. Referrin to the drawings and generally speaking, t e matrices X am X are stored in the magazines Ayand C, and are reieased,

'therefrom by the proper manipulation of the respective keyboards A and whereby' they are delivered upon the common assembling belt E, and by it in turn to the assemhier B, from Which the composed iine is: transferred to the casting After the inotype is cast in the usual way, the matrices ere conveyed to the top of the machine, and there delivered to the disv tributer har or rail F-F, from Which they drop int the magazines A and C, all in thev manner Well understood by those skilied in the art. l

In the resent instance I have shown one additional. or supplemental mager/.ine C, in line edgewise with the magazine A, to contain the extra matrices X Which may he; desired from time to time in composition. The ma -fazine C is rectan nlar in shape, as' distinguished from the or inary trepezoidai magazine A, and is formed in' its opposite walls with two series of parallel grooves C10,- of sulicient size to receive th'e ears of any matrices to be contained therein. This com; struction adapts the magazine to receive matrices of widely diferent thicknesses.` For instance, Fig. 10 illustrates carpehility to contain ordinary matrices X in adjacent cl'uinn'elsor much thicker matr X2 inaiternote channels, in which ylatter case the thicker body portions pr ject into the intervening; vacant spaces.

As shown in Fig. 4, the magazine C is carried by the hase 'frame C, which is pio vided with the Well known cam ,levicos C,- Whereby the frame moy be moved to con- Venient position to permit the' removzn of the magazine and the substitution. of nn-l other therefor. Mounted in the main iframe,l
