Abstract: A counter capable of serially receiving and accumulating a plurality of input values. The counter includes an ordinal series of register wheels having carry means operable for effecting a transfer of a value representative of an input value of one from a lower order register wheel into a next adjacent higher order register wheel in response to advancement of said lower order register wheel past a predetermined point. Input means is operatively associated with the ordinal series of register wheels and operable for effecting an increment of advancement of the lower order register wheel a predetermined amount representative of an input value of one in response to a cycle of operation of the input means. The input means includes a permanent magnet which is normally biased in a first predetermined direction by a magnetic attraction means. Electromagnetic means is operatively associated with the magnetic attraction means for reversing the polarity of the magnetic attraction means whereby the permanent magnet will be biased in a second predetermined direction in response to an electrical pulse being applied to said electromagnetic means. The permanent magnet will thereafter be automatically biased in the first predetermined direction in response to the completion of the electrical pulse being applied to the electromagnetic means. Thus an electrical pulse applied to the electromagnetic means will effect oscillating movement of the permanent magnet to thereby effect corresponding oscillating movement of the input means to effect an increment of advancement of the lower order register wheel a predetermined amount representative of an input value of one.
