COST ACCUMULATOR AND METHOD FOR COST ACCUMULATING

摘要

A device to compute and totalize hourly pay rates times on-job time for any number of hourly paid workers with differing hourly rates, having means to display the resultant total (total dollar cost to the nearest cent) on a digital counter. The device comprising a resistance-controlled electronic oscillator whose output frequency may be varied by plugging into the frequency-determining circuit of the oscillator resistances in parallel, whose values are selected in relationship with the hourly pay rates of individual workers so that the oscillator frequency will be proportional to the combined hourly pay rates for all the workers on the job and integrating means for integrating the combined hourly pay rates with time.
