A STATISTICAL counter unit forming an addition to the company's roll-ticket register, has recently bee!' introduced by Setright Registers, Ltd., 27. Claremont Road, London, E.17. This new unit enables the number of tickets and their value to be recorded by the provision of only one extra counter. The unit requires resetting for each value_
Extra counters to record the number of tickets issued of certain classes can be fitted. A slot is provided in the front of the machine to permit the inseition of multi-journey or concession card tickets. Where high-priced tickets are issued and the normal paper ticket is not considered sufficiently durable, card tickets can be inserted and printed.
This is a similar ticket to that used in the inserted ticket register. Where both models are used, this has the added advantage of allowing the issue and cancellation of return tickets to be covered by either model.
