Improvements in Machines for Making Justified Lines of Type.
A communication from THE LANSTON MONOTYPE MACHINE COMPANY, a
corporation organized under the laws of West Virginia, United States of
America, and having its principal place of business at Washington, D.C.
I, ALFRED JULIUS BOULT, of 111 Hafton Garden, in the County of Middlesex,
Chartered Patent Agent, do hereby declare 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:-
This invention relates to improvements in that class of machines in which
individual types are made and set up in justified lines by a continuous process, the
said machines being controlled by suitable previously prepared record strips or
controllers containing a record of the matter to be composed.
I will premise with a general description of the parts of the machine and what
they accomplish in order that the detail description which is to follow may be
more readily understood.
Two perforated strips or ribbons of paper are employed for rendering the
machine operative to form type. In one of these strips special perforations are
made for operating upon the devices controlled by that particular ribbon to adjust
the machine for the formation of types for any particular line in such manner as
that the bodies of some or all of said type (and in this machine the bodies of the
space type only) when formed by the machine will be varied from the normal in
such degree that when all the type are assembled, they will exactly fill the line,
or in other words, will produce a justified line, while corresponding perforations in
both of the strips will operate to center one after another of the several dies
corresponding to the types which those perforations respectively designate and set
in action the type forming mechanism as well as the mechanism for assembling the
completed type in lines and arranging the lines in a galley or form.
The dies or matrices are all arranged in a case that is controlled by two frames
that slide at right angles to each other so as to bring any particular die to a
common centering point according to the amount of movement given said sliding
frame respectively, the sliding frames themselves in turn being operated from
movable pin carriages, that are provided with pins which when projected are
adapted to cooperate with corresponding cam grooves in certain rotary cam cylinders.
The projection of these pins into their corresponding cam grooves in the cam
cylinders is effected through suitable intermediate mechanism controlled by the
perforations in the paper record strips. To illustrate this let it be supposed that
the matrix die, for the formation of the letter A is to be brought to the centering
point. In this instance, the perforations representing the letter A in the two
record strips will, through the mechanism controlled by said perforations project
the corresponding pins of the two carriages on the right and left hand side of the
machine into the rotary cam cylinders and the rotation of said cylinders will cause
the pins and their carriages and the connected sliding frames to shift the die case
and bring the die A to the centering point.
When the desired die has been brought to the centering point, a plunger located
above the die case at said point is automatically depressed so as to move down the
centered die from out of the die case to form the top of one of a series of molds in
a rotating mold wheel located beneath the die case in which the type is to be

page_text: formed and after the die has thus been brought into cooperation with the said
mold a nozzle leading from a reservoir of hot type metal is automatically inserted
in the bottom of the mold and by automatic pumping mechanism hot metal is
forced into the mold to form the type after which the die depressing plunger and
the pump nozzle and the die centering devices resume their positions, the mold
with the type within it is rotated through a portion of the circle so as to bring a
new mold into position at the centering point and so as to enable the formed type to
be ejected into a trough or guide where it remains until the types for the whole of
the proposed line have been brought one after another into said trough or guide
behind it when the whole line is, by certain automatic appliances swept or slid
into a galley prepared for its reception, the galley in turn being automatically
advanced after the reception of each line of type.
Having thus given an outline of the machine, I will now proceed to describe it
in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings, in which:

Similar letters and numbers of reference in the several figures indicate the same
parts.
Referring particularly to Figures 1, 6, 7 and 11 the part numbered 140
represents the case or holder in which the dies or matrices are contained. In this
particular machine the die case is adapted to accommodate two hundred and ten
dies as shown in the bottom plan view, Figure 6, though of course this number
may be varied if desired. Each of the dies consists of a squared portion or
head 151 having the character represented by the die formed in intaglio in its face
(Figure 11) and guided in one of the correspondingly shaped apertures formed by
the partitions 147 and 148 of the die case (Figure 6); a rounded shank portion 149
guided in the upper plate 152 of the die case and provided with washers 141"
and 141b between which a coil spring 150 is arranged so that when a die is
depressed by a pressure upon its upper end it will be returned automatically to
normal position by means of the spring.
The die case is provided with a flange 153 and rests upon and is supported by a
sliding frame 142 the said frame embracing two opposite sides of said die case
(Figures 7 and 11)..
At right angles to the frame 142 is another sliding frame 143 which embraces
the two remaining opposite sides of the die case as shown in Figure 7. 144 repre-
sents the guides for the lower frame 142, and 145 represents the guides for the
upper frame 143.
The lower sliding frame 142 is connected to the pin carriage 118 (Figures 101.
and 102) by an adjustable screw connection 1461 (Figure 7) while the upper
sliding frame 143 is in like manner connected to the pin carriage 118 on the right
hand side of the machine (Figures 1 and 7) by an adjustable screw connection 146"
(Figure 7). From the manner in which the die case is embraced by the two
sliding frames it is evident that the motion of one frame will move it in one
direction and that the motion of the other frame will move it in a direction at right
angles to the movement caused by the other frame. In order therefore to bring
any particular die to the centering point or in other words beneath the depressing
plunger 156 (Figure 10) it is only necessary that one sliding frame shall move the
die case till the row of dies in which the die desired to be centered is located is
brought in line with the said plunger and that the other sliding frame shall move
so as to advance said die along that line till it stands beneath the plunger, which
movements of the sliding frame might be either simultaneous or successive but in
this machine they are designed to be simultaneous as the two pin carriages are
simultaneously operated by the record strips and the interreneing mechanism.
In this particular machine each of the pin carriages of which the right one is
shown in Figure 3 and the left one in Figure 102 is provided with a series of
sliding pins 113 fifteen in number (Figures 46, 47, 48, and 38). Each of these
pins at its rear end is perforated vertically and through it extends a vertical
pin 111 that has a head 110 on its lower end while its upper portion is surrounded
by a spring 112 that is confined between two washers 112 and 112 the former of
which bears against a pin 112 and the latter of which rests upon the pin frame as
shown in Figures 46, 47 and 48. Normally the vertical pins 111 are kept raised
by their springs 112 as shown in Figures 46, 48 so as to be out of the path of the
vibratory bar 120 said last mentioned bar being mounted on arms 121 secured to a
rock shaft 122 (Figures 46, 47 102) that is rocked back and forth by means of a
crank 125', rud 126 rocking lever 128' mounted on shaft 129 having a pin and

page_text: roller 130¹ which engages a cam groove 131' formed in the side of a cam wheel B'
(Figure 49).
Another arm 121 (Figures 46, 47) mounted upon the rock shaft 122 and
connected to and moved with the arms 121 carries a bar 121 whose upper or
operating edge is at all times in the plane of the head 110 of the vertical pin 111
from which construction it results that when the vertical pin 111 is depressed it
will be struck by the vibrating bar 120 in its forward throw and driven forward
till its front end engages with the corresponding cam groove in the cam cylinder B
or B' as shown in Figures 46, 47, 29 and when the bar 121 is vibrated backward
it will strike the bead of said pin 111 and move it back out of engagement with
the said cylinder and into normal position.
As shown in Figures 46, 48 the sides of the vertical pin 111 are flattened at 111*
and at 111 so that said pin may be prevented from turning in the slot 113" of the
pin carriage in which the said pins work.
In this connection, it may be stated that when a depressed pin 111 is struck by
the bar 120 and pushed with the pin 113 forward the shoulders on the head of 110
of said pin 111 lie beneath the pin carriage thus preventing the rising of the pin
until the pin 113 which carries it has been retracted to normal position. It may
be also stated that when the pin 113 is thus retracted and the vertical pin 111 is
caused by its spring to rise, the head of pin 111 stands opposite the lower
plate of the pin carriage and prevents the pin 113 from being pushed forward.
A bar or plate 110 arrests the pin 113 on its backward movement, as shown in
Figure 46.
To avoid confusion in the reading of this Specification, I would state, that
wherever the letter or the letter r is referred to in connection with the number of
a part it is meant to indicate that the particular part belongs to the left or to the
right side of the machine and is a duplicate of a part on the other side of the
machine.
It will be next in order to describe the mechanism by which the vertical pins 111
are depressed by the operation of the paper strip and intermediate mechanism so
as to render operative the pins 113 of the pin carriage.
Referring to Figures 34 to 37 and particularly to 38 1 represents a spool upon
which the perforated record strip 64 is wound, 54 a friction and guide roll mounted
in swinging arms 63 for pressing upon the record strip and giving it proper tension.
6 are springs provided with adjusting screws for varying the pressure of the roll 54.
100 is another guide roll for the strip. 97 a cylinder provided with perforations 105
over which the paper strip passes and 18 a spool upon which the strip is rewound.
41 are a series of pins which depend from a series of levers 2 that are pivoted at
their front ends at 3 and each of which has connected to its rear end a vertical
bar 102 (Figure 38). 9 is a cross bàr extending across the tops of all the levers 2.
9 (Figure 41) are a series of pins pivoted to the upper portions of the levers 2 and
extending up into hollow screws 4 carried by the cross bar 9 and having springs 9
surrounding them and interposed between their heads and the said screws 4.
These springs 9 are employed to press the pins 41 down upon the record strip
and by adjusting the screws 4 their tension can be regulated. 5 represents a
frame to which the levers 2 are pivoted and which carries the cross bar 9 above
referred to. This frame is pivoted at 101 to the main frame and it can be
swung up on said pivot so as to give access to the perforated cylinder 97. 8' is a
locking bolt for securing the said frame when it is swung down and in operative
position.
Each of the vertical bars 102 (Figure 38) is provided with a recess 104 into
which a cross bar 29 carried by arms 28, 28 (Figure 34) projects. These arms
are hung loosely upon a cross shaft 30, as shown in Figure 34. An arm 66
projects beneath the cross bar 29 as shown in Figures 34 and 38, said arm 66 being
secured rigidly to the shaft 30 by a pin or otherwise. On the end of the shaft 30
(Figures 34, 45, 4) is a crank arm 73 to which is conuected a rod 74 (Figures 4, 45)
that in turn is jointed to the upper end of a vibratory lever 75 (Figures 44, 45)

