An ingenious machine to simplify and reduce the cost of printing and issuing railway tickets was exhibited at Birmingham. The clerk has merely to slip a blank into a slot,, touch a lover or two, and a fully-printed ticket drops out ready for issue. The machine gives to the blank the names of both the departure and arrival stations, all. the usual particulars and consecutive number, and, if necessary, any othor' details such ns excursion, tourist, • workmen's, or for children or dogs. Tho issue of the ticket is recorded in duplicate on a continuous strip of paper with the fare. The machine is already in use in Prussia and, on tho State railways of Austria, Denmark and Sweden.
