THE TYPE RESERVOIR.
(See Figures 1, 3, 20, and 21).
The type reservoir consists of a vertical plate A, having in its rear face a series
of parallel vertical grooves A which are at a distance apart equal to the thick-
ness (flatwise) of a type, and are about a quarter of an inch deep, being inclined to
the face of the plate as shown in Figure 21. In these grooves are secured metal
strips a, which are the sides of the type channels A². The strips a are about an
inch shorter than plate A, so that a type holder al (Figure 20) can be set on top
of each type channel and the types allowed to descend into the channel. The
type holders a have their lower ends slotted at a so that they can be fitted into
the upper ends of grooves A with their sides directly over the strips
as shown
in Figure 21. The upper ends of the type holders, during the transfer of the types
to the channels may rest against a supporting bar a attached to the top of the
type reservoir as indicated in Figure 20.
The plate A is secured between the end uprights of the frame, inclined slightly
forwards (Figure 3) with the strips a at the rear, and the types descend with
their heads at the back, and are ejected with their butts at the front, through
suitable grooves in the lower edge of the plate A on to the carrier belt B which runs
horizontally in front of the plate.
In order to prevent the type ejectors C from pulling types backwards, the front
part of the ejector is made thinner than the type and a guard plate 6º is placed
at the back and lower ends of the type channels (Figure 3), the lower edge of
this plate being notched to allow the ejector to pass under it but not the type.
This is practically a very useful arrangement.

page_text: pivoted behind the retractor and adapted to engage a shoulder 1 of the retractor
and lock it in its forward position (Figure 3). Each catch e is connected by a
rod e' to a bell crank c³, connected by a rod e³ to an oscillating key piece loosely
pivoted on a horizontal rod beneath the bank of keys. Each key piece is
returned to normal position by a spring which has its one end hooked around the
short arm of the lever and its other end fixed to an adjustable collar e fixed
en rod by a set scrow (Figure 3). Upon depressing a key & the catch e is dis-
engaged from its retractor D', and then a dog d on meeting the retractor pushes it
back (Figure 4), and raises the push rod C³, which operates the ejector C, the
proper type being thus delivered onto the belt B. When the rod C³ rises, the
upper end of the lever E is moved by the projection C³, thereby causing the lower
end to turn the retractor D' back toward the shaft D and the catch e locks it
until the key is again depressed. This action is almost instantaneous so that
only one type is ejected when a koy is depressed. By holding down a key several
types can be ejected successively.
The shaft D is driven continuously from the main shaft Z by a train of
gearing Z (Figure 3).
The sockets for the dogs d are arranged in longitudinal rows on the shaft D.
The bell crank levers may be constructed as shown in Figures 3 and 19, the
horizontal arm being pivotted to the vertical arm at C but held at right angles
to it by a spring C which is strong enough to operate the ejector C, but when
the ejector is obstructed by a misplaced type, the spring C yields and breakage is
prevented.
THE TYPE COMPOSING MECHANISM.
(See Figures 1, 2, 25).
The belt B runs over pulleys B, B at opposite ends of the machine and is
arranged and operated substantially as previously described, except that the right
hand pulley 13 is driven by means of shaft B3 and bevel gearing B', B³, from the
main shaft, so that by changing the gear the speed of the belt can be varied
› without varying the speed of the justifying mechanism.
The belt B delivers the types into a channel in the lower end of a plate b
attached above to the left hand side of the type reservoir and extending down and
partly around the pulley 13. The channel 6 directs the types into a slot F' in
the side of the receiving galley stand F from which the types are immediately
pushed by a rotary pusher G into a channel of the receiver herein after
described.
"6
This pusher is fixed on a shaft G (Figures 8, 16, 17, and 25) which is journalled
eccentrically in a rock sleeve G³ mounted in a cylindrical bore 13 in stand F. On
the rear end of shaft G¹ is a pulley (Figure 8) driven by a band gl from a
pulley on a stud attached to bracket in rear of plate 6 and above the
stand F. The pulley is attached to or formed with a pinion which gears
with a pinion g on another stud suitably mounted in a bracket beside pulley g³,
and provided with a bevel pinion g6, gearing with a bevel pinion g7 on the main
shaft Z (Figures 8 and 25). Thus the pusher is continuously rotated.
THE LINE
SILIFTING AND JUSTIFYING MECHANISM.
(See Figures 2 to 13.)
This is constructed much like that described in the previous Specification.
To the left-hand side of the stand F is attached one end of a cylindrical casing H
(Figure 2) within which is a guide having a stud (Figures 6 and 8) attached
to its right hand end, on which is journalled the rotary type-line-receiver I having
in its periphery a number of longitudinal radial type receiving channels 1', which
vre adapted to first coincide with the slot in the galley stand F, so that the
pu-her (i can force the types into them, and afterwards to coincide with another
slot in the side of the galley to allow the justified line of type to be moved
from the receiver into the galley.

