Abstract: A fare box includes a first coin receiving opening in an upper surface of the outer shroud and a second paper receiving opening also in the upper surface and defined by a horizontal surface over which the paper is fed. The feed system comprises a first elastomeric roller divided into three separate coaxial parts and cooperating with a first central narrow roller and a pair of belts on either side of the narrow roller for grasping the paper and directing it from the horizontal surface downwardly into an inspection zone. The inspection zone has a dump platter controlled by a time delay and a manually operable switch with the time delay being reset by the manually operable switch, by a switch responsive to the receipt of the fare and by a manually operable delay switch.
