This Patent Telegraph is compact, convenient, simple, and comparatively cheap ; and consists of nests of figure-plates so arranged inside each other as to readily show in succession thefigures 0, 1, 2, 3 to 9, as required ; and so fixed as to allow the “ units ” to slide to the left, behind the “ tens the “ tens ” behind the “ hundreds,” and the “ hundreds ” behind blank plates a, a, which in turn slide back to the right when no “ hundreds ” are required in the score. The Telegraph also possesses the merit of being readily moveable from one place to another, and will stand on a chair, or table, or hang on a stake, a wall, or from a tree. The plates are so fixed in the frame that they can easily be moved backwards and forwards, by one finger, and are so made that the figures upon them do not rub one against the other. Should any plate by chance stick, a small handle b is attached, with which it can readily be moved.______________________________________________________ P R I C E a£3. MANUFACTURED SOLELY BY Mesrs.
