olivetti with no luck, but eventually found
it was an "Oliver" brand.
|
|
In the next season both the Oliver and the
Underwood typewriters appeared and shortly after than only
the Underwood is shown. Later the Oliver shows up on
the desk of the new guy.
|
In the background on Murdoch Mysteries you will see the classic
mirror on a Gerstner & Sons tool chest.
Although the company was in business as early as 1906 I don't
think they made a tool chest with that mirror until later.
The earliest patent I found was for a shoe shine box:

Very Bad Oliver Typewriter Packaging
The typewriter is in much worse condition than shown in the
eBay photos prior to shipment.
Features
The key selling point was that the keys struck on the top of
the platen whereas most, if not all, of the other typewriters at
that time had the keys striking such that you could not see the
last letter.
There are lifting ears (see Fig 13) cast into the base located just
below the platen. You naturally grasp these when lifting
and the Oliver is balanced at these lifting points. This
is an example of excellent engineering. Many modern
products would add a sticker warning you to not pick up by the
platen.
Fig 1 You could feel that the typewriter
was moving when the box moved.
|
Fig 2 No attempt was made to keep
the typewriter from moving. It
was loose inside the box!

bent.

Typewriter
In the Twisted Sisters episode (S6E10) a portable typewriter is
in the apartment of a victim who aspired to be a journalist.
It may be a Blickensderfer typewriter (Wiki).

Heady,
1934-12-22, - Indexing Typewriter (Office
Museum), not a toy.
YouTube: Haelscheir's
Haven: This
keyboard only has three keys! (1925 AEG Mignon 4 index
typewriter), 33:30 -
0:00 Introduction. For more details on the
history of these machines, I recommend https://site.xavier.edu/polt/typewrit...
and  • Mignon Schreibmachinen / Typewriters ...
1:03 Keyboard versus index typewriters.
The example typebar machine is a Torpedo 18B.
2:05 The three keys (right to left):
backspace, impression key (prints the character), and
spacebar. 2:46 Type cylinder (the thing that
impresses letters upon the paper). Here, I have the script
or "Schreibschrift" type cylinder installed. These
machines use a special 2D "PFUGQ" layout which was
probably optimized for German, but works reasonably with
English; there is a chance that this script type cylinder
while having the same letter layout has a French instead
of German layout on the perimeter.
3:31 Feeding paper
3:48 Paper release. I didn't complete the
sentence about this lever controlling whether the feed
rollers under the platen (large roller thing) will push
the paper against the platen which is necessary for it to
be pulled in when you turn the platen. I also didn't cover
the small lever I shortly touched without a word which is
for choosing between single and double spaced lines; you
push it down and slide it forwards or backwards.
4:20 Line finder lever
4:28 Paper bail
4:35 Adjusting the paper using the paper
release. I meant to say to disengage it before typing
rather than while , which you obviously don't want to do.
5:05 Carriage release lever. Holding down
the spacebar achieves the same, like on the
Blickensderfer. The Bennett's carriage is always
free-moving except while a key is pressed.
5:40 Setting the margins
6:12 First keypresses. Using the stylus.
"Hello world!" Yes, I am a programmer.
6:48 ***How it works***. Removing the
cover. Indexing mechanism and alignment slots.
8:36 Ribbon mechanism. I at various places
said "ribbon" instead of spool .
10:45 Escapement mechanism
12:27 Touch control spring. This controls
how heavy the keys feel to press down.
13:00 Backspace mechanism
13:17 ***"Single-element" typewriters***.
The Mignon, Blickensderfer, Bennett, Hammond, Selectric,
and a number of much harder to find machines used a single
element instead of multiple type slugs to hold all the
characters. This particular Blickensderfer was actually
made in 1914 while that Bennet was made between 1910 to
1913; I don't always recall my machines' birthdates.
15:51 End of line bell
16:23 Margin release. Sorry for putting
the carriage out of frame here. The lack of a convenient
margin release key encourages you to be more disciplined
about hyphenation and keeping the right margin unpolluted.
17:31 Line feed and carriage return
17:43 ***Changing typefaces***. Here, I
switch from Schreibschrift (script/cursive) to
Plakatschrift ("poster type" or "block lettering")
19:18 Changing indexes / character
legends. Sorry for putting the index removal out of frame.
20:17 The German instructions, as you will
see later, say to insert one space between each character,
and three between each word, given how large the letters
are.
20:39 Installing a type cylinder
21:32 Here we see why those spacing
instructions were important. I was going to note how this
index uses the usual German QWERTZ layout instead of PFUGQ
prior to my noticing my mistake. 22:26 **Typing demo**
23:05 Comments regarding technique. In
addition, the stylus should be held lightly so as to not
introduce resistance while the mechanism engages with the
alignment slots. Here, when aligned, the stylus points to
the top of the character on the index.
23:58 Speed limitations
24:48 Line alignment edges and cursor
25:22 ***Fast typing***. I was a bit rusty
with the layout at this time and intend on posting a video
with much more fluent typing. Kind of makes me think of
someone operating a Morse key. 3
0:16 **Closeup view**. For fast,
consecutive characters, you can barely even see the
cylinder rotating.

Fountain Pen
"Regis Skyline Number 7 Fountain Pen with Artisanal Blue Number
147 ink" is a plot point in Murdoch Mysteries S7E15
"The Spy Who Came Up to the Cold". Have not found patent
for Regis.
|
I think Murdoch Mysteries and eBay have
mis-labeled this pen "Regis". For example an eBay
title: "Vintage Rare Waterman’s Ideal Regis Fountain Pen".
An examination of the photos shows the nib labeled:
Waterman, ideal, REG.U.S., PAT. OFF. It may be that
REGUS was misread as REGIS? This makes sense as the
Waterman fountain pens were a big thing at the turn of the
century. |

the machine that made the eraser mounting clip broke the company
just stopped making the model 602 and others that used the flat
replaceable eraser. Note, because the eraser is larger
than the diameter of the pencil, it will not roll off a drafting
