page_text: I, EDWARD LLOYD, of No. 5, Castle Hill Terrace, Bangor, in the county of Carnarvon,
Foreman Printer, do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
My invention relates to printors' galleys, and comprises improved means for securing
the type therein whereby a great saving of labor and time is effected.
In a galley constructed according to this invention, the sidestick is held permanently
located and adapted to slide therein so that it can be moved to suit any required width
of printing matter or type.
The quoins slide in grooves made on one side of the galley and of the sidestick, thus
saving the labor of fixing sidesticks and fitting quoins as is at present necessary.
Some advantages of this invention are that the type or printing matters can be
lifted and removed with ease as the sidestick does not interfere in the least with tho
operation and moreover it protects the type or printing matter from "pyeing" while
in course of "closing-up," that a proof can be pulled very rapidly, and that the
making-up of printing matter on the galley and sliding the same off onto the stone or
table can be done without any inconvenience being caused by the sidestick.
Another advantage of the improved "self-quoining" galley is that it will render
the purchase of separate sidesticks and quoins unnecessary as the sidestick and quoins
(as already stated) are located in the galley.
The improved galleys can be manufactured of brass, zinc, wood or any other
suitable material and of any length or width for news, bookwork or jobbing purposes.

page_text: I, EDWARD LLOYD, of No. 5, Castle Hill Terrace, Bangor, in the county of Carnarvon,
Foreman Printer, do hereby declaro the nature of this invention and in what manner
the same is to be performed to be particularly described and ascertained in and by
the following statement :-
My invention relates to printers' galleys, and comprises improved means for securing
the type therein, whereby a great saving of labor and time is effected.
According to the said invention the sidestick is permanently located in the galloy
and adapted to slide therein, so that it can be moved to suit any required width of
printing matter or type.
The quoins slide in grooves made on one side of the galley frame and of the
sidestick, thus saving the labor of fixing sidesticks and fitting quoins as is at present
necessary.
To enable my invention to be fully understood I will describe how it may be carried
into practice by reference to the accompanying drawing in which
Figure 1 is a plan of my improved galley, and,
Figure 2 an underside view of the same.
Figures 3, 4 and 5 are transverse sections on the lines A B, C D and E F respectively,
Figure 1, looking in the direction of the arrow 1, and
Figure 6 is a transverse section on the line G H, Figuro 1, looking in the direction
of the arrow 2.
Figure 7 is a longitudinal section on the line I, J, Figure 1, looking in the direction
of the arrow 3; and,
Figures 8 and 9 are longitudinal sections on the lines K L, M N, respectively,
Figure 1, looking in the direction of the arrow 4.
a is the bed or plate of the galley and b, c, d are strips which are secured to the
same on three sides by screws e, and which together constitute a kind of frame. In
the drawing these strips are represented as being made of wood and faced with metal
on the inner sides.
is the sidestick and g, g', g², g³ are the quoins. In order to allow of the adjustment
of the said sidestick, it is at one end provided with a tongue h which enters a
corresponding groove or recess i in the strip c, as shown in Figures 6, 8 and 9 and at
the other end with a screw j which slides in a slot k in the plate a. The quoins also
are provided with tongues 1, on their edges, as shown in Figure 4, adapted to slide
in the groove m in the sidestick and the groove m in the strip d, so that the said
quoins cannot fall out of place, and are thus always in position ready for tightening
the sidestick against the type.
Instead of forming the tongues and grooves hereinbefore described any other
suitable means may be employed for permitting the adjustment of the sidestick and
quoins without allowing them to drop out of position,

page_text: The improved galley can be manufactured of brass, zinc, wood or any other suitable
material and of any length or width for news, bookwork or jobbing purposes.
Some advantages of this invention are that the type or printing matters can he
lifted and removed with case as the sidestick does not interfere in the least with the
operation and moreover it protects the type or printing matter from "
pyeing" while
in course of "closing up;" that a proof can be pulled very rapidly; and that the
making-up of printing matter on tho galley and sliding the same off onto the stono or
table can be done without any inconvenience being caused by the sidestick.
Another advantage of the improved "self-quoining" galley is that it will render
the purchase of separate sidesticks and quoins unnecessary as the sidestick and quoins
(as already stated) are located in the galley.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed I declare that what I
claim is:-
1. A printer's galloy in which the sidestick and quoins are adapted to slide in
grooves or otherwise arranged so that they are prevented from falling out of the galley
frame and are always in position for use, substantially as described.
2. The manufacture and use of the improved printer's galley hereinbefore described
and illustrated in the accompanying drawing.
