Springs to Typehead Rear Plate and install fourth Spacer.
Install Spacer Washer on Detent Stud and Day-Date Detent
Pawl; secure with E-clip. Detent Pawl should be free on
Detent Stud. If tight or binding, you might have to remove thin
Washer or grind side surface of Detent Pawl. Connect Detent
Spring. Detent Pawl and Day-Date Follower Lever should
have as little side clearance as possible yet be free of binds.
Install Day-Date Ratchet. There should be 1/16" clearance
between tab on Day-Date Follower Lever and Hour Ratchet.
To increase this clearance, file or grind edge of tab. Too little
clearance will bind Hour Ratchet and result in losing hours.
Adjust for .002" clearance between Detent Pawl and Ratchet
as was done on Hour Detent Pawl and Ratchet. Insert .010"
feeler gauge between Day-Date Ratchet and Hour Ratchet,
press firmly on Day-Date Ratchet and tighten one Set Screw.
Remove gauge and remove aligning Shaft from Typewheels.
Manually operate Hour Follower Lever. It should operate from
its own Spring tension all the way around the Hour Ratchet. If
there is binding, check for proper Spring tension, clearance
between Ratchets, roughness on Detent Pawl or Ratchets,
binding Detent Pawl or Typewheels, and clearance between
Day-Date Detent Pawl and Day-Date Ratchet. If the Typehead
has Month Wheel, install Month Wheel and Month Bracket.
Leave the four Month Bracket Screws loose and align wheel
with rest of Typewheels using a straight edge. Press firmly on
straight edge against Typewheels and tighten all four Screws in
Month Bracket.
Now Typehead can be installed in the recorder. Slide the
Typehead into Left Inside Plate being sure that Set Screws in
the Drive Gear are in a position so they can be reached and
tightened with an AllenWrench. Slide the Right Inside Plate to
the left. Before securing Typehead with the four Mounting
Screws, align Right Inside Plate with Dial Drive Shaft, Dial
Lock Shaft, and the two Stabilizer Bars. Tighten the Hex Nut
in the Stabilizer Bar and tighten Mounting Screws on the
Right and Left Inside Plate.
Before putting the Upper Slide Shaft back into side frames,
there is one crucial alignment. Slip Ribbon Guide on the Right
Inside Plate — do not install Screws. Install Upper Slide Shaft
and engage Slide Shaft Latch. Position Ribbon Guide and start
both Mounting Screws. The correct position for Ribbon Guide
is when the Ribbon is positioned as close as possible to
Typewheels but not touching. If the Ribbon touches the
Typewheels it is possible for the Minute Wheel to twist the
Ribbon. If the Ribbon is too far back, the time card can hit the
edge of the Ribbon and twist it. Ribbon positioning is very
important! Tighten Screws in the Ribbon Guide. Install the
Chip Deflector and tighten screws.
Position Drive Gear to Minute Wheel being sure the side of
the Gear does not rub the side of the Wheel, rotate the top of
the Drive Gear to the rear until Gear stops, and then tighten
both Set Screws in the Drive Gear. Install Card Receiver
Support Plate and start the four Mounting Screws.Align
Upper Card Receiver to Inside Card Receiver and tighten the
four Mounting Screws. Plug in the Recorder and print on a
card. The “00”on Minute Wheel will always be the aligning
reference for other Typewheels as explained earlier. Align all
Typewheels and tighten Set Screws in the Hour and Day-Date
Ratchets. Install the Dial Assembly by aligning the slots on the
back of Dial Assembly with the lugs on the Inside Plates.
Secure the Dial Assembly by tightening the Screw on under-
side of Dial Assembly. Adjust printing as Follows:
1. Heavy or light printing is corrected by movingYear-
Month Bracket in or out. A simple way to do this is to
loosen the four Screws in the Bracket and push the
Bracket all the way in. Snug down the four screws. Take a
print — it should be light printing. Place a punch or
screwdriver on the top outside corner of Bracket and tap
Bracket down until printing is uniform. Tighten the four
Bracket Screws. Heavy print on Month or Symbol will
cause light printing on other Typewheels, which would be
hard to read.
2. The Month Latch has an elongated mounting hole.
Loosen Latch Mounting Screw and slide Latch up or
down to correct alignment. Sometimes moving Latch will
not align month printing. In that case, theYear-Month
Bracket must be moved. This can be done with a punch
and Hammer. Tap Bracket up or down. After moving
Bracket, check the four Screws for tightness.
Steps 1 & 2 might have to be made in reverse order — adjust
alignment before heavy or light print adjustment is made.
V. CARD RECEIVER
As the time card is inserted into Upper Card Receiver, the left
corner of card will contact the Left Card Guide. The Left Card
Guide is spring loaded which will push the time card to the
right. The purpose of the Left Card Guide is to insure that the
time card will align with the Punch and Die and to insure that
the right edge of time card will actuate the Right Hand Guide
Operating Lever. If the time card does not actuate the Right
Hand Guide Operating Lever, the Recorder will not print. This
is why the Card Receiver should not be more than one thirty-
second
(1/32") of an inch wider than the time card you plan to use.
When the time card actuates the Right Hand Guide Operating
Lever, this closes the Cancellation Microswitch. As the card
goes further down the Card Receiver, the left corner of card
will hit the Card Trip Lever which will close the Print
Microswitch. When the Print Microswitch closes, the follow-
ing functions will take place: Solenoid will energize and rotate
the Hammer Shaft Assembly, Card Punch will remove left
corner of time card, Platen strikes card for print, Cancellation
Bracket strikes Cancellation Pawl opening Cancellation
Microswitch, and Hammer restores to normal. This sequence
takes place each time the Recorder prints.
