PRINTER S TYPE.

Specification of Letters Patent.

I Patented Jan. 30, 1912.

Original application filed June 29, 1909, Serial No. 505,063. Divided and this application filed November 16, 1910. Serial No. 592,619.

To all whom it may concern: 1

Be it known that I, WILLIAM M. KELLY, a citizen of the United States, now residing at New York city, New York, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Printers Type, of which the following is a-speoification, this being a divisional application, the original application having been filed June 29, 1909, Serial No. 505,063, entitled Type setting and distributing machines.

My invention relates to type for use in type-setting and distributing machines and it is of such a nature that 1t will permit of the use of various body sizes of type in the same channel, without having to change or adjust the channel in any way.

Referring to the accompanying drawings to which reference will be made in the following description, Figure 1 is a plan; Figs.

2, 3, and 4 are plans'of a type channel, such as is adapted'to receive and hold set-way, the type shown in Fig. 1Figs. 3 and 4 showing two different body sizes of type. Fig. 5 is a front elevation of a portion of two channels, showing different bodysizes contained therein. I

I use a plurality of fonts of varying body sizes of typefour different sizes, 1, 2, 3, and t, being shown in Fig. 1. These type, except the minimum size. 1, all have nicks These nicks vary in depth and are in proper; tion to the body width, so that the remaining land 2'. 0., the distance from the bottom of the nick to the opposite edge of the type (represented in the drawings by the dimension y) is the same in all the sizes and the same as the minimum size.

In Fig. 2 I have shown a type channel'6,

such as is adapted to receive my improved type. This channel is provided with blocking wards 7, which are adapted to enter the nicks 5 of the type-the type having only a running clearance between the ward 7 and the opposite wall of the channel 6.

I have shown the type witlrdistributing nicks 8 and the channels with corresponding wards 9, in the usual manner; but this has nothing to do with my invention.

In the original application I illustrated a type-setting machine in which the channels of the magazine cylinder were arranged in sets. One set-say the odd numbered chan- -nelscontained one body size of type and the other set-the even numbered channels contained type of a different body size. By turnlng the magazine slightly, either set could be brought into operative position.

In Fig. 5 I-have shown, in front elevation, a portion of two channels of such a machine as the one just referred to-one channel 10 containing type of size 3 of Fig. 1 and one channel 11 containing type of size 4..

What I claim is:

1. .A. plurality of fonts of printers' type of different. and various body sizes, nicked so that the remaining land is'the same in all the various sizes.

2. A plurality of fonts of printers type of different or various body sizes, the type of maximum body size and theintcrmediate sizes between the maximum and the minimum body sizebeing nicked so that the remaining land is the same as the minimum body size.

In testimony whereof I afiix my signature in presence of two witnesses.

ROBERT W. NELSON, JOHN S. MUnPnY.
