 devices and also a translating receiver controlling said devices selectively in accordance with the combinations of receiver-influencing signals representing their respective code characters, said receiver embodying the following complementary elements, viz.-character-selecting components corresponding in number to the maximum number of signal components of any of the code characters representing said character indicating devices, and a selector-one of which elements has a step-by-step feed movement controlled by the signal components, and means for imparting a shift movement to one of said complementary elements relatively to the other for varying the feed relation between them.

16. A receiving telegraph instrument comprising a plurality of character-indicating devices and also a translating receiver controlling said devices selectively in accordance with the combinations of receiver-influencing signals representing their respective code characters, said receiver embodying the following complementary elements, viz.-character-selecting components corresponding in number to the maximum number of signal components of any of the code characters representing said character-indicating devices, and a selector, one of which elements has a step-by-step feed movement controlled by the signal components, and means for imparting differential shift movements to one of said complementary elements for varying the feed relation between them.

17. A receiving telegraph instrument comprising a plurality of character-indicating devices and also a translating receiver controlling said devices selectively in accordance with the combinations of receiver-influencing signals representing their respective code characters, said receiver embodying the following complementary elements, viz.-character-selecting components corresponding in number to the maximum number of signal components of any of the code characters representing said character-indicating devices, and a selector-one of which elements has a step-by-step feed movement controlled by the signal components, and means for shifting one of said complementary elements relatively to the other in opposite directions for varying the feed relation between said elements.

18. A receiving telegraph instrument comprising a plurality of character-indicating devices and also a translating receiver controlling said devices selectively in accordance with the combinations of receiver-influencing signals representing their respective code characters, said receiver embodying the following complementary elements, viz.-character-selecting components corresponding in number to the maximum number of signal components of any of the code characters representing said character-indicating devices, and a selector-one of which elements has a step-by-step feed movement controlled by a signal component of one character, and means controlled by a signal component of another character for imparting a shift movement to one of said complementary elements for varying the feed relation between them.

19. A receiving telegraph instrument comprising a plurality of character-indicating devices and also a translating receiver controlling said devices selectively in accordance with the combinations of receiver-influencing signals representing their respective code characters, said receiver embodying the following complementary elements, viz.-character-selecting components corresponding in number to the maximum number of signal components of any of the code characters representing said character-indicating devices, and a selector-one of which elements has a step-by-step feed movement controlled by a signal component of one character, and means controlled by a complementary signal component for imparting a shift movement to one of said complementary elements for varying the feed relation between them.

20. A receiving telegraph instrument comprising a plurality of character-indicating devices and also a translating receiver controlling said devices selectively in accordance with the combinations of receiver-influencing signals representing their respective code characters, said receiver embodying the following complementary elements, viz.-character-selecting components corresponding in number to the maximum number of signal components of any of the code characters representing said character-indicating devices, and a selector-one of which elements has a step-by-step feed movement controlled by signal components of different characters, and means controlled by signal components of one character for imparting a shift movement to one of said complementary elements relatively to the other for varying the feed relation between them.

21. A receiving telegraph instrument comprising a plurality of character-indicating devices and also a translating receiver controlling said devices selectively in accordance with the combinations of receiver-influencing signals representing their respective code characters, said receiver embodying the following complementary elements, viz.-groups of differential character-selecting components which groups correspond in number to the maximum number of signal components of any of the code characters representing the following complementary elements, de
