PLATE 3
BACK SPACE a CARRIAGE MAIN SPRING

BACK SPACE MECHANISM
THIS MECHANISM IS VERY SIMPLE IN CONSTRUCTION AND WILL REQUIRE VERY LITTLE ADJUSTMENT.
IT IS NECESSARY, AS IN ALL PARTS OF THE MACHINE, TO HAVE FREE MOVING PARTS.
TO REMOVE BACK SPACE PAWL COMPLETE
REMOVE RIGHT CYLINDER KNOB,RIGHT CARRIAGE END COVER AND RIGHT CARRIAGE RELEASE LEVER
PIVOT SCREW. (do not LOSE CARRIAGE RELEASE LEVER SPRING OR SPACER) .
MOVE CARRIAGE TO EXTREME LEFT. UNHOOK BACK SPACE PAWL ARM SPRING (s) FROM STUD (7) .
REMOVE SPACER ( 5) . RAISE CARRIAGE RELEASE LEVER, RIGHT AND REMOVE BACK SPACE PAWL
COMPLETE FROM MACHINE.

RACK, AND BACK SPACE LOCK PAWL (2) TO REAR. PLACE BACK SPACE PAWL ARM (6) ON STUD
(1 1) OF BACK SPACE INTERMEDIATE LEVER ( 12) , PUT SPACER (s) ON STUD (7) , HOOK UP BACK
SPACE PAWL ARM SPRING (s) . REPLACE CARRIAGE RELEASE LEVER SPACER, SPRING AND PIVOT
SCREW (not shown) .
ADJUSTMENTS
1 . LOOSEN SCREW ( I) , ADJUST BACK SPACE PAWL (4) AS FAR TO LEFT AS POSSIBLE. TIGHTEN
SCREW ( 1) .
2. CHECK BACK SPACE KEY LEVER ( 14)T0 SEE THAT IT IS RESTING LIGHTLY ON KEY LEVER UP-
STOP . ALSO BACK SPACE INTERMEDIATE LEVER ( 12) MUST NOT BE OPERATED WHEN BACK
SPACE MECHANISM IS AT REST.
FORM BACK SPACE CONNECTING LINK (9) AT POINT ( IO) TO OBTAIN THESE CONDITIONS.
3. DEPRESS AND HOLD BACKSPACE KEYLEVER. CARRIAGE MUST BE LOCKED.
4. IF CARRIAGE DOES NOT BACK SPACE PROPERLY, BACK SPACE PAWL (4) WILL HAVE TO BE
REPOS ITIONED .
CARRIAGE MAIN SPRING
CARRIAGE SPRING DRUM ASSEMBLY ( 8) IS MOUNTED TO FRAME BASE OF MACHINE BY SPRING DRUM
NUT ( 13) , MAIN SPRING SHOULD HAVE ENOUGH TENSION TO PREVENT PILING OF ONE CHARACTER
ON TOP OF ANOTHER WHEN TYPING RAPIDLY INTO EXTREME RIGHT MARGIN.