page_text: pivoted at 76 and having on its lower end a pin and friction roller 95 that engages
with a cam groove 96 in the side of a cam wheel B' (Figures 44 and 5).
The cam B' is geared to the main shaft and moves constantly while the machine
is in operation, consequently the arm 66 (Figure 38) is constantly vibrated up and
down and carrying with it the cross bar 29. The result is that each time the
outer end of the arm 66 rises the oress bar 29 will be raised and will lift all of the
vertical bars 102 and raise the connecting pin levers 2 so as to raise their pins
above the surface of the record strip and permit the latter to be fed forward
while each time the outer end of said arm 66 is depressed the cross bar 29 will
drop with it and permit any pin lever whose pin happens to register with a
perforation in the record strip to descend and carry with it its connected vertical
bar 102.
Below the normal position of the ends of the vertical bars 102 (Figure 38) is a
horizontal plate 80 provided with a succession of shoulders as shown in Figure 42
and connected to a horizontally moveable plate 81. This plate 81 is slotted as
shown at 83 and in each slot a notch 82 is provided, the notch in each successive
slot being further removed from the front edge of the plate as shown in Figure 42,
and corresponding with the succession of shoulders upon the plate 80. The
plates 80 and 81 are kept constantly moving back and forth by means of a
connecting rod 85 (Figures 42, 43) vibrating lever 88, shaft 89, lever 90, pin and
roller 168 and cam groove 169 in cam wheel B³ (Figure 5).
Working in the slots 83 (Figure 42) are a series of vertical bars 43 (Figure 38)
that are guided at their upper ends in guides 43 and at their lower ends in guides 436.
Each of these vertical bars 43 is provided with a spring 44 which tends to keep
it lowered and the upper end of each of said bars is bent or provided with a
shoulder as shown at 32, beneath which extends a cross bar 33 connected to
vibrating arms 34 secured to a shaft 35, which shaft is provided with crank arms 77
(Figures 2, 4, 5, 34, and 45) that in turn are connected by rods 79 to vibratory
levers 78 mounted upon pivots 76 and having at their lower ends pins and
rollers 95 which engage with cam grooves 96 in cam wheels B B (Figure 42).
Each of the bars 43 (Figure 38) is also provided with a rib or projection 104
that is adapted to fit and at the proper time pass through the corresponding
notch 82, (Figure 42) in the plate 81.
At each dead stroke of the machine (which occurs when no pin lever 12 is
actuated by the record strip) the slotted plate 81 and the notched plate 80
connected to it are moved forward and backward, the bars 102 offering no
obstruction and the cross bar 33 holding elevated all of the bars 43 while the
notches 82 are passing back and forth beneath the ribs or projections 104 on said
bars 43. When, however, a perforation in the record strip comes beneath the pin
in one of the pin levers, that particular pin lever descends and carries down its
connected vertical bar 102 so that the end of said bar is brought in the path of
the shouldered plate 80 and on the advance of said shouldered plate the said
bar 102 will engage with the appropriate shoulder on said plate 80 and will arrest
said plate 80 and the slotted plate 81 to which it is connected before said plates
have made a full stroke.
The shoulders on the plate 80 bear such relation to the notches 82 in the slotted
plate 81 as that the arrest of both said plates by the engagement of the end of the
bar 102 with one of the shoulders of said plate 80 will cause one of the said
notches 82 to be left immediately beneath the rib or projection 104 of the corre
sponding bar 43 and when in the stroke of the machine the cross bar 33 releases
all of said vertical bars 43 the spring 44 upon the particular bar whose rib of
projection has thus been brought into alignment with the notch will draw said
bar 43 downward and cause its lower end to strike and depress the pin 111 of the
corresponding operating pin 113 and the vibrating bar 120 will then force the said
operating pin into engagement with the cam cylinder as before explained.
Before the completion of the stroke of the machine, the cross bar 33 will again
rise and restore the lowered bar 43 to its original position.

page_text: Inasmuch as the depression of one of the bars 102 causes the arrest of the
connected plates 80 and 81 before they have made a full stroke it becomes necessary
in order to avoid breakage of the parts to provide a yielding connection between
the operating lever 88 (Figure 43) and the rod 85 (Figures 42 and 43) and the
end of the rod 85 is therefore passed through a swivel block 87 held in the upper
end of the lever 88 and screw one or more nuts 87* upon its end and between the
said swivel block and a fixed collar or nut 87ª upon said rod 85 a spiral spring 87
is interposed.
By this provision it will be seen the motion of the lever 88 is transmitted to the
rod 85 through the said spring 87° and when the plates 80 and 81 are arrested
the spring is compressed without doing damage to the parts as will be readily
underst -od.
It is of course important that there should be no slipping of the record strips
upon the feeding cylinders and also that provision should be made to prevent said
cylinders from overthrowing or advancing too far when motion is imparted to them
to feed the strips. The first result is obtained by providing each of the feeding
cylinders with a circumferential row of teeth 97" at each end and each of the record
strips is provided with corresponding lines of perforations for operating with said
rows of teeth. The second result is obtained by the employment of the following
construction.
To the shaft 97 upon which the feeding cylinder is mounted is rigidly secured
a ratchet wheel 12 (Figures 34, 35, 36, 39, 41) and upon the hub of said ratchet
wheel is mounted a second ratchet wheel 68 (Figures 34, 35 41) whose teeth
incline in a direction opposite to that of the teeth of the first mentioned ratchet
wheel. These two ratchet wheels are secured together and their adjustment with
respect to each other is provided for by the employment of an adjusting screw 12
arranged within an opening 12 in the ratchet wheel 12 and co-operating with a
nut 68 secured to the ratchet wheel 68 and by the employment of screws 68
passing through slots 12 in the ratchet wheel 12 and screwed into the ratchet
wheel 68 as shown in Figure 39. By operating the screw 12 the proper relative
position of the two ratchet wheels is secured and by tightening the screws 68° they
are held in such position.
Mounted loosely upon the shaft 97° is a three armed lever 23 (Figures 35, 39, 41)
which is adapted to be vibrated by means of a connecting rod 24, lever 69, shaft 70,
arm 71, stud roller 72, cam 91 on the end of the cam cylinder B and spring 94 on
rod 93 as shown in Figures 1, 3, 5, 39, 40. To one of the lateral arms of the
lever 23 is pivoted an actuating pawl 21 which is normally held by a spring 21* in
engagement with the outer ratchet wheel 12 and operates to turn said ratchet
wheel when the lever 23 is vibrated in one direction. A pawl 11 operates to
prevent the backward movement of the ratchet wheel 12.
19 is a pawl pivoted to the side of the frame and having its lower end normally
kept out of engagement with the inner ratchet wheel 68 by means of a spring.
The upper end of this pawl 19 is provided with an incline 19 with which the
opposite arm of the lever 23 is adapted to engage when said lever is vibrated.
The operation is as follows:
When the connecting rod 24 is pushed in the direction indicated by the arrow
(Figure 39) the pawl 21 being in engagement with the outer ratchet wheel 12 turns
the latter and when it has moved the length of one tooth the other arm of the
lever 23 which has engaged the incline 19 of the pawl 19 throws the lower or
operative end of said pawl 19 into engagement with the inner ratchet wheel 68
thus arresting both ratchet wheels and preventing any overthrowing of the same
by the impulse given by the pawl 21. Upon the backward movement of the rod 24.
the pawl 21 will slip back until it engages the next tooth of the ratchet wheel 12
and the pawl 19 will by its spring 15 .be again thrown out of action, the
pawl 11 operating the while to prevent any backward movement of either ratchet
wheel.
Also mounted upon and secured to the shaft 97 of the perforated feed drum is

