FOREWORD
This instruction book is intended primarily for mechanics, but it can be studied
to very good advantage by salesmen. This book is not an operator's instruction
book and should not be given to customers.
The drawings contained in this book should be studied in connection with the read
ing matter and are of great assistance in learning the functions and adjustments
of the various mechanical units. For those in the Foreign field who do not read
English, a careful study of the drawings will give helpful fundamental information.
Study one unit thoroughly before going on to another
io obtain the best results, learn the adjustments pertaining to a unit from the
book and then make them on the machine.

BACK SPACE MECHANISM ADJUSTMENTS
This mechanism is very simple and requires very little adjustment.
It is necessary, as in all parts of the machine, to have free moving parts.
However, if the Back Space Mechanism should fail to operate, check the following:
See that the Back Space Dog Spring 6-6901 has sufficient tension to keep the Back
Space Dog 6-703 clear of the Escapement Wheel.
Also see that the Dog 6-703 is free in movement on the Back Space Dog Guide Screw
6-6305.
There are, five kinds of Back Space Dogs 6-703. 8 Pitch, 10 Pitch, 12 Pitch,
14 Pitch and 16 Pitch.
Check the Dog 6-703 to correspond with the spacing of the machine.
See that the Escapement Body is positioned so that the Fixed Dog holds the Escapement
Wheel in such a position that the Tooth of the Wheel will be fully engaged by the
Back Space Dog. j ^ j
The location of the Escapement Body has been described in the text covering the
Escapement Mechanism.

CARRIAGE MECHARISM ADJUSTMENTS
PAPER SCALE, TABULATOR STOP RACK, MARGIN STOP RACK & FEED RACK
The graduations on the Paper Scale 6-3554 should agree in point with the Tabulator
Stop 10-40539 and the Margin Stop setting.
For example: If the Margin Stop Left 10-40366 is set at "10" and the Carriage is at
the margin, the position on the Paper Scale Indicator, located on the Type Bar Comb
Upper, should indicate "10" on the Paper Scale 6-3654. If not, adjust the Paper Scale
to right or left by loosening the Paper Scale Screws 10-6676, If adjustment can not
be obtained by moving the Paper Scale, loosen the Screws 10-6613, holding the Scale
Indicator to the Type Bar Comb 10-40511, and set it to right or left as desired. See
that the Paper Scale Rolls 10-42294 roll freely, and that the sleeves are oiled, also
see that they move with slight friction on the Paper Scale 6-3654 to the right or left.
The Margin Stops Left, 10-40866 and Right, 10-40831 must move freely from right to
left on the Margin Stop.Rack 10-40788 and see that they lock in the position for which
they.are set.
The Feed Rack, 10-40821 must be properly meshed with the Escapement Shaft Pinion and
to make the proper adjustment, loosen the Feed Rack Support Screws 6-6424 and move the
Feed Rack 10-40821 to front or back until it meshes properly, with slight amount of
play, then tighten the screws.
The Feed Rack, 10-40821 should also be adjusted so that when the Margin Stop Left,
10-40866 rests beside the Margin Release Lever 10-40036, the Margin Release Lever
should be free to .work in and out. This can be done by adjusting the Feed Rack Adjust
ing Plate Eccentric"6-3513 by loosening the Feed Rack Adjusting Plate Eccentric Screw
6-6449 and turning the Eccentric until there is .015" clearance between Left Margin
Stop and Margin Release Lever. _ If this adjustment is not held close, irregular left
margins will be the result. Likewise, more than .015" clearance would give the same
result.
lext. See that the Tabulator Set Lever, 10-40684 strikes the Tabulator Stop 10-40539 -
■ squarely, and upon throwing out a nmber of Stops, one after the other in a row, see
that'the Tabulator Lever 10-40741 will come out centrally betv/een each Tabulator Stop
when Tabulator Key is depressed. If not, adjust by loosening the Tabulator Stop Rack
Screws Left, 10-6666 and Right, 10-6667 and making the adjustment on the Tabulator
Stop Rack Adjusting Screw and Nut 10-6619N on the Carriage End Right 10-61481.
Refer to Tabulator Adjustments and Illustration.
Test the Carriage Release Levers Left, 10-40950 and Right, 10-40951 and see that they
are free and that they raise the Feed Rack 10-40821 clear of the Pinion. Check the
Feed Rack Adjusting Plate Eccentric Screw 6-6449 and the Feed Rack Support Screws
6-6424 to make sure that they are tight.

