 and separate means of controlled respectively by the longer closures and by the breaks of the circuit for shifting one of said complementary elements from a normal position to either of two other positions for bringing different components of each group into action.

28. 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.&mdash;groups of differential character-selecting componae [sic]nts which groups correspond in number to the maximum number of signal components of any of the code characters representing said character-indicating devices, and a selector&mdash;one of which elements has a step-by-step feed movement controlled by the signal components, means for imparting a shift movement to one of said complementary elements relatively to the other for bringing different components of each group into action, and means controlled by said character-selecting components for imparting a variable rotary movement to one of said complementary elements.

29. 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 elements, viz.&mdash;character-selecting components corresponding in number to the maximum number of signal components of any of the code characters representing said character-indicating devices, a selector, means controlled by the signals components for imparting to said selector a step-by-step feed movement in the direction of its axis, and means controlled by said character-selecting components for imparting a variable rotary movement to said selector.

30. 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 elements, viz.&mdash;groups of fixed differential character-selecting components which groups correspond in number to the maximum number of signal components of any of the code characters representing said character-indicating devices, a selector, means controlled by the signal components for imparting to said selector a step-by-step feed movement in the direction of its axis, means controlled by said character-selecting components for imparting a variable rotary movement to said selector, and means for imparting a shift movement to said groups of character-selecting components for bringing different components of each group into action.

31. 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 elements, viz.&mdash;groups of fixed differential character-selecting components which groups correspond in number to the maximum number of signal components of any of the code characters representing said character-indicating devices, a selector, means controlled by the signal components for imparting to said selector a step-by-step feed movement in the direction of its axis, means controlled by said character-selecting components for imparting a variable rotary movement to said selector, and means for shifting said groups of character-selecting components from a normal position to either of two other positions for bringing different components of each group into action.