page_text: The casing His slotted at H (Figures 2 and 12) over the rotary receiver I, so
that about three of the channels I are always exposed, namely, those coinciding
with the slots and f; and the intermediate channel.
The casing His stationary, but the receiver I is rotated intermittently, so as
to move its channels successively into coincidence with the slot F, by means of
a pawl J (Figure 8) on a vertical rod J' jointed to the front arm of an oscillating
lever J having on its other arm a roller J³ engaged in the groove of a cam J
mounted on a shaft in rear of the casing. The upper end of the rod J is guided
in an eye Jo on the rear side of the casing H and the pawl J works through a
slot H in the casing and engages with the channels I¹ of the receiver I.
=
The receiver is locked, except at the moment of rotation by means of a bolt j
(Figure 6) which is guided in a block attached to the under side of the casing H
and works through a slot II in the casing. The bolt is connected to a short
ink on the front end of an oscillating lever, by a pin jo working in slots
in the link, so that the bolt has a slight play and cannot bind the receiver, if
it should be moved up before the receiver is in correct position. A spring
attached to the lever jurges the bolt j upwards. On the rear end of the lever j¹
is a roller engaged in the groove of a cam 8 on the shaft .
In each channel of the receiver I is a follower plate I which is longer than the
receiver and projects beyond its left end. The follower plates 13 are pushed back,
along the slots, by the entering type and after types enough for a line are received
in a channel, the receiver is turned so as to bring an empty slot into position to
receive types. When the channel containing the line of types is brought into
coincidence with the galley slot f, the follower I in the channel is moved forward
by means of a slide K forcing the line out into the galley and justifying it by
compression.
Ou the front side of his a dovetailed groove forming a guide way for the
reciprocating slide K which has a dovetailed flange engaging in the groove, so that
it can be slid to and fro on h by means of a lever k on a rock shaft (Figures 2
and 5) which has on its rear end a crank arm A, connected by a link to a pivotted
lever having on its end a friction roller engaged in the groove of a cam k
on shaft (Figure 9).
When the slide K has nearly completed its stroke, ejecting the types from a
channel, it passes a wedge L (Figure 13) lying in a transverse guide way h in h
and projecting through an opening in the rear side of casing H (Figure 5). This
wedge L is connected at its rear end to a yoke L' having a gab including the
shaft z beside a crank arm L' carrying a friction roller L³ which acts on a flange L'
on the side of the yoke L' and force the yoke and wedge L forward. They are
pushed back by a spring on a rod b projecting from the rear side of the casing H
through a hole at L on the yoke. The lower end of the flange L is curved at L³
(Figure 5) so as to render the return movement of the yoke and wedge more
gradual.
Just as the slide K passes to the right of the wedge L (Figure 13), the wedge
is moved outwards and its bevelled end acts on the rear end of the slide K and
causes it to complete its stroke with great force. The slide may have a friction
roiler K³ in its edge for the action of the wedge.
The sides of the slot h in h (Figure 13) are made inclined, and adjustable
inclined liners, h³ ³ are placed on opposite sides of the wedge L. By shifting
the liners, the position of the wedge L can be adjusted laterally, to enable
the compression of the lines to be effected with the greatest nicety. This wedge
action is very powerful and while it relieves the levers which actuate the slide K
of strain, it ensures the exact and equal justification of the lines of type.
The end of the follower 12 has to be pushed into the slot f so as to move the
lines of type fully into the galley F, and it has then to be retracted out of the
slot f in order that the receiver I may be rotated; this is accomplished as follows
(Figures 2, 5, and 12):
:-
A retractor plate i is attached to the upper edge of the opening H* in casing H,

