PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
An Improved Type Galley.
I, ERNST WENTSCHER of Friesenstrasse, Berlin, in the German Empire,
Engineer, do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
This invention relates to the provision in a type galley of a device by which
composed types may be fixed and held in a simple and convenient manner.
The type galley has three raised sides on which two slotted slide bars cross each
other at right angles. The cross bars are adjusted to enclose the composed types
between them and the sides of the galley by sliding the one over the other to the
required position, locking them together by a screw bolt which passes through the
slots of the same and wing or lever nut, and then by means of set screws fitted one
in one end of each of the two cross bars and respectively screwing against one of
the raised sides of the galley the adjusted cross bars are fixed in position.
Dated this 2nd day of October 1890.

COMPLETE SPECIFICATION.
An Improved Type Galley.
I, ERNST WENTSCHER, of Friesenstrasse 5, Berlin, in the German Empire,
Engineer, 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 aud
by the following statement :-
This invention relates to the provision in a type galley of a device by which
composed types may be locked up or held together in a simple and convenient
manner. It may prove useful in many different ways.
If for instance a prove is to be taken, the apparatus renders unnecessary to
tie-up the page and remove it from the galley, as the set is securely locked up by
the new locking-up device.
On the other hand this apparatus may be useful in carrying out corrections, as
the page is held together so as to prevent pying.
At last the new locking-up device is shewn to its greatest advantage for jobbing,
in the case of intricate work, when it is of the greatest importance to have a frame
surrounding the types to be composed.
The apparatus of the invention is shewn in the accompanying drawing in
connexion with a type galley.
Fig. 1 is a top view and
Fig. 2 a section through line x-y of Fig. 1:
Two slide bars a, b fitted with slots g, h and crossing each other at right angles
may be locked together by a screw bolt e, which passes through the slots of the
same, and nut guided without turning in a groove of the bar . By means of
traversing notches c the bars a, b are slid on the raised sides of the galley and then
fixed by means of set screws m, n fitted one in one end of each of the two cross
bars; thus being possible to form by the bars a, b and two raised sides of the
galley a frame convenient to any page.
When locking-up a page the work is done as follows :
The bars a, are pressed by hand against the open sides of the set and then
fixed on the raised sides of the galley by means of the screws m, n; thereafter by
means of the loose ends of the bars a, b, seized by both hands, the page is tightly

page_text: pressed together, like by means of levers, and then the bars a, b are locked together
by screwing the bolt e.
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:
ولا
A locking-up device for type galleys, consisting of two bars a, b fitted with
slots
and crossing each other at right angles, the bars being fixed on the sides
of the type galley, and used like levers for locking up the page and then locked
firmly together at the crossing point by means of a screw bolt e or any other
equivalent substantially as described and shewn.
Dated this 29th day of June 1890.