page_text: Around it
a hand wheel 16 (Figures 34, 35, 36, 41). This haud wheel affords a convenient
means for rotating and adjusting the feed drum when necessary.
passes a belt 13 which communicates motion through a pulley 53 (Figures 35, 36)
to the winding spool 18 upon which the perforated record strip is rewound.
On the opposite end of the feeding drum shaft 97 is secured a gear wheel 60
(Figures 35, 37, 41) which meshes with a smaller gear 61 (Figure 37) on the shaft
of the friction roller 100 (Figure 38).
The record strip it will be remembered, is drawn between the feed drum 97 and
this friction roll 100 and the rows of feeding teeth on said feed cylinder enter
corresponding recesses in the friction roll to prevent by any possibility the record
strip from becoming disengaged from said feeding teeth. A pivoted arm or
hook 62 secured to the swinging frame 5 (Figure 37) operates when said frame 5
is swung up beyond a vertical line to engage with the shaft 97 (Figure 37) and
maintain the frame in said position.
In the operation of the machine it becomes necessary at times to stop entirely
the feeding of both record strips and thus cause the machine 'to make dead strokes
during which no type are formed. I therefore provide the following means by
which the feed mechanisms on both sides of the machine may be simultaneously
thrown into and out of operation.
Referring particularly to Figures 1, 34, 35, 36 and 39, 42 represents a cross
shaft extending across the frame which supports the record strip feeding
mechanism beneath the arms 38 loosely hung on the shaft 30 as shown. Secured
to this shaft 42 are two arms 27 which when the shaft.is turned in one direction
operate to raise the swinging arms 28 as shown in Figure 38 so as to cause the
cross bar 29 above said swinging arms to be raised and lift the series of vertical
bars 102 and with them the series of pin levers 2 so that their pins will be raised
from engagement with the record strip and entirely above the surface of the
latter. The same movement of the shaft 42 which causes this raising of the
arms 27 into vertical position causes the actuating pawl 21 to be thrown out of
engagement with the ratchet wheel 12 conuécted to the feed drum and held in
that position by the operation of a screw (Figures 34, 35, 36, 39) secured to the
side of one of the arms 27 upon a slotted bar 25 connected to the said actuating
pawl 21 thus stopping the rotation of the feed cylinder notwithstanding the
continued vibration of the three armed lever 23 upon which the actuating pawl is
mounted.
To ensure the simultaneous rocking of the shafts 42 on both sides of the
machine each of said shafts is provided with a bevel geur or gear segment 57
(Figures 34, 35) and with said gears 57 are meshed corresponding gears 58 secured
to opposite ends of a common rock shaft 59 extending from side to side of the
machine and provided with a weighted handle 59 as shown in Figures 1 and 5.
By shifting this handle to one side or the other the attendant is enabled to throw
the record strip feeding mechanism on both sides of the machine 'instantly into or
out of operation, the weight of the lever being sufficient to hold the parts in the
position to which either of said movements shall throw them.
THE MOLD WHEEL AND MOLDS.
The construction of the molds in which the type is cast is as follows: special
attention being given to Figures 17.to 28. Number 208 (Figures 17, 18, 21)
represents the mold wheel proper. This wheel has formed upon it a hollow
tapering hub 208 which sets within a tapering bearing 211 with its lower end
resting upon a. loose friction collar 212 that is in turn supported upon the
adjustable threaded sleeve 214 that screws into the bearing and is held in adjusted
position by means of a locked nut 213.
Arranged within the mold wheel are a series of molds or casting boxes and as
they are all alike a description of one only will be necessary. Each mold consists
of a main noid frame 240 inserted in the mold wheel and held therein by means

page_text: of screws 241 (Figure 17) passed through it and into the edge of the mold wheel
and by a plate 197 (Figures 18 and 21) screwed to its bottom and by another
plate 242 (Figure 17) secured to its top. Within this frame 240 are two
blocks 243 which form the side walls of the mold said blocks each being held and
adjusted by means of screws 244, 245, 246, the screws 244 being tapped into the
cooperating block and the screw 246 bearing against said block as clearly shown
in the dotted lines Figure 17. Screws 247 passing through the top plate 242 and
corresponding screws passing through the bottom plate further serve to hold the
said blocks 243 in position.
A sliding block 173 is guided in the frame 240 and is provided with a
plunger 173 as shown clearly in Figures 17, 18, 21. Inasmuch as the face of the
plunger 173 forms the inner wall of the mold and as it is with reference to its
position when immovable that the extent of movement of the outer plunger which
forms the opposite wall of the mold is regulated to form a type body of the
desired width, it is necessary that the proper position of the face of said
plunger 173 be accurately maintained and that adjustment of said face may
be made to compensate for any wear that may take place. The block 17.3 is
therefore made in two parts united by a dovetail joint as shown in Figures 18,
19, 20, 21, and into the upper part is tapped, opposite adjusting screws 181,
182 (Figure 18) and arrange them that their heads will bear upon
opposite sides of the lower part 179. By manipulating these screws the
proper adjustment of the face of the plunger can be maintained. Upon the
bottom of the lower part 179 a curved projection or tongue 175 is formed which
fits accurately in the concentric portion 176 of a groove in fixed plate 177 as
seen in Figures 18, 23.
So
When a type is being formed in the mold the tongue 175 is held in this
concentric portion as shown in Figure 18 but after the type has been formed and
the mold wheel rotates the said tongue passes out of the concentric portions of the
groove to the point 176" (Figure 23) so as to enable the block 173 and the
connected plunger 173" to be moved out radially into the position shown in
Figure 21 and cause the plunger to eject the type from the mold.
The devices for imparting to the block and plunger this outward movement
consist of a slide 185 that works back and forth in fixed guides 185 (Figures 18,
21, 26, 27, 28).
This slide is provided at one end with ribs 189 (Figures 26, 27) that are
adapted when the block 173 is brought to the proper point to embrace a stud 174
projecting from the top of said block and is provided at the other end with a
stud 187 bearing a friction roller 190 that works in a cam groove 188 (Figure 26)
in a plate 191 secured to a vertical shaft 199 (Figures 18, 21, 26). This shaft 199
extends down through the shaft 209 (Figure 18) to which the mold wheel is
secured and receives motion through gears 200, 206 (Figures 72, 75) from a vertical
drive shaft 204 (Figures 29, 72, 75).
The timing of the movements of the mold wheel and of the described devices
for moving the inner plunger of the mold will be better understood from the
following: As shown in Figure 17 the mold wheel proper is rigidly secured to
the mold wheel shaft 209 by a key 209. Upon the lower end of said shaft 209
there is secured by a key 216 (Figures 72, 73) a wheel 215 which is provided with
a series of slots 217 (Figure 73) with which friction rollers 219 mounted on
studs 218 projecting from blocks or fixed slides 222 of a wheel 220, are adapted
to engage (Figure 73). These rollers 219 are so positioned upon the wheel 220
as to enter successively two adjoining slots 217 of the wheel 215 and effect
together the turning of said wheel 215 and consequently the turning of the mold
wheel proper one-third of a revolution.
As it is important that the movements of the mold wheel should be accurate,
blocks 222 (Figures 73, 74) are connected to the wheel 220 by tongue and groove
connections and are adjusted and held at the point of adjustment by means of
screws 224 as shown in Figure 74. By inanipulating these screws wear of the

page_text: engagement of the bolt and the proper centering of the wheel even should
the wheel from any cause stop slightly short of or slightly beyond the proper
locking point.
For the purpose of preventing shock in the engagement of the locking bolt with
the mold wheel and also to ensure at all times the projection of the bolt so that the
sides of its beveled end will fit tightly the sides of the recess into which it is
projected the body of the bolt is preferably made hollow throughout the greater
portion of its length and insert in it a spring 240 between which and the cross
pin 238 is interposed a follower 240 and the opening in the sides of the bolt
through which the said pin 238 passes is slightly elongated, all as shown in
Figure 78. By this construction the motion of the lever 239 is transferred to the
bolt through the spring 240 and the result is that the end of the bolt is forced into
the recess in the wheel ander yielding pressure thus preventing shock and yet.
ensuring the proper engagement of the parts as before explained.
By reference to Figure 17 it will be noticed that each of the recesses 234 in the
mold wheel for receiving the locking bolt is located diametrically opposite one of
the molds and in line with the opening into which the outside plunger which is to
form the outer wall of the mold enters. Now, inasmuch as the fitting of such
plunger must be very accurate to prevent the formation of fins upon the type it is
of course absolutely essential that the plunger and the mold opening into which it
passes should be in absolute alignment. This alignment is secured by regulating
the lateral position of the locking and centering bolt. To this end said bolt
is mounted in a head or stock 237 which is rendered laterally adjustable upon
a rigid support 241 by means of set screws 242 tapped into said stock and bearing
with their heads upon opposite sides of the support 241 as shown in Figures 77 to 80
and particularly in Figure 80. By adjusting these screws 242 the opening of the
mold is enabled to be brought in exact alignment with the outside plunger.
THE FORMATION OF TYPE HAVING BODIES OF NORMAL WIDTH.
This machine is adapted to form type whose hodice are of normal width or what
are termed normal type as well as type whose bodies or some of whose bodies and
preferably the bodies of space type are of abnormal width and made so in order to
properly justify the lines for which they are formed. I will first describe the
mechanism for adjusting the mold to form normal type and will then describe the
mechanism for producing abnormal or justifying type.
The side walls of each of the molds in the mold wheel when once properly set
remain so and need no further adjustment in the formation of individual type.
The inner wall of the mold as we have seen is formed by the inner plunger 173*
(Figures 17, 21) and in the formation of every type always occupies the same
position with relation to the side walls. The outer wall of the mold however,
formed as it is by the face of the outer plunger 260 (Figures 11, 114 and 18) varies
in position accordingly as a narrow or a wide type is to be formed and it is
therefore, upon this portion of the mold that the mechanism which I am about to
describe operates.
Referring particularly to Figures 11, 114, 15 and 55, 261 represents a block to
which the outer plunger 260 of the mold is secured, said block in turn being secured
to a slide 262. call this slide the inner slide to distinguish it from an intermediate
slide 263 and from an outer or main slide 264 which will be hereinafter again
referred to. 'Said inner slide is in fact made in two parts, viz.: 262 and 262ª united
by an adjustable screw connection 265 as shown in Figure 11 which enables the
part 262 to be moved away from or toward the part 262 so as to project or retract
the plunger and thereby decrease or increase the size of the normal opening in
the mold.
Extending transversely of the sides 262, 263, 264 is another slide 266 which for
convenience of description I term the normal slide and which has two grooves 267
and 268 (Figures 11, 114 and 15). Secured to the intermediate slide 263 by

