Turn′stile-reg′is-ter.

A device for registering the number of persons who pass through a turnstile serving as the entrance to a toll-bridge or building, and serving as a check on the collector. The axis on which the stile turns is caused to rotate a series of gear-wheels which operate the indicator. The stile can only rotate in one direction, and has a locking device controlled by a foot-lever, so that the collector may prevent the passage of more than one person at a time.

Kelly turn-table, with iron frame.
