through the operation of lever placed
at the side of the typewriter, Popular
Mechanics states. This holder il
mounted on the desk just back Of the
typewriter, SO that the copy will hold

eye. The line finder is stationary,
while the portion Of the device that
supports the copy is raised one line
when the lever is pressed down, or
lowered one line when the lever -

to any spacing from one thirty-second

who are tempted to send their money

when you buy an engine from YOU
