603,345. Indicating variable information. WALKER, F., and BAXENDALE, R. G. Dec. 28, 1945, No. 35021. Drawings to Specification. [Class 118 (i)] An indicator comprises a panel sub-divided into a plurality of rows of individual compartments in each of which a card may be placed and each of which has adjacent thereto a time scale and a co-operating pointer on a guide. A wireless programme indicator for mounting on a receiver or inside a radiogram lid has columns of compartments for each day of the week, each of the traverse rows corresponding to a particular broadcasting station. The compartments are cut away so that cards, inserted to show which programme it is desired to hear from a particular station on a particular day, can be seen. A time scale is provided above each compartment and a pointer can be slid along a rod to mark the time of the broadcast. The panel may comprise two sheets of material secured together, the compartments comprising pockets between the sheets and being pressed forward and open at the top. It is stated in the Provisional Specification that the time scale may be marked on the inserted card itself.