page_text: screws 269 is a block 263° which carries a guide block 270 that projects down into
the groove 267 of the normal slide 266 and serves to guide said normal slide in its
back and forth movements. The groove 268 in the normal slide is not parallel with
the guide groove 267 but is formed at an angle thereto as shown in Figures 114, 13
and 15. In it is adapted to slide a block 271 which is provided with a pin 272 that
fits an aperture in the portion 262 of the inner slide.
Connected to the portion 262 of the inuer slide is a rod 273 which passes
through a guide 274 (Figures 11, 114, 15) and is provided at its end with nuts 275
and between said nuts and the bearing 274 is a spring 276 which tends to keep
the block 271 at all times pressed against the inner wall of the groove 268
(Figures 11, 15).
The outer or main slide 264 is connected by a link 276 to a vibratory arm 277
which is moved back and forth by means of a cam wheel B (Figures 1, 5, 11, 29).
Now it is apparent that since the grooves 267 and 268 in the normal slide
(Figures 11, 15) are at an angle to each other the movement of said slide longi-
tudinally will by the operation of the walls of the inclined groove 268 upon the
block 271 cause the inner slide 262 and the plunger connected to it to be adjusted
outward or inward to an extent proportioned to the amount of longitudinal
movement given said normal slide and it will be also apparent that the vibration of
the arm 277 by the cam wheel B will cause the main slide 264 and the intermediate
and inner slide carried by it to be moved bodily forward or backward so as to cause
the plunger 260 to move into or out of the mold in the mold wheel (Figure 15).
In the making of normal type it is only necessary to change the position of the
juner slide 262 by the movement of the normal slide 266 in order that the plunger
may be so set as that when all the slides are advanced by the vibration of the
arm 277 (Figure 11) the plunger will enter the mold the distance required for the
production of the particular type of normal width, but in the making of abnormal
or justifying type the position of the intermediate slide 263 as well as that of the
inner slide 262 is required to be adjusted before the plunger enters the mold as will
be in due course explained. But as we are now concerned in understanding how the
adjustment of the plunger is secured to effect the formation of normal type it will
only be necessary at present to refer to the mechanism which is employed in giving
the adjusting motion to the normal slide.
Upon the projection of the corresponding pins from the right and left pin
carriages into their respective cam cylinders both pin carriages are moved longi-
tudinally the distance required to bring the designated die to the centering point.
During this movement one of the pin carriages viz. the one at the right side of
the machine, through the medium of a connecting bar 278 (Figures 12, 13, 14)
moves the normal slide so as to project or retract the outer plunger of the mold
more or less according to the width of the normal type to be formed.
If the machine is used simply for making normal type to be hand set as ordinarily
or set by a common type setting machine the mechanism so far described will be
competent for the purpose, but in order that justified lines of type may be formed
the following additional mechanism is required to further control the adjustment of
the outer plunger of the mold before the space type for a given line are begun to
be formed.
THE MECHANISM FOR FORMING JUSTIFYING TYPE.
While the two perforated record strips that are fed into the right and left sides
of the machine are provided with corresponding cooperating perforations for
conjointly effecting the centering of the several dies of the die case, the left hand
record strip alone has special perforations called justifying perforations for providing,
through mechanism to be presently described, a justifying adjustment of the outer
plunger of the mold which is availed of each time a space type is to be formed.
These justifying perforations occur at intervals along the record strip and
immediately precede the perforations that operate to center the dies for the

page_text: production of each line of type, one or more justifying perforations occurring
before the die centering perforations of any given line.
In this machine each pin carriage carries fifteen pins and all of the pins of each
carriage are employed in the shifting and centering of the die case. The pins of
the carriage on the left side of the machine or some of them have additional
functions, functions which they perform while the pins of the right hand carriage
are inoperative or not in use. For instance, the first pin commencing at the right,
Figure 69 is employed for releasing the justifying mechanism and coupling the
type setting mechanism as will be further on explained and the 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13
and 14th pins are employed in the justifying operation.
It is with pins 8 to 14 that we have now to deal in describing the justifying
mechanism. When any one of these pins is thrown into cooperation with the cam
cylinder by the action of a justifying perforation in the record strip of the left
side of the machine the pin carriage is caused to move more or less according to
which pin is projected in the direction indicated by the arrow (Figure 69) which
causes a hanger or depending arm 279 on the pin carriage to draw upon a rack
bar 280 as shown in Figures 56, 69. This rack bar 280 is in engagement with a
pinion 281 mounted loosely upon a shaft 282 and having connected to it a disk 283
hich carries a pawl 284 (Figure 55) that in turn engages with ratchet wheel 285
that has secured to it a pinion 286 and is connected to the shaft 282 by a spline
and groove connection 287 as shown in Figure 56 so as to cause said ratchet
and connected pinion to be rotated when the shaft rotates and yet permit of an
independent longitudinal movement of the shaft.
The pinion 286 (Figures 55,56) meshes with a large gear wheel 288 (Figures 56, 64)
that is mounted loosely on a shaft 289 and carries a drum 290 within which is a
helical spring 291 which is connected at one end to the drum and at the other end
to the said shaft 289.
Upon the shaft 289 is keyed a ratchet wheel 292 (Figures 64, 65) with which
spring pawls 293 on a stationary portion of the framework are adapted to engage
and the outer end of said shaft 289 is squared to receive a crank for giving
preliminary tension to the spring..
From this description it will be apparent that when the gear 281 is rotated by
drawing forward the rack bar 280 the pawl 284 operating upon the ratchet wheel 285
will turn the pinion and partially rotate the shaft 282 also that the gear 286 will
turn the gear 288 and further wind up the spring within the latter. A spring
pawl 294 mounted upon a pivoted arm 295 (Figure 5) acts upon the ratchet
wheel 285 and when the rack bar 280 moves back for another stroke holds
said ratchet and the connected parts in check and prevents backward movement
of them.
The main portion of the shaft 282 is mounted in a bearing 282" (Figure 55)
which permits it to move back and forth longitudinally and its inner or reduced
end has bearings in what I term the justifying slide 305 shown in Figures 55, 62.
Upon the shaft 282 between its bearings in the justifying slide 305 is formed a
screw threaded portion 282 (Figures 50, 53, 55) which engages a screw threaded
block 297 (Figure 55 in section, in plan in Figures 50 and 53 and in end elevation
Figure 54).
This screw threaded block has connected to it by screws 298 a pair of
slides 299, 300, the latter being provided on its inner edge with teeth 301 (Figure 53)
which mesh with a toothed segmental arm 302 mounted loosely upon
(Figures 50, 53, 55) and having secured to it a pinion 304 so that said pinion and
segmental arm will inove together.
pin 303
Mounted upon the justifying slide 305 on opposite sides of the gear wheel 304
are two sliding rack bars 306, 307 that are at all times in engagement, with the
gear 304 so that when the shaft 282 (Figure 55) is turned the gear 304 will be
likewise turned through the described intermediate connections and cause one of
the rack bars 306, 307 to be retracted and the other of said rack bars to be
Bimultaneously projected as shown in Figure 50.

page_text: In describing the manner in which the outer plunger of the mold is adjusted to
form normal type I referred, it will be remembered to the three slides, viz. the
inner slide 262, the intermediate slide 263 and the outer slide 264 shown in
Figures 11, 11, 50 and 55 aud which are all advanced by the vibrating arm 277
(Figure 11) when the outer plunger 260 is projected into the mold wheel.
If attention is now directed to Figure 50 and 11 which shows these three several
slides in pian there will be found to be projecting upwardly from the outer slide 264
a pin 308 (shown also in Figures 11 and 55). Upon this pin is mounted so as to
turn freely a block 309 which is provided on opposite sides of the pivot pin 308
with self adjusting blocks 311, 312 one of which (311) is adapted to cooperate with
the end of the sliding rack bar 307 and the other of which 312 is adapted to
cooperate with the other sliding rack bar 306 as will be further on explained.
To the block 309 is hinged at 310 another block 313 (Figure 50) the relative
position of said two blocks 309, 313 being adjusted and preserved by means of two
screws 314, 315.
The block 309 is further provided at its middle with a projection 316 which is
perforated and receives the square head 317 of a round pin 318 projecting upward
from the intermediate slide 263 (Figures 50, 55 and 11^).
While normal types are being made all three of the slides 262, 263, 264 are
moved forward and backward together the intermediate slide 262 and the outer
slide 264 carrying the blocks 309, 313, and maintaining them in the position shown
in Figure 50, the outer edge of said block 313 sliding in contact with a stationary
block 319 secured to the under side of the plate 320 (Figure 55) which forms the
top of the justifying slide 305 being secured thereto by screws 321 as shown in
Figures 15, 50, 51. The block 319 is kept in contact with the sliding block 313
by a spring 320 applied to plate 320 as shown in Figure 15. It is therefore seen
that in formation of normal type the blocks 309, 313 are neutral and perform no
function whatever except as guides and the same may be said of the sliding rack
bars 306, 307 which remain in position shown in Figure 50 out of engagement with
the self adjusting blocks 311, 312.
But when a justified line is to be produced and the space types are to be rendered
abnormal to accomplish the justification as provided for in this machine, the sliding
rack bars 306, 307 are required to be adjusted by the action of the justifying
perforation in the record strip as hereinabove described before the type for the
given line are begun to be formed and the justifying slide 305 (Figures 50, 55, 62)
is required to be advanced each time a space type is to be formed so as to strike
the self adjusting blocks 311, 312 and cause the block 309 to be rocked more or less
on its pivot 308 and thereby through the cooperation of the projection 316 with the
pin 317 on the intermediate slide 263 (Figures 11, 50) cause the said intermediate
slide 263 to be moved longitudinally upon the outer slide 264 and carry with it the
inner slide 262 and the connected plunger 260 thus adjusting the plunger so as to
produce an opening in the mold wider or narrower than the opening required to
produce a normal space type body, or in other words provide for the production of
an abnormal justifying space type. It is after all these slides 262, 263, 264 have
been advanced by the operation of the vibratory arm 277 (Figure 11) to carry the
outer plunger 26 into the mold and to bring the self adjusting blocks 311, 312
opposite the rack bars 306, 307, that the said rack bars are advanced to engage
with the self adjusting blocks and give the final adjustment to the plunger as above
detailed.
From the description already given it will be plain that the extent of movement
imparted to the rack bars 306, 307 and the consequent extent of the plungers final
adjustment will depend upon the extent of movement which is given the pin carriage
to which the rack bar 280 (Figures 56, 69) is connected and the throw of the pin
carriage will in turn depend upon which of its pins is thrown into the cam cylinder
by the action of the justifying perforation. No further description therefore is
needed at this point of the manner in which or the means by which the rack
bars 306, 307 are operated. But the mechanism by which the advance of the