PLATEN ROLL & LINE SPACE MECHANISM ADJUSTMENTS
, ,In case of trouble with the Line Space and Variable Line Space Mechanism, see that
the"parts of the mechanism are oiled and that the Variable Line Space Clutch Dogs
'6-2221 are free in their slots. Also see that the Variable Line Space Clutch Dog
■Spring 6-6980 is in good condition and functioning properly.
The Variable Line Space Clutch Dog Cams 6-2220 should be free and under good spring
tension. Further, see that the teeth of the Variable Line Space Ratchet 6-2163 are
not worn. Check the teeth on both inside and outside of Ratchet.
Check and adjust the Line Space Mechanism' as follows:
The Line Space Lever 10-60427 should have no lost play to the right or left when sett
ing in a normal rest position. If it has, this can be corrected by forming Lip "A"
to the rear slightly until it touches the upper front end of the Pawl and Bell Crank
10-40989.
Next, hold the Line Space Lever to the right as far as it will go and test the Platen
Roll 10-60963 by trying to turn its knobs to the front or back. The Platen Roll
should be securely locked in place. If the Platen Roll is not locked in place, make
sure thai Lip "B" of the Pawl and Bell Crank 10-40989 is striking squarely on top of
the Pawl'';Etqp Screw 10-6635. If not, align parts and adjust the limit screw.
With these adjustments completed, hold the Line Space Lever 10-60427 to the right
firmly, and check to see that the Roll on the Ratchet:Detent Bracket 10-40839 is fully
seated and located centrally between two teeth of the Ratchet 6-2163. If not, this
adjustment can be made by loosening the Ratchet Detent Bushing Screw 10-6662 and turn
ing the Eccentric Bushing 6-22807. If not possible to obtain this adjustment through
the Eccentric, it may be necessary to readjust the Pawl Stop Screw 10-6635, then follow
by readjusting the Eccentric. ,
NOTE: It is not the purpose of the Detent Roll, on the Ratchet^Detent Bracket
10-40839, to back up uhe Platen Roll Ratchet 6-2163 if it is spaced too far, nor to
iturn the Platen Ratchet.farther if it is not spaced enough. The sole purpose of this
/■ Detent^R'oll is to hold the Platen Ratchet 6-2163 at the position to. which it is spaced
' by ttie'Line Space Lever, as outlined in preceding paragraphs. When releasing the Line
-Spacq Lever, after having spaced, the Platen Roll should not creep or move slightly to
.the front,or back-.of the'machine. If it does, it indicates that the JEccentric Bushing
6-22807 has., not been correctly adjusted.
■ The pressure...of_the Detent Roll of the Ratchet Detent Bracket 10-40839 against the
Ratchet 6-21BB.-should be firm to hold the Ratchet in place. This pressure can he
adjusted by thefi.Ratchet Detent Spring Screw 10-6668. However, the pressure should
not be; so great-, against the Ratchet that it would make it too hard .for the operator
Ito turn the",.I^ahen. ' ' " "
With the above.'-mentioned adjustments made, the paper should feed correctly if the
Platen Roll And Fe;ed Rolls have not become glazed or hardened from age. The Glaze
can" be:removed; by,rubbing the Platen and Feed Rolls with a clean soft rag dampened
with denatured; alcohol.
The Platen Roll 10-60963, should have no noticeable end play, yet it should spin ..
freely in the carriage'when the Feed Roll Release Lever is depressed. This can be
■ adjusted by loosening the screws in the right end of the right Platen Knob 10-63233
and turning in on the Kiiob until the end play is removed. Then tighten the screw in -
"the end of this.Knob'to,lock it in position.
Caution: Care should be taken not to tnrn this Knob in too far, which would result
in the Platen Roll being too hard to turn. Too much end play on the other hand will
'cause poor alignment.
The Noiseless Model 10 has a demountable platen, i.e. it can be removed easily by the
operator. This makes it possible for her to change, to one with Card: Attachment or
put in a harder platen for making more carbon copies. " -
When the Platen Lock Lever is pushed to the rear, the Platen Arm Lock Thrust Screws
6-6547 and 6-6541 should be adjusted for a slight detent action in order to hold the
Platen Roll Bushingis. Firmly in place.
Note: For further adjustments in regard to Paper Feed, refer to "ADJUSTMENT OF
PAPER FEED ROLL MECHANISM" under the heading of "CARRIAGE MECHANISM".
