A device for transmitting information in the form of an electrical signal to at least one mechanism for giving a readout of the information, comprises a readout mechanism which has at least one symbol wheel which carries symbols on its circumference. A plurality of angularly spaced and radially extending actuating members are affixed to a drive shaft which rotates to move the actuating members in a first plane. The actuating members are divertible into a second plane parallel to the first plane by a switch arranged in the plane of movement of the actuators so as to selectively divert the actuating members into a second plane. The actuating members have individual symbols corresponding to the number of readout symbols and guide walls are provided for supporting the actuators and the switch, as well as a gear drive for a symbol wheel in the respective first and second planes. A relay is employed for sensing the symbol position of the symbol wheel and it is connected to the switch to energize the switch. Gear means are located in respective first and second planes in a position to be engaged by the actuating members upon rotation of the drive shaft in order to cause rotation and indexing of the symbol wheel. |
