Ticket-punch.
A punch used by railway and street car conductors for perforating tickets.
In the example, the fixed jaw has one longitudinal slot, into which the ticket is inserted, and a second slot at right angles to this, in which the movable jaw carrying the punch works.
The two jaws are kept apart by a spring when not in use.
The alarm and registering ticket-punch, now used on street-cars and elsewhere, cuts off and saves a piece of a ticket or a trip slip, and gives an audible notice of the punching The pieces and the register (if there be one) are the records of the number of passengers, and the bell-alarm calls the attention of the payer to the fact of the punching, enlisting his attention in the service of the company.
