Abstract: 19,375. Linotype & Machinery, Ltd., Pearce, H., and Billington, J. E. Aug. 30. Keyboards for typesetting, strip - perforating, type-bar making, and like machines. In typographical composing-machines wherein a shift is provided between the keyboard and the organs, such as escapements or stripperforating punches, controlled thereby, the shift is controlled by a light-touch key. The invention is shown applied to a machine of the Mergenthaler class, in which there are two magazines provided with escapements operated bv sets of reeds 22, 12 adapted to be engaged by a series of bars 61 which may be shifted tu engage either set of reeds and are operated from the keys through the usual relaymechanism comprising rotating rollers 34 adapted to engage cams 31 on levers 29. According to the present invention, the bars 61 are adapted to be shifted to engage either of the sets of escapement-reeds 22, 12, by means of relay-mechanism controlled from the light-touch key 126. The bars 61 are coupled by loops 114 to arms 113 on a shaft 112 provided with an arm 111 which is held in engagement with a cam 108 by a spring 116, the cam being integral with a disk 109 and a mutilated pinion 107, which is geared through a pinion 105 with a pinion 104 on one of the rollers 34. The disk 109 is provided with two slide-pins 118 adapted to be engaged by the end of a lever 124 which is coupled through a link 128 and a lever 129 to the shift-key 126. The pinion 107 is normally stationary, one of the two gaps in the teeth being presented to the pinion 105. On depression of the key 126, the lever 124 pushes out one of the pins 118 into the path of an involute arm 122 on the pinion 105, the arm serving to couple up the pinion 107 until the toothed part thereof engages the pinion 105. The pinion 107 is uncoupled after a half-revolution by means of a fixed cam 123 which pushes backwards the pin 118. During the rotation of the pinion 107, the cam 108 elevates or depresses the arm 111 and thereby shifts the arm 61. An indicator is provided for showing which magazine is in use. The indicator consists of tablets 133, 134 arranged behind a slide 136 provided with a sighting- slot and coupled by a link 138 to a lever 137 which engages the arm 111. Magazines.-The magazines may be provided with a fount of matrices which is continuous through all the magazines; thus two magazines, each carrying ninety matrices, may be provided with an alphabet of one hundred and eighty characters ; or, by forming each matrix with two characters, an alphabet of three hundred and sixty characters may be provided. The magazines may be superposed, or arranged side by side in the same plane.
