Tally Clerk,House of Representatives,Washington,DC,District of Columbia

Title: New time saving voting machine designed to U.S. Capitol employee. Washington, D.C., May 10. Until Jurgensen, Jr., a tally clerk in the House of Representatives designed this electric voting machine it took at least three months, using the old rubber stamp system, to compile the voting records of the 435 members of the House. Recording the yeas and nays, absent and present, paired for and paired against votes of each individual member, the machine which is similar to an adding machine, does the same job in less than two weeks. Greater accuracy is assured in counting votes with Jurgensen-designed machine, 5-10/38