page_text: justifying slide 305 (Figures 50, 54, 55, 57, 62) upon which the said rack
bars 306, 307 are mounted (see particularly Figures 50, 57) is effected when a
die for forming a space type is centered remains to be described and will next
receive attention.
The pin of the pin carriage of the left side of the machine which cooperates
with a pin on the carriage at the right hand side of the machine to center a
space die is the outer or 15th pin numbered 113ª (Figures 69, 70).
This pin is formed with projections 322 which embrace the extremity of an
arm 323 projecting downwardly from the end of a rock shaft 324 (Figures 56, 63,
66, 69) also secured to the rock shaft 324 is another arm 325 (Figures 63, 66, 67)
to which is secured the upper end of a rod 326 (Figures 56, 63) that carries at
its lower end a rack bar 327 which meshes with a pinion 328 (shown detached in
Figure 60) having a squared opening in it (Figures 6,63) and mounted upon the
squared portion 329 of a shaft 330 (Figures 57, 58, 61, 62).
The pinion 328 is prevented from longitudinal movement by bearings 331
(Figure 57) but the shaft 330 is free to slide back and forth longitudinally within
the pinion.
The hub 332 of the pinion shown in Figure 60 is provided with a right- angled
projection 333 which normally is in engagement with a recess 334 formed in the
justifying slide 305 as shown in Figure 57 and the shaft 330 is likewise formed on
its extended rounded portion with a projection 335 (Figure 58) which normally
plays back and forth in a longitudinal groove 336 in the justifying slide as shown
in Figure 57, but which as hereinafter described is adapted to be locked in
engagement with a recess 337 in said justifying, slide shown in said last mentioned
figure.
The outer end of the shaft 330 is coupled by a coupling 338 which permits of
the independent turning of the shaft, to a threaded rod 339 (Figures 57, 63)
that passes through a lever 340 and is provided; with nuts 341 on the outer side
of said lever and with a spring 342 between a shoulder formed upon it and, a
washer interposed, between said, spring and the lever as shown in Figures 57 and 63.
A pin and sleeve on the upper end of the lever 340 cooperate with a cam groove 343
in a cam wheel B³ (Figures 1, 4, 63).
When the machine is in operation, the cam B is kept in constant rotation and
through the rod 339 imparts reciprocating back and forth motion to the shaft 33.
Upon the projection of the space pin 113 the arm 323 rocks the shaft 324 and
causes the orm 325 to raise the rack 327 (Figures 61, 63) thereby turning the
pinion 328 and with it the shaft 330. This turning of the pinion and shaft causes
the projection 333 on the pinion to be unlocked from the recess 334 in the justifying
slide and, to enter the longitudinal slot 336 in said slide and simultaneously
therewith causes the projection 335 of the shaft to pass from said longitudinal
groove 336 into the recess 337 in the justifying slide, the result being the unlocking
of the pinion from the slide and the locking of the shaft to the slide so that the
slide will partake of the longitudinal movement of the shaft and in its advance
carry the justifying rack bars 306, 307 supported upon it into engagement with the
self-adjusting blocks 311, 312, as before described. After the justifying space
type has been formed the justifying slide is drawn back by the operation of the
cam B (Figure 63) the space pin is retracted and the shaft 330 is unlocked from
the justifying slide and the pinion 328 locked thereto as at first.
After a justified line of type has been formed it becomes necessary to return
the justifying mechanism to normal position in order that it may be ready to be
set for the production of the type for the next line.
The record strip for the left side of the machine is therefore provided after the
die centering perforations for each line, with a perforation which operates to set the
first pin 113 of the carriage on the left hand side of the machine. This special
pin 113 is provided as shown in Figure 68 with projections 113° between which
projects the transversely elongated portion 1134 of an arm 113 secured to a hollow
rock shaft 113' as shown in Figures 66 and 68.

page_text: To the rock shaft 113' is secured an arm 1138 that is united by a ball and socket
connection to a rod 113h whose lower end is likewise connected by a ball and
socket connection to the arm 295 carrying the spring pawl 294 that holds the
ratchet wheel 285 (Figure 56) of the justifying mechanism in check. When the
pin 113b (Figure 68) is projected into its cooperating cam cylinder the shaft 113' is
rocked and through the medium of the arm 113 connecting rod 113h and arm 2951
(Figure CG) the pawl 294 is thrown out of engagement with the ratchet wheel 285.
whereupon the spring drum 290 operates through the gear 288 and pinion 286 to
rotate the shaft 282 and bring all the parts of the justifying mechanism connected
to said shaft 282 back to normal position as will be readily understood. In this
resetting operation a pin 288 (Figure 56) on the gear wheel 288 strikes a stop
arm 288 and arrests the further rotation of said wheel.
To prevent any overwinding of the spring 291 in the spring drum 29:) a bell
trip 289 and bell 289 are provided for giving a warning to the attendant that he
may stop the machine in time to prevent any damage being done.
Inasmuch as the rack bar 280 (Figures 56, 69) is reciprocated each time the pin
carriage on the left side of the machine reciprocates it is obvious that the shaft 282
(Figure 55) would be turned and a spring drum 290 wound up each time the pin
carriage on the left side of the machine was moved unless provision were made for
preventing such a result. It is found most convenient in dealing with this problem
to control the actuating pawl 284 (Figures 55, 56, 56^) in such manner as to cause
said pawl to be thrown out of action when both pin carriages are cooperating to
center a die and to be thrown into action and to remain in action only when the
pin carriage on the left side of the machine is independently moved in response to
a justifying perforation on the left hand record strip. The incans for sɔ controlling
the pawl are as follows:
Referring to Figures 55, 56, 56A and particularly to the last named figure it will
be seen that the ratchet wheel 285 is surrounded or enclosed by a plate 530 which
is screwed or otherwise secured to the frame of the machine.
Between the disk 283 (Figures 55, 56^) to which the pawl 284 is pivoted, and
the inner edge of the plate 530 there is a space, or in effect a groove 531 and in
the side of the plate 530 there is formed another groove 532 which is concentric
with the groove 531. Pivoted to the plate 530 at 533 is a switch 534 which has a
groove 535 struck from the same center as the outer groove 532 and projecting
into the groove of the switch is a pin or offset 536 on a finger 537 mounted upon
the pivot of the pawl 284 and having a rearward extension which abuts against a
similar extension on the pawl so that the raising of the finger 537 will cause the
pawl to be raised also. A spring 538 interposed between the finger and the pawl
operates to permit the pawl to ride over the backs of the ratchet teeth of the
ratchet wheel 285.
Connected to the switch is a rod 539 (Figure 56) which is jointed at its upper
end to an arm 540 on the end of the shaft 372 of the right hand side of the
machine. When through the operation of the pin carriages on both sides of the
machine, the two shafts 372 and 372 (Figures 55, 56, 91) are simultaneously
rocked (as will be hereinafter fully explained in connection with the pump
operating mechanism) the arm 540 is raised against the tension of a spring 541
(Figure 56) and swings up the switch 534 thereby through the action of the
finger 537, raising the pawl 284 out of engagement with its ratchet wheel 285 and
bringing the stud 536 of the finger 537 into position to enter the outer groove 532
of the plate 530 when the disk 283 upon which the pawl is mounted is oscillated
back and forth by the action of the rack 280 (Figures 55, 56) upon the pinion 281
fixed to said disk. On the other hand, when the pin carriage ou the left hand side
of the machine only is operated in response to a justifying perforation in the left
hand record strip the shaft 372 (Figure 91) will alone be rocked, the shaft 372
remaining stationary as also hereinafter described, and the arm 540 (Figures 91,
55, 56) will not be raised and the pawl 284 will remain in engagement with its
ratchet and will operate upon the same to rotate the shaft 282 (Figure 55) and

