摘要： An aggregate motion mechanism capable of receiving information, preferably in binary form, presented in either serial or parallel fashion for accumulating or adding the information and converting the information into a visually observable output. In a multibit binary form of the aggregate motion device, each bit position is comprised of a pair of gear members mounted in freewheeling fashion upon a common shaft. A third radially aligned satellite gear is secured to a collar mounted in a freewheeling fashion upon the common shaft, and is adapted to mesh with the pair of cooperating gears. The next adjacent bit position has one of its bevel gears secured to the collar to which the aforementioned satellite gear is secured so as to couple the binary input information from each stage to the next succeeding stage in accordance with its binary ''''weight.'''' The final output stage may be provided with a print drum or other indicia-bearing drum for the purpose of either printing out or visually displaying a character or other symbol representative of the binary information impressed upon the aggregate motion mechanism, enabling its use as either a converter or selector device for converting binary information into alpha-numeric form or for selecting a particular symbol for display or printout or may, alternatively, be employed as an adder or accumulator device in which binary data may be accumulated.
