tween the rolls, the other is held back
until the channel is clear, when it
follows. After passing the separat-
ors the type are guided, one at a
time, to what is called the packer.
On entering the packer the type run
on cam, by which they are lifted !;
a roller, bearing on a piece called the
hook, which is pressed forward by "a
spring, holds the type lightly against
the inner wall of the channel. A
part known as the hammer now pushes
against the foot of the type and carries
it forward to proper position. The
packer is capable of handling over six
hundred type per minute. Type sue
coed each other III the packer, forming
tends across the back of the keyboard,
the face of the type in this line being
in view of the operator.
METHOD OF JUSTIFYING.
| At the left of the keyboard is the
1ustifying mechanism, and the channel
through which the long line passes
leads to this, the type in the line
now being on its feet. When the long
line has been filled, the operator, who
is seated on n chair which is supported
by an arm attached to the base of the
machine, swings his chair around e
the left, and with small instrument
known as a grab, (which he carries
in his left hand, separates from the
long line enough matter to PRACTICAL.
fill a line of the width of the column
being set. Between each word IL
the line three-em space is playe'

creases or reduces the width of thes
spaces enough to properly justify tin
line, reading the line as he does so
and correcting amy errors he may hav

and free from errors. Any error
which may be overlooked and appea

A convenient feature in the just
flying mechanism is the fact tina
the spaces and quads distribute direct

reach when justifying. These sort

THE LOADING MECHANISM.

On a solid upright, fastened at the
top to the crosshead, and at the lower
end to ring attached to the bottom
of the lower cylinder, is bracket
upon which is placed galley of dead
type for distribution. The mechan-
ism for loading the channels of the
distributing cylinder with lines of
dead type from this galley is also at
tached to the upright, and its shaft is
connected by gears with the shaft of
the cam which moves the cylinder so
that the two parts work in unison.
The working parts of the loading
mechanism consist of an arm, actu-
ated by cam, for lifting the weights
| in the channels of the distributing
cylinder; a plunger for pushing "a
single line of dead matter into the
channel when the weight is raised,
which plunger is operated by an arm
connected with second cam; and a
device for making these parts operate
whenever an empty channel comes to
the loading point as the distributing
cylinder revolves These parts are
all driven by a single shaft on which
are the two cams and the releasing
mechanism.
A galley of dead type being placed
on the loader bracket, with face OF
type outward, the distributor is start
ed. When channel is empty it,
weight, as it reaches the loading
point, trips the trigger on the releas
ing mechanism, thus moving tn,
pawl with which it is connected, per
hitting the driving pawl to engage
with a rachel on the driving paw
plate. This starts the vertical LITE
and plunger cam shaft, which shat
makes one complete revolution tn,

and as it reaches it's first position j

line of type, and pulls the plungeI
back.
THE SETTING MECHANISM.
On the setting mechanism is key
board with ninety Keystone for each
channel in the cylinder-each key
being connected by levers and wires
with a small plunger at the bottom
of its particular channel. The front
end of the plunger rests Immediately
behind the foot of the bottom type
in its channel, the plunger being less
in thickness than this type. When
key is depressed on the board, its
corresponding plunger is moved for
ward, carrying one type out ahead OF
it. The keys work very lightly, and
their action is practically instan-
taneous.
The characters most used are locat-
ed in channels having most convent
ent position, and the keys on the
board are correspondingly arranged.
Playing forward any succession OF
keys may be played with greatest
rapidity, and the type key each re-
presents will come into line in the
desired order. Taking advantage of
| tllloY tttttIo oSSb
words and syllables are arranged to
assist the speed of operators for in
stance, "and, " CON- 'the," etc.
Operators should memorize all pos
sible combinations.
When elected by the plungers, as
described, the type is pushed upon
the fat upper surface of disk which
encircles the bottom of the cylinder,
its upper surface being on level
with the bottom of the channels. This
disc revolves rapidly, and the type
elected upon it are swiftly carried
around to the right hand side of the
machine, where switch or guide
defects the type off the disc and upon
travelling fat belt, running parallel
with the edge of the disc at this
point, by which the type is carried
forward to a point directly back of
the keyboard and somewhat above it.
About half way between where
the type leaves the disc and the
point to which they are conveyed by
the belt, is little device called the
separator, consisting of two rolls re-
volving rapidly in direction OPP
posite the motion of the belt. There
is just enough distance between the
two rolls to permit the free passage
of a single type. If the operator
plays two type which reach this
point side by side, one passes be-