page_text: wind up the spring drum of the justifying mechanism, the pin 536 on the pawl
finger 537 during such operation working in the inner groove 531.
THE MECHANISM FOR DEPRESSING THE CENTERED DIE OR MATRIX.
After the die case has been shifted to bring the die for the particular type to be
formed at the centering point above the mold in the mold wheel and after the
plungers forming part of the mold have been finally adjusted, a plunger 156
(Figures 1, 2, 9, 10) is depressed so as to force the centered die 141 downward
and cause its end or face bearing the character selected to form the top of the
mold as shown in Figure 11.
The said plunger 156 is guided at its lower end in a yoke 155 secured to a cross
piece 154 on the frame (Figures 1, 2, 10) and at its upper end in a sleeve 160
(Figures 9, 10) the extremity of its upper end being passed through an opening in
the ends of a vertically vibrating arm 161 and provided with adjusting nuts 167.
Between the sleeve 160 and nuts 158 on the plunger is interposed a spring 159 and
when the arm 161 descends its motion is communicated to the plunger through the
sleeve 160, spring 159 and nut 158 thus causing the plunger to seat the die
depressed by it under yielding pressure against the top of the mold thereby
insuring its proper seating. The vibrating arm 161 is mounted upon a rock
shaft 162 (Figures i, 10) to which is also rigidly attached an arm 164 having a
pin and roller 165 upon its lower end that engages a cain groove 166 in a cam
wheel B (Figures 1, 4, 10).
After the plunger has depressed the centered die and the type has been formed
in the mold, the action of the cam groove 162 causes the plunger to be lifted and
the spring around the die to restore the latter to normal position in the die case.
DEVICE FOR GUIDING AND HOLDING THE DEPRESSED CENTERED DIE.
In order that the centered die when depressed may be guided with the greatest
accuracy to its proper position on the top of the mold and that it may be held in
that position while the type is being formed a guide plate 344 (Figures 15, 16) is
employed which has an opening 345 in its forward edge slightly tapered upward
and outward and of a width at the bottom corresponding as near as practicable to
the width of the lower ends of the dies. This plate 344 moves back and forth in
guides 346 (Figure 15) and is actuated through a rod 347 from a vibratory
lever 348 that is controlled by a cam groove 349 in a cam wheel B (Figures 1,
5, 15, 16).
Before the centered die is depressed this guide plate 344 advances over the mold
and when the die is forced down it passes through the opening 345 in the plate and
is guided thereby to its proper position upon the mold. Should the die through
an imperfect adjustment of the centering devices fail to be properly centered, or
in other words be in a slight degree out of alignment with the mold this defect
will be corrected by the guide plate the inclined walls of the opening in the latter
bringing the die to the proper center with unfailing accuracy. When the type has
been formed the guide plate is retracted by the action of a spring 350 applied to
the vibratory arm 348 (Figure 16) as will be readily understood and then the die
is raised into the die case by its spring.
THE APPARATUS FOR INJECTING MOLTEN METAL INTO THE MOLD TO
FORM THE CAST TYPE.
Having now shown the construction of the complete mold I will next describe
the apparatus for injecting molten metal into the mold to form the cast type.
Referring to Figures 82, 83, 84, 351 represents the melting pot or crucible in
which the metal, preferably type metal is placed and by suitable appliances well
known in this art maintained in a molten condition. Within this melting pot is

page_text: arranged a metal pump consisting essentially of a cylinder 352, a plunger 353 and
an adjustable nozzle 354. The cylinder 352 is provided with ports 355 for the
ingress of the molten metal and with a port 356 for the egress of the metal when
forced out by the operation of the plunger 353. The nozzle is made in two
sections, a moveable or outer section 354 and an inner or stationary guiding
section 357 as shown in Figure 84. Extending up through the nozzle is a rod 358
which operates to keep the nozzle orifice clear. As shown in Figure 83 the end of
the nozzle stands normally beneath an aperture 198 in the plate 197 which con-
stitutes the bottom of the mold and when a type is to be cast the movable section
of the nozzle is raised so that its end will enter the aperture 198 in said plate 197
and make close connection therewith as shown in Figure 11 after which, the
plunger 353 of the pump advances and forces metal from the pump cylinder up
through the nozzle and into the mold complètely filling the latter, which done the
plunger of the pump moves back and the nozzle descends to first position. In
the formation of a type in this way a small button of metal 361 is left in the
aperture 198 of the mold plate 197 as shown in Figure 18.
After the type is east the mold wheel makes one-third of a revolution as before
explained, during which the type is sufficiently cooled to be ejected and handled.
Its ejection from the mold is effected as we have seen by the outward movement
of the inner plunger 173 (Figures 18, 21). During such outward movement of
the plunger the bottom of the type is severed from the attached button 361 by the
cooperation of the knife-like edges of the mold plate at the opening 198 and by
the time the plunger has fully ejected the type from the mold a button discharger 195
(Figures 18, 21) carried by the plunger is brought over the opening 198 in the mold
plate and a plunger 359 (Figures 21, 22, 89) descends and causes said button dis-
charger to be depressed, a pin 196 on its lower end passing into the opening 198
and discharging the metal button 361 from the latter as shown in Figure 21.1
Before the mold plunger 'mores back again the vertical plunger 359 rises and a
spring 194 within the mold plunger lifts the button discharger back to its normal
position within the mold plunger as shown in Figure 18.
Motion is given the plunger 359 by means of arms 360 362 on rock shaft 363, a
connecting rod 364, a vibratory lever 365 (Figures 29, 85) to which the said
rod 364 is connected and a pin 366 on the gear wheel 225.
Since a type is to be cast each time a die of the die case is centered by the
movements of the pin carriages on both sides of the machine it is important that
the pump nozzle and plunger should be operated each time both said carriages are
moved and it is equally important that when the pin carriage on the left hand side
of the machine is alone moved for the purpose of actuating the justifying mechanism
no movement of the pump nozzle and plunger should be made for at such time the
mold is not closed and not ready to receive the metal. The following automatic
mechanism for attaining these results is therefore provided.
At each side of the machine (see Figure 91) is arranged a rock shaft 129
(Figure 91) which is constantly rocked back and forth while the machine is in
motion by means of the forward arm of a lever 128 bearing a pin and roller 130 and
a cam groove 131 in the end of the cam cylinder B' with which said pin and roller
engage (Figure 49). Upon the inner end of ench of these shafts 129 (Figures 91, 92)
is secured an arm 367 which is provided with an offset 368 in which a perforation 369
is made. The said offset 368 overlaps a corresponding perforated offset 370 on an
arm 371 secured to a shaft 372 as shown in Figure 92. Below the offset 370 of
the arm 371 is formed another perforated offset 373 and a sliding pin 374 is
arranged to work back and forth in said two offsets 370, 373 and is provided with a
spring 375 and collars 376 for holding said pin normally retracted and out of
engagement with the offset and of the arm 367 as shown in Figure 92.
Secured to the shaft 372' on the left side of the machine is a beveled gear 3771
which engages with a corresponding gear 378* fixed to the end of a hollow
shaft 379 surrounding a portion of the shalt 372 on the right hand side of the
machine (Figure 91).

page_text: Rigidly secured to the opposite end of the hollow shaft 379 is a depending
arm 380 and to the shaft 372 adjacent to the arm 380 on the hollow shaft is secured
a spring arm 381 (Figure 94). Hung loosely upon the shaft 372" is a third arm 382,
to the lower end of which is connected a rod 383 (Figures 89, 93, 94) which
operates the coupling devices for coupling the pump-plunger and the pump-nozzle
with the means by which they are respectively operated.
The arm 380 (Figures 93, 94, 95) is provided with a lateral projection 380*
which overlaps the loose arm 382 and bears against the same through a screw 383ª
and the said loose arm 382 is in turn provided with a lateral projection 382" which
overlaps the spring arm 381 and is secured thereto by a rivet or in any other
suitable manner so as to move with it.
From this described arrangement of shafts and arms it will be evident that when
the shafts 372 and 372" on the left and right hand sides of the machine respectively
are simultaneously rocked in the direction indicated by the arrows (Figure 93) the
spring arm 381 on the shaft 372 and the rigid arm 380 on the hollow shaft 379
will move in unison and the intermediate loose arm 382 will through the spring
arm 381, be swung inward and will push the rod 383 and couple the pump-plunger
and pump-nozzle to their respective operating mechanisms.
It will be equally apparent that if the shaft 372 on the left hand side of the
machine is alone rocked, the shaft 372" on the right hand side of the machine,
remaining stationary, that the arm 380 (Figures 89, 95) will alone be moved and
will have no effect whatever upon the loose arm 382 and if the shaft 372" on the
right hand side of the machine alone is rocked, the shaft 372 on the left hand side
of the machine remaining stationary, the loose arın 382 will be prevente from
movement by the operation of the spring arm 381 owing to the construction
which the luteral projection 380 of the rigid arm 380 presents and said spring-arm.
will be simply bent or flexed.
The pump coupling devices are thus prevented from being thrown into operation
except by the simultaneous rocking of the shafts 372 on both sides of the machine.
Having explained the effect of rocking the shafts 372" and 372, I will now show
how the rocking of said shafts is accomplished. Upon examining Figure 38, it will
be seen that each of the vertical bars 43 controlled by the perforations in the
record strip is provided with a shoulder 106 near its lower end which when said.
bar is moved downwards is adapted to engage with and rock a rocking plate 107
extending across all the bars 43, cause a bifurcated arm 103" secured to said plate
to strike against a shoulder 384 (Figures 38, 92) upon the pin 374 (Figure 92)
and raise said pin and by it couple the arms 367 and 371 together, thus causing the
rocking motions of the shafts 129, 129 (Figure 91) (which it will be remembered
are constant) to be communicated to the shafts 372 and 372, each time therefore
any two bars 43 on the right and left sides of the machine respectively are
simultaneously released by the operation of the two record strips the coupling
pins 374 at each side of the machine will be thrown into engagement and the
metal pumping devices actuated as herein-above described.
Upon the resetting of the bars 43 to normal position the lower ends of the
coupling pins 374 will drop into sockets 385 (Figure 38) and hold the shafts 372
rigid.
The mechanism for imparting motion to the pump-nozzle and pump-plunger and
the coupling devices for coupling said mechanism to said parts require more detail
description.
Referring to Figures 82, 83, 89; 386 represents the lever connected to and
operating the pump-nozzle through links 388 and 387 the lever connected to and
operating the pump plunger through a link 389. 390 is a rod made hollow at its
lower portion and provided at its upper end with a head 391 having a perforation
through which and a corresponding perforation in the end of the nozzle lever 386
a pin 392 of the coupling device is adapted to slide as shown in Figure 89.
The hollow portion of the rod 390 (Figure 884) receives the upper end of a
smaller rod 393 and between a key 394 secured in the inner rod 393 and a nut 395