page_text: by means of screws i passing through slots in i so that it has a certain limited
play. This retractor i extends beyond the end of the opening H into a slot H³
in the casing, and has on its front end a tooth which lies in such position that
when a follower I is moved, with a line of unjustified type into coincidence with
the slot f in the galley, this follower Is lies under the tooth of the retractor,
and when the follower is forced to the right so as to eject the line of type into the
galley, a tooth I³, on the outer edge and rear end of the follower engages with
tooth of the retractor and pulls the latter slightly forward. Afterwards slide K
is moved back and just before reaching its extreme position at the left of the
casing, it strikes a tooth on the rear end of the retractor i and draws the latter
backward, and with it the follower which had just ejected a line into the galley.
This operation is repeated for each follower, the retractor i lying in such position
that its tooth engages with the tooth of the follower 12 in any channel I' when
it coincides with the slot f.
The followers I are retracted from the slot f before rotation of the receiver I
and before a channel I coincides with the slot F, the follower I in it is put in
proper position by its end bearing against the annular cam surface ho on the
inner end of h.
The pasher G pushes the types one by one into the channels of the receiver,
through the slot and as the ends of the pusher project slightly into the channels,
the receiver might be locked by the pusher, or the pusher damaged if it were
unyielding. But as the pusher is mounted in the rocking bearing G³ it can be
moved back out of the way simultaneously with the unlocking of the receiver
and returned to normal position simultaneously with the locking of the receiver
by the following means (see Figure 6):-
To the rear end of G is attached a short arm G' connected by a rod G³ to
an arm Go on a rock shaft G7 which has an eccentric pin Gs (Figure 23) on its
other end engaging a slot in the bolt j (Figure 22) so that G is rocked
simultaneously with, and by, the vertical reciprocation of the bolt j, and thus
the shaft G, and the pusher Gare moved from the receiver, when it is unlocked
to be rotated and only towards the receiver when it is locked.
The shaft is rotated only once after each line of type is composed, by the
ollowing means (Figures 9, 10, 11):
On the right hand end of shaft z is a worm wheel M which is intermittently
engaged (at the will of the operator) with the worm M¹ on the end of a shaft m
journalled in a hanger N suspended on the shaft Z. The shaft m has a bevel
pinion m gearing with a bevel pinion m2 on the shaft 7, so that worm M' is
continuously rotated while the machine is in operation.
From the hanger N depends an arm N' which is connected by a link N* to a
crank arm on the end of a horizontal rock shaft n' below the key board, and
having on its right hand end a hand lever n (Figures 1, 9, and 11). A spring N³
is arranged to pull back the link thereby moving N up and throwing the
worm M out of gear with M³ until the lever n is depressed.
It is necessary that the shaft make one complete revolution every time a line
is to be justified, and to relieve the operator of the necessity of holding down the
lever n during the justification of a line, a latch V is pivotted on a suitable support
above the shaft in rear of the arm №¹ in such a position that when N is swung
so as to throw the worm M' into engagement with M, a spring V turns the
latch behind the arm and locks it (Figures 9 and 10), thus keeping the worm M'
engaged with M. The latch has a bevelled lug on its side lying over the boss
of when the latch locks the arm M, and a stud attached to the boss comes
in contact with the bevelled edge of the lug and forces it to one side, thus
disengaging the latch V from the arm N' and allowing the spring N³ to throw the
worm out of gear with M. The stud just clears the lug as the latch V
disengages the arm N1, consequently when the lever n is again depressed the latch
locks the arm N and the shaft makes a complete revolution before the pin v¹
again disengages the latch V from the arm N¹.

page_text: The types entering the galley F through the slot f pass between a vertically
movable rule 0, and a plunger of (Figures 2, 7, 12 to 14).
The machine has interchangeable rules of different lengths, each having a
shank on one end to fit into a corresponding slot 0 in the upper end of the
side bar O of a vertically movable frame 0+ (Figures 7 and 15) the rule being
fastened by a thumb screw 0. The frame is mounted on the galley support
below the galley F and is reciprocated up and down by means of links o jointed
to the front end of a bell crank lever o¹, the rear end of which has a friction
reller o² engaged in the groove of a cam o³ on the shaft z so that the rule O is
raised and lowered once for each rotation of the shaft z.
The plunger of (Figure 7) is drawn up by a spring 07, and is pushed down by
an arm and a lever which has a stud of carrying a screw 68 that impinges
against arm³, so that the amount of movement of arm can be nicely regulated.

