gaging in business, and thereafter on or before the 1st
day of July of each year, every manufacturer of and
dealer in gambling devices shall register with the At-
torney General his name or trade name, the address of
his principal place of business, and the addresses of his
places of business in such district. On or before the last
day of each month every manufacturer of and dealer in
gambling devices shall file with the Attorney General
an inventory and record of all sales and deliveries of
gambling devices as of the close of the preceding cal-
endar month for the place or places of business in the
district. The monthly record of sales and deliveries of
such gambling devices shall show the mark and number
identifying each article together with the name and ad-
dress of the buyer or consignee thereof and the name
and address of the carrier. Duplicate bills or invoices,
if complete in the foregoing respects, may be used in
filing the record of sales and deliveries. For the pur-
poses of this chapter, every manufacturer or dealer
shall mark and number each gambling device, so that
it is individually identifiable. In cases of sale, delivery,
or shipment of gambling devices in unassembled form,
the manufacturer or dealer shall separately mark and
number the components of each gambling device with
a common mark and number as if it were an assembled
gambling device. It shall be unlawful for any manufac-
turer or dealer to sell, deliver, or ship any gambling de-
vice which is not marked and numbered for identifica-
tion as herein provided; and it shall be unlawful for any
manufacturer or dealer to manufacture, recondition,
repair, sell, deliver, or ship any gambling device with-
out having registered as required by this section, or
without filing monthly the required inventories and
records of sales and deliveries.’’