page_text: on the outer shaft is interposed a spring 396 through which the motion of rod 393
is transferred to rod 390."
The lower end of the rod 393 is connected to an arm 397 projecting from a
sleeve 398 which sleeve is provided with another arm 399 having a pin and roller
upon it which project into a cam groove 400 of a cam 401 (Figures 3, 4, 85 to 88).
Duplicates of the rods 390, 393 and their spring connection are adapted to be
connected at the top by a pin 402 of the coupling device to the lever 387 of the
pump-plunger 389 and at the bottom to an arm 403 on a sleeve 404 which sleeve
has another arm 405 provided with a pin and roller that engage with another cam
groove 406 in the cam wheel 401 (Figures 3, 4, 85, 86).
The coupling device of the pump which has already several times been referred
to is shown particularly in Figures 88, 89 and 90 and is constructed as follows:
Upon, a shaft 407 are fixed three collars 408, 409, 410 and between these collars
are mounted two loose sleeves 411, 412. The sleeve and the shaft 407 as well, is
provided with a slot 413 through which extends a coupling bar 414 which is
provided at its lower end with the coupling pin 392 before referred to and at its
upper end with a cross pin 415.
Normally the end of the coupling pin 392 rests within the aperture in the end of
the nozzle lever 386 and the cross pin 415 at its upper end rests upon a fixed slotted
plate 416 as shown in Figures 89, 90.
The sleeve 412 and the shaft within it is in like manner slotted and through
them passes another coupling bar 417 having upon its lower end a coupling pin 402
which normally rests within the aperture in the outer end of the lever 387 connected
to the pump-plunger and having in its upper end a cross pin 418 which normally
rests upon a fixed slotted plate 419.
The cam wheel 401 (Figures 85, 87, 88) which operates the rod 390 to which the
pump-nozzle lever is adapted to be coupled and the rod 390" to which the pump-
plunger lever is adapted to be coupled is connected rigidly to the shaft 204
(Figure 29) upon which the large gear wheel 225 is secured and said gear wheel 225
is driven constantly from the main drive shaft 134 of the machine (Figure 29)
through the mediuin of gears 137, 138, shaft 139, gears 232, 231, shaft 230
(Figure 5) gear 229, pinion 228, shaft 227 and pinion 226, and it will thus be seen
that the rods 390, 390" are kept constantly moving up and down while the machine
is in operation. Whenever, therefore, through the simultaneous rocking of the
two shafts 372, 372 on the right and left sides of the machine the arm 382 is
moved in the direction indicated by the arrow 420 (Figure 89) the pins 392
and 402 are advanced so as to couple the nozzle lever and the pump-plunger lever
respectively, to the said rods 390, 390 the nozzle will be raised to the mold and
the pump-plunger caused to make a stroke and inject the metal into the mold
and upon the return of the shafts 372, 372 to normal position ready for the next
operation the said pins 392, 402 will again uncouple the nozzle lever and pump-
plunger levers the coupling bars to which said pins are connected will be again
suspended by the pins 415, 418 from the slotted plates 416, 419 in position for the
next stroke."
MECHANISM FOR ASSEMBLING THE TYPE AND TRANSFERRING THEM
TO THE GALLEY.
As before stated each time a type is cast in one of the molds of the mold wheel
a completed type is ejected from another mold and passes into a trough or
guide 447 (Figures 1, 96 to 99). Cooperating with this type guide are two
arms 448, 449 (Figures 96, 99), the former of which is fixed to hollow shaft 438
(Figure 100) and the latter of which is mounted so as to turn freely upon a fixed
shaft 439 which passes up through the hollow shaft 438.
The lower arm 448 is provided with a slide 450 (Figure 99) which has a
finger 451 at its outer extremity that is adapted to fit the type guide 447 and to
normally stand at the entrance to said groove in the position shown in Figure 96.

page_text: The upper arm is also provided with a slide 452 (Figures 96, 99) which in like
manner carries a finger 453 which projects also into the type groove 447. An
adjustable spring 454 connected at one end to a projection on the arm 448 and at
the other end to a projection on the arm 449 operates to draw the two arms
towards each other and to keep their respective fingers together in the type
grooves.
The slide 450 of the lower arm 448 is provided with a pin or stud 455 on its
under side which normally rests between lugs 456, 457 on the outer end of an
arm 458 (Figure 99) that is mounted upon and secured to a vertical shaft 459.
(Figures 1, 96, 114). Also secured to this shaft is another arm 460 (Figures 2,114)
to which is connected a rod 461 that is connected to a slide 462 which is in turn
connected to a vibrating lever 463 by another connecting rod 464. This lever 463
is vibrated at each stroke of the machine by means of a cam groove 465, shown in
dotted lines in Figure 114 and in section in Figure 115 and in full lines Figures 1,2
and 4 and the result is that through the described intermediate mechanism the
lide 450 is moved back ward so as to cause its finger 451 to uncover the entrance
to the type guide 447 and permit the finished type ejected from the mold wheel to
be forced into said type guide and then upon the withdrawal of the plunger which
has thus brought in the type, the said finger 451 is again advanced in front of the
entrance to the said guide, this back and forth motion of the slide and its finger
taking plače upon the ejection of each type from the mold wheel until the types for
a line have been assembled in the guide. As the finger 451 carried by the arm 448
is retracted to admit a type into the type guide the finger 453 carried by the upper
arm 449 is struck by the type and advanced the thickness thereof and when the
said first named finger 451 is again brought to first position behind the entered type
the latter will be held between both fingers and as each succeeding type is pushed
into the guide all its predecessors are pushed along before it thus causing the
retreat of the pin 453 and the arm upon which it is mounted, the spring 454
operating to maintain the vertical position of the type.
When all the ty pe for a line have thus been assembled in the type guide the
arm 448 is caused to swing around in the direction indicated by the arrow,
Figure 96, sweep the said fine from the type guide into one of the divisions of
the galley 465, and assume the position shown in Figure 99. The means for thus
operating the arm 448 are as follows:
Keferring to Figure 102 the part 121 seen in dotted lines is a cam wheel formed
upon or fixed to the side of the gear wheel 138 (Figures 1 and 5) and it is adapted
to impart a vibratory motion to a lever 422, Figure 102 which in turn imparts
reciprocating motion to a bar 423 through the instrumentality of a lever 424 and
connecting bar 425 the said lever 424 and the bar 425 being connected by an
adjustable slot and pin connection 426 which permits of the regulation of the
length of the throw of bar 423.
The forward end of bar 423 normally works in a guide 427 and just back of this
guide there is connected to the bar 423 a link 428 connected to a bell crank
lever 429 the upper arm of which stands in the path of a stud 430 on the hauger
or depending arm 279 of the pin carriage on the left side of the machine.
This stud 430 does not strike the lever 429 except when the first pin 113b of the
left hand carriage is projected into its cooperating cam cylinder in response to a
perforation invariably made in the record strip of the left side of the machine
alone after the type forming perforations have been made therein but when said.
first pin is projected and the said lever 429 is struck it lifts the outer end of the
bar 423 so that a recess or socket 431 in the top of said bar will engage with a
pin 432 on an arm 433 secured to shaft 434 upon which is also secured another
arm 435 as shown in Figures 100, 102, 105. As the bar 423 is constantly being
reciprocated back and forth its engagement with the said arm 433 when lifted as
described, causes the shaft 434 to be rocked and the arm 435 thereon to raise the
movable portion 436 of a clutch into engagement with a corresponding clutch
portion 437 ou the hollow shaft 438. Said movable portion 436 of the clutch is