MEANS FOR LEADING THE COMPOSED AND JUSTIFIED TYPE.
(Figure 7).
Beneath the galley F and in front of the frame O is detachably secured a box P
holding leads and resting at one side in a rabbet in the stand and at the other side
supported by spring catches "attached to the side of the galley.
66
Within this box is a plunger P pressed toward O' by a spring P³ on a rod P. The
"
leads are placed in the box in front of the plunger P and are successively lifted
into the galley, through a transverse slot F directly in line with slot f, by means
of a plate l' attached to frame ()*.
This operation is briefly as follows:-
The plunger of being retracted, the rule is lowered into the galley, then the
line of types is pushed into the galley through slot f, between the rule O and the
plunger Then rule O rises, and simultaneously the plate Pe lifts a lead Ps up
through the slot in the bottom of galley behind the line of type just entered, and
then the plunger of moves the lead and justified line down against the previously
composed matter, and is retracted out of the way of the rule which descends ready
for the entrance of another line.
"
An important feature of the present invention is that the machine can set and
justify lines of any desired length, from 13" ems to 26 "ems," or more, by the
same mechanism, simply by varying the width of the galley, and changing the
leads and rules.
"
For example, supposing the machine, as shown in Figures 1, 2, and 12, is
adapted to set lines 26 ems" in length, and it is desired to make the lines
13 "ems" in length; to do this (see Figures 14 and 15) a filling piece is placed
ine galley below the slot F, which will narrow its width 13 "ems," the 26" em
rule is detached, and replaced by a 13 em rule, the rules being inter-
changeable, and 13 " em leads are placed in box P. The operation of the machine
will then proceed exactly as if 26 em lines were being justified, except, of
course, that the justifying mechanism must operate twice as often as when setting
26" em lines.

THE SPACE MAKING MECHANISM.
(Figures 1, 2, 8, and 25).
In rear of the plate b, and above and gearing with pinion g' is a wheel Q
loosely mounted on a shaft Q' between friction discs Qª keyed on the shaft and
embracing the wheel. On the front end of the shaft Q', is keyed a dise Q³ having
a cam groove engaging a roller on the end of an arm 7 attached to a shaft g¹
journalled in a bracket in the rear of plate b, and having on its front end a vertical
arm which engages a notch in the underside of a horizontal cutter q³ lying in
a horizontal groove in the face of the plate b near its upper end.
Near, and just below, the cutting edge of the cutter 73 is a pair of crimping

page_text: jaws R, RI (Figure 25) also placed in a recess in the plate b; R is stationary, but
R¹ is movable toward or from the former, by an eccentric pin on the front end of a
shaft which is journalled in a suitable support above the shaft Q', and is driven
by a pinion gearing with a pinion Q fixed on the shaft Q'.
Just above the crimping jaws are a pair of feed rollers S, S¹, lying in recesses
in the front face of plate b, and mounted on shafts,, geared together; on
the rear end of the shaft 8 is a pinion s¹ (Figures 8 and 25) which is intermittently
geared by a toothed segment on the shaft (Figure 18) so that the shafts
receive only about one third of a revolution for each revolution of shaft r'.
On the front end of the shafts, which projects through plate b, is a notched
discs (Figure 2) engaged by a spring pressed pawl which is pivotted on the
plate and locks the shafts so as to prevent back leash when the segment is
disengaged from the pinion s', and thus the pinion is held in position to be properly
re-engaged by the segment. The feed rolls are operated intermittently, but the
wheel Q is rotated continuously during the operation of the machine. The shaft Q',
however, is locked, except when it is desired to make a space, by means of a
catch T pivotted behind the plate b and engaging a detent on the periphery of the
disc Q3 (Figure 25). This catch is controlled by a swinging pawl T which can
be disengaged from the catch by means of a trigger T pivotted on the frame and
connected by a rod T to an arm T (Figure 2) on a rock shaft T which supports
the space bar T8 by means of arms T. Thus when the space bar is depressed, the
space-making mechanism is released, and the shafts Q' and r, make one revolution
and the shafts about one third of a revolution, causing the rolls S, S', to feed in
the proper length of lead ribbon to make a space. The lead ribbon is drawn
from a spool supported on a bracket above the feed rolls, the spool having a
brake if necessary to prevent its revolving by momentum. The ribbon is fed by
the rolls past the cutter 3 and down between the jaws R, R', and when the feed
rolls stop, the cutter is moved and severs the blank, which is simultaneously
crimped by the jaws, and is subsequently released and drops through a channel
in the plate b and the lower end of channel 6' into the slot F in front of pusher
G, like a type. The parts are so timed, however, that the crimping jaws R, R',
stop moving just before they release the crimping space, consequently a complete
space is always hanging between the jaws for instant delivery, so that the moment
the space bar is touched and the shaft Q commences to revolve, a space is delivered
in front of the pusher, while a fresh space is formed and held ready for instant
delivery the next time the space bar is touched.
The sliding crimpers are preferable to rotary ones, for they make every space
exactly alike, whereas rotary crimpers are apt to vary spaces somewhat.
THE LINE ALARM AND INDICATOR.
(As shewn in Figures 1-and in-26, 27, 28, and 29).
In rear of the retractor plate i is a longitudinally movable bar W suspended at
its ends by links W pivotled to vertical brackets W on the casing II, and on this
bar is an adjustable collar w which can be fixed by a set screw ', and has a
depending finger 10 which passes through a slot in the casing H and is beut forward
below the retractor plate i, into position to be struck by the end of a follower P
as it is pushed out of a channel 1 by the entering line of types.
In rear of bar W is a bracket U carrying a gong 17 and a hammer is fixed
on the end of a spring wire U which is coiled around and secured on a rock shaft
T3 journalled in the bracket L, and provided on its front end with a dog 14 which
when raised lifts the hammer away from the gong and strains the spring U. A
stop pin 15 is attached to the bracket to arrest the drop of the dog U, at such a
point that the hammer due to its momentum can strike the gong and then
rebound. Below the dog is pivotted a lever a³ on one end of which is pivotted
a trip, held at right angles to the lever by a spring and a stop pin a', and on
the other end of the lever a is a pin which lies under and bears against the
underside of the bar W. When the bar W is in normal position the pin u* rests

