Abstract: A slotted cylinder contains a pair of first and second rollers extending within the cylinder between opposing gears carried by associated sidepieces at the opposing ends of the cylinder. A scroll of reading paper connects between the rollers such that rotating a knob at one-end transfers the reading paper in a first direction between the rollers. Rotating a knob at the opposite end transfers the reading paper in the opposite direction.

Abstract: This invention relates to devices for removing covers for utility installations, such as water meter shut-offs, that are located under streets, sidewalks, and the like. Such covers provide accessible protection for the utility devices that they cover. Embodiments of this invention include a tubular shaft, and a hammer rod which is slidably insertable within the shaft and has a combination chisel point - claw hook at its the lower end for penetrating through pavement material, dirt and the like that may have become deposited in the aperture of the cover, to enable the claw hook to latch beneath the cover and pull on one side of the cover to lift it upward. Through impact on the top of the shaft by the hammer arm via corresponding impact surface, the chisel point on the shaft may be hammered downward to cause it to penetrate into the aperture.
