Abstract
Abstract Finger printing apparatus includes a square block has two holes, one of which goes completely through the block, the other hole only part way. A metal rod, which is inserted into the center back edge of a fingerprint card-holder. The block is affixed to a table top used for fingerprinting. When the card-holder, with the rod is placed into the short hole in the block, it permits the card-holder to rotate. This rotation then allows the card-holder to roll around the finger in the taking of fingerprints, instead of rolling the finger in a half circle to get a complete set of prints. The other hole in the block allows the card-holder to be used in a fixed position without any rotation, if desired.

Apparatus for taking fingerprint impressions comprising: A horizontally disposed planar base; a block element supported on the planar surface of said base and set in from a generally straight edge thereof; said block element having, in the vertical forward face thereoF, at least two, horizontally aligned bores which are of equal diameter, of unequal extent and normal to said forward face; a planar member adapted to hold a plurality of finger print receiving cards; a separate bore associated with each card support area and adapted to be aligned with each of said two bores; a rod element of a size conforming to all aforerecited bores and of a length whereby said planar member may be fixedly supported on said base and against said forward face when the rod is associated with the longer of said two bores and any of said separate bores and whereby a print receiving card may be rotated about a finger member when the rod is associated with the shorter of said two bores and the said separate bore associated with the card to be rotated.