page_text: in a notch W³ in the underside of the bar and the trip is under the tooth of the
dog U⚫.
As the types are composed, the follower I is pushed back toward the finger w³,
and just as the line is completed the follower strikes the finger to and pushes it
back, thereby causing the bar W to move back and the pin to pass down out of
the notch W³, and rock the lever . This movement of the lever ³ raises the trip
and the dog U momentarily and then disengages Us, allowing it to drop, and
the hammer to strike the gong, apprising the compositor of the completion of the
line.
When the bar W is drawn back to normal position, as hereinafter described,
upon the commencement of a new line, the pin is returned into notch W³,
by the action of a spring u³ which pushes up the rear end of the lever u³, the
trip u yielding as it passes the tooth of the dog U*.
The bar W is connected by a rod W to an indicator X which indicates the
amount of oversetting of a line, and is contained in a small case 7 attached to the
machine above the key-board, in convenient position to be seen.
The indicator X has a segmental head and a stem X' keyed on one end of a
shaft X journalled in the front and rear plates of the case 78, and on the other
end of this shaft is a depending arm X³ to which the rod W is jointed, so that
as the bar W is moved back, the indicator X is rocked, and its head is moved past
a segmental opening in the front of the case 73. A coiled spring X* is connected
to the shaft X so as to return the indicator X and the bar W to normal position
upon the commencement of a new line.
THE SPACE INDICATOR FOR LINES.
Within the case 78 is a segment Y loose on the shaft Xs in rear of
the indicator X, this segment having ratchet teeth Y' engaged by an anchor pawl y
which is pivotted just above the segment Y and is rocked by means of a rod y¹
connecting it with one arin of a bell crank y2 which is pivotted beside and below
the dog T with its free arm underlying the dog in position to be struck thereby,
so that whenever the rod T is depressed putting the space-making mechanism in
operation and a space is delivered to the composing mechanism, the pawl y is
rocked and allows the segment Y to be turned on its axis by a spring which
turns the segment in the same direction as indicator X when it is turned by the
pull of the bar W.
An indicator Y is attached to the segment Y and projects through the opening
in the front of case Z8 beside an index scale Y+.
To one side of the segment Y is jointed a slotted link which is also jointed
to one arm of a bell crank lever ³, its other arm being connected by a rod to
the upper end of a lever r, the lower end of which stands in the path of the pin
which controls latch V previously described with reference to Figure 10 so that
the pin will rock the lever r, and through its connections ³,, ', draw the
segment back to its normal position.
Whenever a space is delivered to the line being composed the indicator Y³ is
moved to the right, and the operator can at any time tell how many spaces are in
the line. When the line is nearly complete the indicator X begins to move,
following up the space indicator Y, and after the gong sounds the operator
uay continue to set type until the indicator W catches up with the space
indicator Y³, there being then enough of the compressible spaces in the line to
admit of its justification by compression.

tion and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what I
