Distributing matrices; magazines; escapements.-Multiple-magazine machines are pro-' vided with distributing-apparatus which, as the result of a single testing of each matrix, delivers the matrices to the proper magazine without interference with the concurrent assembling of matrices from any magazine. (1) The magazines 10, Fig. 10, are removably supported in a swinging frame 20 supported on an axis 72 in the main frame 70 so that any magazine can be brought over the assembling-channels. The magazines are secured in the frame by bars 16 near their lower ends, having V-shaped grooves which engage bars 21 on the frame. The magazines may thus be slid out edgeways and are held in place by latches 137. The swinging frame is adjusted by rack mechanism operated by a hand-lever 134. The escapements are operated by levers 12, Fig. 11, carried by the magazines, these levers being in turn operated by a single set of levers 13 and reeds 14 from key-levers. (2) The distributor comprises an upper fixed part 30, Fig. 1, which separates the matrices according to character, and a lower part 40 carried by the swinging frame 20 which delivers the matrices to the proper magazine. The upper part of the distributor is of the kind described in Specifications 22,994/04 and 18,201/07 and comprises repeatedly bifurcated channels and movable gates arranged in successive rows, the gates of each row being connected together and operated in unison.
