. Electrical world. of the preceding bundle. Simul-taneously, the lower coin roll is raised, forming a pocket with the twoupper rolls into which the bunch of coins is carried, and the end of the paper is fed by friction between the three driving coin rolls andaroimd the bundle of coins. The wrapper completely encircles thecoins twice, giving strength and body for the crimp. The feedingof the paper around the bunch of coins tears the wrapper from theroll of paper by pulling the paper over a V-shaped knife, leaving itsend, which serves for the final wrapping, cut with inwardly convergingedges. The side edges of the wrapper are then turned inwardly bythe crimpers, thereby drawing upon the converging edges in oppositedirections and holding the final w-rapping end of the wrapper closelyand smoothly upon the rolled package without the aid of independentfastening, such as glue or paste. The length of the package is determined by the thickness of thecoin, which varies considerably. The crimp is always brought up.

When the crimp is complete the cart-ridge is thrown out of the machine into a box, which is detachableand may be filed away in a safe or vault, thus minimizing the laborin handling the coins. The package of coin when shot out of themachine is so securely wrapped that no one coin can be extractedwithout destroying the entire package, thus making it impossible tocheat the machine. The machine is operated by an electric motor, and as it consumesbut three-tenths of an ampere at no volts, it is easily attachable toany standard light socket by means of a connection plug. It isstarted and stopped by a turn of a button switch. It will be noticed that the paper is fed into the machine from theunder side of the roll, which is in plain view in Fig. I. In this posi-tion the curl of the paper due to the roll helps the wrapping of
