ABSTRACT:
In the disclosed system, recurring signals, such as from a watt-hour meter or other type of meter, are registered, by sensing the signals, converting the signals to mechanical motions, and applying them to a mechanical register so that the register accumulates the motions sensed by the amplifier and indicates a value representative of the accumulated total of the signals. According to one embodiment of the invention, a sensor senses the signals formed by gaps in the rotating disc of a watt-hour meter and an amplifier drives a stepping motor on the basis of the signals. The stepping motor advances an odometer whose non-volatile output can be read visually or scanned electronically over a telephone line.
