 lever 196, from which the current flows through conductor 295, magnet 164, conductor 296, contacts 188 and 187 and conductor 297. By the closure of this circuit the space magnet 164 is energized and the lever 155 is shifted in the opposite direction to that before described to feed the drum 143 one step backward, thus closing contact at 269 with the lever 173 and also causing the lever 182 to release the contacts 185 and 186 and open the circuit at such contacts, thus rendering it impossible for the dash magnet 162 to be energized after the reception of an extra space in a code character. By the closure of the contact at 269 and 178 a shunt to ground through said lever is established which is similar to the shunt before described with respect to the lever 172 and contact 268. After all the signals of a code character have been received the space following such code character will be of such length that the contact-arm 58 will engage the contact 90 and a circuit will be closed from said contact 90 and the arm 58 and through ground to the parts before described in circuit with the battery 273 the circuit from conductor 282 being through the paper-shifting magnet 244, conductor 298, conductor 299, printing magnet 189, and conductor 300. By the closure of this circuit the printing-lever 196 is operated, opening the break at the contacts 255 and closing the break at the contacts 256. The breaking of the circuit of the spacing magnet 164 at the contacts 255 causes the lever 155 and coacting parts to be restored to their normal positions, with the exception of the contacts 185 and 186 and the lever 182, and also causes the drum 143 to be returned to its normal position. At the instant the the break at 256 is closed a circuit is established through ground to the devices in circuit with the batter 278, the circuit from conductor 282 being through the restoring magnet 133 and conductor 301. The restoring magnet when energized returns the lever 120 to its normal position and with it the main selector 118, and at the end of the movement of said lever two breaks are closed at the contacts 136 and 137, and contacts 138 and 139. When the main selector 118 moves from the zero or “E” position, in which the break at the contacts 223 and 224 is open, it permits the contact 223 to move into engagement with the contact 224. When these contacts 223 and 224 close their break and the breaks at the contacts 136&mdash;137 and 138&mdash;139 are afterward closed in the manner just described, a circuit is established from contacts 138 and 139 through ground to the devices in circuit with the battery 273, the circuit from conductor 282 being through conductor 283 and the main synthetic magnet 106, conductor 302, conductor 203&prime;, contacts 224 and 223 and conductor 303. The object of closing this circuit is, first, to unlock the wheel 107 from the locking-arm 105 and permit the shaft 92 to restore the main selector 118 to its zero or “E” position, said selector first striking the outer stop 270; and second, to close the two breaks at the contacts 115 and 116. This assures the holding of the circuit through the restoring magnet, the circuit at this time being through ground to the devices in circuit with the batter 273, the circuit from the conductor 282 being through the restoring magnet 133, conductor 305, contacts 137 and 136 and conductor 306 back to the contacts 116 and 115. The circuits through the main synthetic magnet 106 and the restoring magnet 133 will be held by the contacts just described until the main selector 118 returns to its normal or zero position, when the circuit-controlling arm 221 will open the break between the contacts 223 and 224, whereupon the main synthetic magnet 106 is deenergized and the arm 105 is again locked to the crown-wheel 107 and the shaft 92 held. As the lever 110 returns it opens the circuit at the contacts 115 and 116 and thus breaks the circuit through the restoring magnet 133, whereupon the lever 120 permits the selector 118 to move two steps into the path of the first row of dot pins. All the circuits are now open except the circuit of the motor 26. When the contact-arm 58 leaves the contact 90 the circuit of the printing magnet 189 is broken and the feed mechanism is mechanically operated as before described, to advance the tape one step. If the space is a space following a word, the contact-arm 58 travels as far as, and into engagement with the contact 91 and thereby closes a circuit through ground and the devices hereinbefore described in circuit with the battery 273, the circuit from conductor 282 being through the paper-shifting magnet 244, conductor 298, and an extra resistance 307 of the value of the resistance of the printing magnet 189, through contact 91 and conductor 58, this circuit serving to indicate an extra feed movement of the feed mechanism, which extra feed movement is imparted mechanically in the manner before described.

The various binding-posts to which the different wires are connected are shown in. At the analytic mechanism 40 the binding post 308 is connected with the contact for the spacing magnet, the binding post 309 with the contact for the printing magnet, the binding-post 310 with the contact for the paper-shifting magnet, the binding-post 311 with the contact for the dash magnet, binding-post 312 with the contact for the “L” magnet, binding-post 313 with the contact for the “O” magnet, binding-post 314 with the main analytic magnet,
