A knob represents a candidate; the knobs are in columns like the names on a ballot, and the different parties are represented by different colors. When the voter touches a knob representing a candidate it records his vote and I locks that and all the other candi-1 dates fur that office. He can touch all the knobs in less than a minute,

and, making his exit by a different door from which he entered, unlocks by opening it all of the knobs. It is estimated that 650 of the machines would record the entire vote of New York City, which is how cast in 1,141 precincts. When the hour for the dosing of the polls arrives, the vote is t practicaly coanted, and counted correctly.
