Addition of Money

Addition of Money.

This is performed on the Units Cylinder for Pounds, in a manner similar to the explanation given above.

The Shillings Cylinder is used in exactly the same way, and when any sum of Shillings is finished, the Pounds will be found on the Indicator and the odd Shillings on the left end of the Cylinder, in the first division.

The Pence Cylinder is used in exactly the same way, and when any sum is finished, the Shillings will be found on the Indicator, and the odd Pence, on the left end of the Cylinder, in the first division.

It is an easy matter to transfer the Shillings on the Indicator, to the Shillings Cylinder to make the addition complete, or to read off the odd Shillings on the end of the Shillings Cylinder, with the Shillings on the Pence indicator.