page_text: provided with fingers or prolongations 441 which enter corresponding recesses in
an arm 440 (Figure 101) and the latter is kept in a constant state of vibration by
means of a cam groove 442 (Figures 1, 3, 96 and 115) through the instrumentality
of the lever 443 and a connecting, rod,444 (Figure 3). The movable portion 436
partakes of the motion of the vibrating arm 444 and remains connected whether
it is raised or lowered as will be readily understood.
Bearing in mind the portion 436 of the clutch is in constant motion back and
forth it will be readily seen that when said clutch portion is raised by the
operation of the first pin of the pin carriage through the described intermediate
connections it will become coupled to the hollow shaft 438 (Figure 100) and will
turn said shaft and cause the arm 448 (Figures 96, 99, 100) conuected to said
shaft to move around and its finger 453 to sweep the line of type into the galley as
before explained..
. In thus swinging around the pin, 455 on the slide 450 carried. by the arm 448
passes out from between the lugs 456, 457 of the arm 458. At this point I would
call attention to the fact that the lug 457 on the arm 458 is pivoted at the point 466
and is held up to its position by a spring 467, this provision being made to prevent
any breakage of the parts should the finger 451, carried by the arm 448, strike the
mold plunger by which the type is forced into the type guide before said plunger
is fully withdrawn from the guide, the spring pressed lug 457 under such
circumstances yielding to the pressure of the pin of the slide 450 that carries the
said finger 451.
In the transfer of the assembled line of type from the type guide to the galley
the finger 453 carried by the arm 449 being in advance of such assembled line is.
required to pass entirely across the galley and in order that it may be guided in
such passage and that it may be kept elevated and properly guided back after the
galley has advanced to bring its next compartment in line with the guide without
interfering with the galley a guide bar 468 (Figures 96, 964) is provided in line"
with the discharge end of the type guide and above the galley. This guide bar is
provided at its outer end with a slot 469 through which passes a screw 470 for
clamping it to a fixed part 471 (Figure 96) of the galley supporting frame while
its other end is adapted to enter a locking recess or aperture 472 on the opposite
side of the galley.
As the arm 449 swings across the galley its pin 453 rides upon this guide bar 468
and in the return movement does the like.
The form of the finger 453 is shown in Figure 96", 453 representing the
cylindrical portion which permits of its turning in the slide. 453 the prolongation
against which the type rest and 453° the slot which prevents it from turning when
riding upon the guide bar 468.
For the purpose of holding the arm 448 in its normal position an arm 473 is
provided upon the hollow shaft 438 and connect to said arm a spring 474 whose
other end is attached to a rigid part of the frame.
GALLEY AND GALLEY FEEDING MECHANISM.
The construction of a galley and the mechanism for feeding it will now be
.described.
Extending across the front of the machine and secured to the frame thereof is
a grooved rail 475. Parallel with this rail extends another rail 476 which is
supported upon brackets 477. In each of these brackets there works a screw
shaft 478 that passes through a. nut 479 secured to the rail 476. On the outer
end of each of these serew shafts 478 is a spiral gear 480 (Figures 3 and 96) which
meshes with one of a series of corresponding pinions 481 on a common shaft 482
(Figures 1, 3, 96).
On one end of the shaft 482 is squared as shown at 483 (Figures 1, 3) for the
application of a crank or handle and by turning the shaft by means of this crank

page_text: or handle the rail 476 is caused to be adjusted, nearer to or farther from the
grooved rail 475 to correspond to the width of the galley employed.
Both the grooved rails 475 and the-rail 476 are provided, with friction rollers as
at 484 to facilitate the movement of the galley thereon.
The galley itself is lettered 449 and is shown in. top plan in Figure 99, in bottom
plan in Figure 117, and in. front and rear elevation in Figures 118 and 119
respectively. A cross.section of it is shown in Figure 1194.
As seen in Figure 99 the galley is divided up into compartments for the
reception of lines of matter by transverse partitions 485, each compartment being
adapted to receive one line only. The front side is closed as shown at 486,
while its rear side is open so that the lines of type may be swept into the com
partments by the operation of the arms 448. and 449. A plate 490 (see Figures 1
and 1194) secured to the grooved rail 475 and extending from the type slot along
the rail toward the advancing end of the galley is provided for holding the lines.of
type into the galley after they have been inserted.
On the under side near the inner edge it is provided with a guiding tongue or
rib 487 which fits within the groove of the grooved. rail 475 and rests upon the
friction rollers therein, as shown. in Eigures 117, 1194. It is, also provided on its
under side with two racks 488, 489 which have oppositely inclined teeth. as shown.
in Figures 117, 118.
After a line of type has been swept. into, a compartment of the: galley, the
latter is required to be advanced in order to bring another compartment into
position. to receive the next succeeding line from the type guide and the mechanism
for automatically effecting the advance of the galley 1 will now proceed to.
describe.
Beneath the galley are located the pawls.491, 492 (Figures 108 to 113) that
respectively operate to engage, with the rack 489, to advance the. galley.one tooth
at a time and with the rack 488 to arrest and.lock, the galley after each advance
has been made, as, seen in Figure 111. The pawl 491 is adapted to .slide.np
and down in an arm 493 (Figures 111, 112, 113) an offset or projection 494
formed upon it being acted upon by a spring, 496 within, a recess in said.arm-493
to keep the pawl.pressed upward,in engagement with the, rack 489.
A screw 497 in the side of the pawl. 491 projects through a slot 498 in. an
upward extension of the arm 493 and serves to. limit the upward movement
of the pawl and prevents its being thrown out by the spring when the galley is
removed.
The arm 493 is secured rigidly to a rock shaft 499 as seen in Figures 108,
111, 112, 113 and when this rock shaft is rocked in, the direction indicated. by
the arrow Figure 108 the said pawl 497 is forced down against the tension of its
spring by the riding of its upper end over the back of one of the teeth of the
rack 489 until the front of the tooth is reached when its spring throws it.
upward in engagement with the face of said tooth and upon the rocking of
the shaft in the opposite direction the galley will be advanced one tooth so
as to bring the next type compartment opposite the type guide as will be readily
understood.
Pivoted at 502 to a projection 500 of a stationary frame 501 (Figure 108)
are two arms 503, 504 of unequal length the arm 504 being the longer. These two
arms are secured together by a screw 506 or otherwise, so that they will move in
unison.
The longer arm 504 is provided with an inclined slot 507 (Figure 109) into
which projects a pin 508 on the arm 493 while the shorter arm 503 is provided
with a slot 509 into which projects a pin 510 on the lower end of the vertically
sliding pawl 492 guided by the stationary frame 501 as shown in Figures 112, 113.
Now when the rock shaft 499 is rocked in the direction indicated by the arrow
in Figure 108 as before described so as to cause the pawl 491 to engage with
the next tooth of its cooperating rack 489, the pin 508 on the said arm 493
acting in the inclined slut 507 of the longer arm 504 will swing down said.
D

page_text: arm 504 and its companion shorter arm 503 and cause the latter to draw down
the vertically sliding pawl 492 out of engagement with its cooperating rack 488
and said sliding pawl 492 will not be engaged again with the next tooth of its
cooperating rack until the swinging pawl 491 has been moved back to first
position and has carried the galley forward one tooth as before described.
It will thus be seen that the pawl 491 is the one by which the galley is advanced
one tooth at a time and that the pawl 492 is the one which arrests and holds
locked the galley after such advance and prevents any possible overthrowing of the
galley when advanced.
The oscillations of the rock shaft 499 (Figure 108) by which the galley pawls
are operated and the consequent advance of the galley are effected whenever the
movable clutch member 436 (Figures 100, 102, 104) is raised. in engagement with
the hollow shaft 438 (Figure 100) by the projection of the first pin 113° of the pin
carriage (Figure 102) as described in detailing the action of the mechanism for
transferring the lines of type from the type groove into the galley.
As shown in Figure 102 the shaft 434 upon which the arm 435 that operates
the movable portion of said clutch is mounted has secured to it a gear segment 511
as shown in Figures 100, 105 which is in mesh with a corresponding segment 512
secured to a short shaft 513 and upon the upper end of the short shaft 513 is
secured an arm 514 that is connected by a rod 515 to a slide 516 (Figures 105
106, 107) which is guided in a block 517 secured to the grooved rail 475 that
supports the galley as shown in Figures 1, 2, 3, 96.
square stud 518* on
By reference to Figures 106 and 107 it will be seen that the slide 516 is
provided with a transverse groove 516 into which projects
the head 518 of a pin 518. The shank of this pin 518 fits an opening in a
slide 519 to which the rock shaft 499 of the pawl operating mechanism is
connected by means of a pin 521 (Figure 17) rod 522 and arm 523 (Figure 108).
When the slide 516 (Figures 106, 107) is in normal position within the guide
block 517 the head 518 of the pin 518 rests in a correspondingly shaped opening
in the block 517 as shown by the dotted lines Figure 107 but when the said
slide 516 is advanced the head 518 of said pin passes from said opening in the
block 517 and enters a corresponding opening 519 in the slide 520 thus entirely
disconnecting the said pin from the block 517.
Guided within the block 517 parallel with the slide 520 is another slide 524
shown in section Figure 106, and in top view Figures 107 and 96 and in side
elevation Figure 3.
This slide is continuously reciprocated back and forth by the action of a cam 525,
lever 526, connecting rod 527 and spring 528 as shown in Figures 1, 96, 115, 116
and it is provided with an opening 524 as shown in Figures 106, 107 that is
adapted to receive the end of the shank of the pin 518 when the slide 516 is
pushed forward.
Now, bearing in mind that the slide 524 is kept constantly reciprocating back
and forth it will be readily understood that when, through the turning of the rock
shaft 434 (Figure 102) by the striking of the pin 279 of the pin carriage, against
the lever 429, the slide 516, through the described intermediate connections will be
advanced and the pin 518° already connected to the slide 520 will be disengaged
from the block 517 and will enter the opening 524 of the slide 524 and thus couple
the two slides 520 and 524 together thereby causing the slide 520 to partake of the
motion of the slide 524 and, through the described intermediate connections rock
the shaft 499 (Figure 108) and operate the galley advancing and blocking pawls.
When the rock shalt 434 (Figure 102) resumes its normal position the slide 516
will move back again to the position shown in Figure 106 and the pin 518 will
uncouple the slide 520 from the slide 524 and become itself again locked to the
block 517 by the engagement of the head 518 with the opening in said block as
will be readily understood.
The spring 529 (Figure 105) operates to hold the slide 516 normally in its above
last named position.
