Fig. 1 shows a rear view of a machine. The hammer 15 is carried by a horizontal shaft, acted on by a coiled driving spring, not shown. A projection 32 on the hammer engages a frame 24, movable about a shaft 22, and having a pawl 25 in engagement with a ratchet-wheel 20, loose thereon. The wheel 20 is connected by a pinion and a sliding rack 19 with a toothed spring barrel 18. When any key is depressed, it rocks a frame and a lever 29 so that a projection 26 on this engages the ratchet-wheel 20, and another projection withdraws the pawl 25 from the wheel, permitting the hammer to operate. When the key is released, the pawl 25 is re-engaged with the wheel 20, and the stop 26 withdrawn ; the spring barrel 18 then moves the rack 19 and wheel 20, lowering the pawl 25 and frame 24 until this bears on a stop, the hammer being thus reset. The inking-roller, covered with felt saturated with ink, is carried in a light curved lever 5, connectel by an angle lever 8 and pin-and-slot joints with an arm of the shaft, of the hammer. A fixed plate 57 exposes only the selected type, over which the inking-roller moves upward as the hammer moves forward, the roller stopping above the hammer and paper. For differential spacing, the carriage is connected by a rack with another spring barrel, and with a pinion on a wheel 41, geared to a ratchet-wheel 61, shown separately in Fig. 7. The carriage rack is adjacent to the hammer-setting rack 19, and a latch 55 is provided for returning both together. When a key is depressed, a lever 67 is oscillated and raises a wedge 72 and a slotted plate 66, applying a detaining-pawl 70 to the ratchet-wheel 61, and lifting a pawl 63. The pawl 63 is then moved to the right, Fig. 7, by a lever 62, a link 60 connected to a swinging frame below the keys, and a spring, until one of various projections on the swinging frame bears against a projection on the depressed key. When the key is released, the wedge 72 and plate 66 are dropped, the pawl 70 leaving and the pawl 63 engaging the wheel 61, which then moves with the carriage, the pawl 63, and the swinging frame until the lever 62 moves the detaining-pawl 70 into engagement with the ratchet-wheel. Other forms of escapement may be used.