CYLINDER a LINE SPACE

CYLINDER AND LINE SPACE MECHANISM
CYLINDER
WITH CYLINDER (6) IN POSITION, RAISE PAPER BAIL SCALE AND PULL FEED ROLL RELEASE LEVER
(see CARRIAGE PLATE) TO FRONT. SPIN CYLINDER (6) . CHECK FOR FREEDOM IN BUSHINGS (9)
AND ( 16) WITHOUT END PLAY. END PLAY IN CYLINDER CAN BE REMOVED BY LOOSENING CYLINDER
SHAFT BEARING NUT ( 10) AND ADJUSTING C YLIN D E R S H AFT BUSHING (9) UNTIL THERE IS NO END
PLAY INCYLINDER BUT STILL FREE TO SPIN. TIGHTEN NUT ( 10) TO RETAIN ADJUSTMENT.
REMOVAL OF CYLINDER
REMOVE LEFT PLATEN KNOB (22) BY HOLDING CYLINDER (S) SECURELY AND TURNING KNOB TOWARD
REAR OF MACHINE. (DO NOT LOSE SPACER ( 17) . REMOVE RIGHT CYLINDER SHAFT SCREW (7)
AND PULL CYLINDER SHAFT ( 8) TO RIGHT AND OUT OF CARRIAGE. RAISE PAPER BAIL SCALE AND
REMOVE CYLINDER UP AND TO RIGHT.
TO REPLACE CYLINDER. REVERSE ABOVE PROCEDURE.
VARIABLE LINE SPACE
THE VARIABLE MECHANISM IS NOT ADJUSTABLE AND DEPENDS UPON FREENESS OF, AND CORRECT
ASSEMBLY OF, ITS PARTS.
WHEN LEFT PLATEN KNOB (22) IS TIGHT, VARIABLE LINE SPACE SHAFT (23) MUST HAVE A SLIGHT
AMOUNT OF END PLAY. TEST WITH VARIABLE SET AT VARIOUS POSITIONS. NO END PLAY IN SHAFT
(23) WOULD PREVENT CLUTCH CONE RETAINING SPRING ( 5) FROM FORCING CLUTCH CONE (4) TO
CAM CYLINDER CLUTCH JAWS (3) INTO INTERNAL SERRATIONS (2) OF RATCHET (I) SECURELY,
WHICH IS NECESSARY TO OBTAIN EVEN SPACING BETWEEN TINES.
LINE SPACE ADJUSTMENTS
I
ASSEMBLE LINE SPACE LEVER SPRING ( 1 9) TO L I N E S P ACE L E VE R ( 2 1 ) WITH SCREWS ( 20) . DO
NOT TIGHTEN SCREWS. HOLD LINE SPACE LEVER (2 1) TO ITS HIGHEST POSITION. PLACE HOLE
( 18) OF LINE SPACE LEVER SPRING ( 19) OVER TOP OF LINE SPACE LEVER SHAFT (24) . TIGHTEN
LINE SPACE LEVER SPRING SCREWS ( 19) .
CHECK FOR SLIGHT PLAY IN LINE SPACE RATCHET DETENT ROLL RELEASE LEVER (25) . IF THERE
IS TOO MUCH P.LAY, FORM LINE SPACE RATCHET DETENT ( 15) AWAY FROM CYLINDER RATCHET ( I)
AND VICE VERSA.
WITH PAPER BAIL SCALE RAISED, AND FEED ROLL RELEASE LEVER PULLED FORWARD; LINE SPACE
REGULATOR ( 12) SET TO REAR, MOVE LINE SPACE LEVER (21) TO RIGHT SLOWLY .OBSERVE THAT
REAR OF LINE SPACE PAWL ( 1 1) ENGAGES TEETH OF RATCHET ( I) AND, AS LINE SPACE LEVER
CONTINUES TO RIGHT AND HAS MOVED CYLINDER TWO TEETH OF RATCHET, LINE SPACE PAWL (II)
MUST LIMIT AGAINST LINE SPACE REGULATOR ECCENTRIC SCREW ( 13) . IF NOT, LOOSEN LINE
SPACE REGULATOR ECCENTRIC SCREW NUT (26) AND ADJUST LINE SPACE REGULATOR ECCENTRIC
SCREW (13) . TIGHTEN NUT (26) .
THIS IS AN IMPORTANT ADJUSTMENT. THE SOLE PURPOSE OF DETENT ROLL ( 14) IS TO HOLD
RATCHET IN POSITION THAT LINE SPACE LEVER (21) PUTS IT.
THE FINAL TEST TO SEE IF RATCHET DETENT ROLL ( 14) IS PROPERLY SET IS TO OPERATE LINE
SPACE LEVER TO ITS LIMIT AND RELEASE SLOWLY, OBSERVING AT SAME TIME WHETHER PLATEN
RATCHET CREEPS TO FRONT OR REAR OF MACHINE SLIGHTLY; IF IT DOES, READJUST ECCENTRIC
SCREW (13) UNTIL CORRECTED.
