Abstract: A coating apparatus for forming a high-resistance film on the inner surface of the neck of the funnel of a cathode ray tube has a nozzle that can be inserted into the neck. The nozzle, which is provided for applying a material liquid to the inner surface of the neck, has a jet hole inclined toward the direction of gravity. The material liquid applied through the jet hole thus inclined scarcely flows upwardly on the inner surface of the neck. The liquid therefore forms a high-resistance film having a uniform thickness on the inner surface of the neck of the funnel. Having a uniform thickness, the high-resistance film inhibits the charge-up of the neck potential, reducing the convergence drift caused by the charge-up of the neck potential.

Abstract: In commercial transactions, settlement is conventionally made by cash or by checks drawn from a current account in a bank. Users of such checking system enjoy its convenience. In the conventional process of check negotiation, however, such system involves a vast amount of complicated procedures including several steps of mechanical as well as manual processing. An automatic check card issuing apparatus for issuing check cards to the customer who draws a check from a financial institution such as bank, etc. is a great advantage to the financial institution as well as to the user. Check cards may be promptly issued by a simple operation according to the present invention.

Abstract: In commercial transactions, settlement is conventionally made by cash and by checks drawn on a current account in a bank, etc. Users of such checking system enjoy its advantages. From the standpoint of banking business, however, such system involves a vast amont of complicated clerical procedures, and a number of negotiation checks pose a bottleneck in rationalizing the banking business. According to the present invention, there is provided a safe and secure check negotiating system which enables checks to be cashed with a minimum manual handling once check has been received by a financial institution such as a bank. The present invention also aims to provide a novel check card and an apparatus for drawing check cards to prevent illicit use of such a card when lost or stolen.
