Abstract: Document production apparatus has an imaging member with a plurality of image areas used to produce documents. Defective image areas can be locked out from being used to produce documents. When an image area is locked out, the apparatus enters a skip cycle mode wherein the apparatus continues to run without producing a document for a particular image area. The lockout is cancelled upon replacement of the imaging means such that previously locked out image areas can be used to produce documents.

Abstract: Disclosed is a gage for measuring the nominal diameter of an elongated tubular member having a plurality of circumferentially spaced apart radially outwardly extending flutes. The gage includes a first gage part having a generally semi-circular segment with a flute engaging surface and a similar second gauge part including a generally semi-circular flute engaging surface. The first and second gage parts are joined together, preferably by a hinge, to form a generally circular ring adapted to fit about the tubular member. Each flute engaging surface includes a plurality of stepped arcuate flute engaging portions that are spaced at radii from the center of the ring corresponding to nominal diameters to be measured.

Abstract: A coin-sorting and counting machine having a stationary base and a cylindrical frame wall rotatably mounted on the base for selective rotation relative thereto. A rotatable disc with a queueing head spaced thereabove forms the coins into a queue at the perimeter of the disc whereat they are sorted by denomination, using coin depressing wheels. Counters count the coins according to denomination. The machine further includes a bag-holding receptacle for each denomination of coin being sorted to collect preselected numbers of the coins according to denomination, and holding for collecting and temporarily holding coins in excess of the preselected numbers according to denomination. The receptacles are held on a carrier plate and arranged concentrically about a pedestal supporting the frame wall. The holding tanks each have a manually operable slide gate to selectively transfer the collected excess coins therein to the coin bags.
