To all whomz't may concern,

, Be it known that, we, JOHN SELLERS BAN-V CROFT and MAURITZ C. INDAHL, citizens of the United States, and residentsof Philadelphia, in the county of Philadelphia and State of Pennsylvania, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Galley Mechanism for Type-Composing Machines; and we do hereby declare the following to be a full, clear, and. exact description of the V same, reference being had'to the accompanying drawings, forming part of this SPQClfiCfi tion, and to the figures and letters of reference marked thereon. I

This invent on relates to improvements in or upon type composing. machinesof the;

class illustrated in Patent No. 625,998,:dated May 80, 1899, wherein the composed matter is set up a line at a time, and the successive lines, as produced, are assembled in column form in a galley, and it has for its principal object to facilitate and simplify the conversion of the galley mechanism from a right 'to a left hand delivery, andvice verse, to

the end that the machinemay be adapted to compose matter reading fromeither the left or right of the line. V l i I The machine of the prior patent; men tioned is primarily organized and equipped to compose in languages, such as English,

in which the characters in each line are read from left to right, and is not: adapted without change to set up in complete'column form Semitic and likev matter wherein the characters are read froin fright toleft of the column. or page. To adapt themachinefor such matter it hasbeen proposed to. assemble the type in the .line with the characters inverted, as by formingthe cavities of the producing matrices inverted, and, n connection therewith, to equip thegalley. mechanism so, that it ,will deliver the lines to a galley located upon the opposite or left I hand side ofthe line channel, instead of on the right hand sideas in the patented machine; An arrangement. of this kind isdisclosed in Patent No. 1,061,560, dated May 13, 1913, wherein provision is made for, elevating the assembled lineflabove the usual line carrying devices and for transferring it-to a galley located onthe same side ofkthe line channel as saidjline carrying'devices and above the latter. Thisinvolves every considerable change in the organization, and

elevation oflthe short I mechanism for right hand delivery. Fig. 10

side .to the other of the line channel. To overcome this and provide a transferrer. of

sufficient length to transfer the longest line which maybe composed in the machine the horizontal or line channel member of the present machine is formed in two sections, whereof the :main or body section attached to the supporting stem or lever is formed symmetrical, that is, its extremities are equidistant from the corresponding journal bearings 25, Figs. 5 and .7, so that it may be reversed and still maintain itsrelation to the type sustaining jaw 5 located on the same side of the linechannel, the support for said jaw forming part of. one side of the galley entrance. The other section 8* formingthe outward extension/of thevline transferrer remote. from sustaining jaws 5 is adapted for attachment tojeither end of the main or body section, as by providing each end of the latter with a seat 26" to which a central, longitudinal rear extension or web 27 of the section 8* is'detachably secured,'asby bolts 28, this connection being supplemental and a reinforced, if found necessary or desirable, by a dowel-joint 29 (Fig. 3) and interlocking or mortise joint 30, Fig. 5. As thus constructed when it is desired to reverse the position of: the line transferrer it is only. necessary to. detach the outer section 8*, turn the main orv body section 8 about a verticaland the extension section 8 abouta horizontal axis, apply said extension section to what "isnow the outer but before was the inner end of themain section, and apply the main section to its bearings. i

' When arranged for normalor right hand delivery, Figsgl and 2, the compression coupling 21 directly engages-the linetransferrer and is heldin engagement with the camhead 13 by a retracting spring 31, as shown in Fig.2. A reversal of the line transferrer for left hand delivery Figs. tand 5) renders this connection inoperative inasmuch as the direction of the motion controlled by the cam is now reversed. To. reestablish the connection, the stem of the linev transferrer is provided with a. pivot 33 for the reception of a lever 34-, one arm whereofengages com pression coupling '21 and the opposite arm engages an adjustable bearing 35 on the Upon connecting retracting spring 31, to lever 34, F 1g. 4-, it operates to retract frame.

before, to control the mov'ements, of the transferrer. a I i I,

A reversal in the position of the line tra nsferrer necessitates a corresponding change in the galley blade forming the opposed wall of the line channel, to, accomplish which an adjustable or extensible connection is made between said blade and its post .18. Such an adjustment is provided by forming the connection between the blade and its head or socket member-36 in two detachable and longitudinally movable sections united by suitable means, such as clamping screw 37. By loosening said connection the galley blade can be set to either side of the line channel and adjusted to the desired width thereof, its inner end riding in aguide 18 adjustably mounted as uponone of the sustaining jaws 5, said guide being adjusted to the predetermined width of the line channel. It may be noted in this connection that.

the sustaining jaws 5 at the entrance to the line channel are separately ad ustable, laterally of said channel, for which purpose and to permit the passing of the linecare well as of the line support 9. In the caseof the linesupport it is of the usual construcsize type for either right or left handdetion, but if it is to be reversed itmay be I supplied with a notch at each end instead of at one end'only so as to permit of trans position when the line transferrer is reversed. In the case of the line carrier, however, an impediment to reversal exists in the lateral extension of the line channel floor plate andthe relation which the hooks bear 1 to the actuating mechanism therefor. These obstacles are overcome and the line carrier rendered operableon either side of the line channel, and by the sameactuating devices, in the following manner: In the first place the lateral extension 23-of the floor plate is made separate and removable fromthe floor plate proper, and supports or guides 4E0 are provided on opposite sidesvof thefioor plate for the reception of said plate orextension. Inthe second place the head of the line carrier fIOIYiWlllCll its hook mombers project is coupled with the actuating head ormember ll, (see rigs. 14 and 15) through which i'notion is communicated .to.

said line carrier, in a manner to permit, of Y the inversionof the line carrierabout a hjorizontal axis and areversal of the head &1 about. a vertical axis. A simple and effective'form of coupling is shown, wherein 'headl-l' is furnished with one or more dowel 7 pins azland the head of the carrier with corresponding aperturesl (Fig. 19). r Mounted to reciprocate in guides beneath the noorplateare two heads or blocks $4, 45,

In either event it is forced back as the transferrer advances and, through machine. 7

The short and longrhne detector:is, as

heretofore provided with a narrow or tongue member 61 forcoo'peration with the furoated end of the line support. For right handdelivery. (Figs. 1,2, 9, 10, 11, 20 and I '21) this tongue member is mounted in guideways in a head 62,'the latter adjustahlelongitudinally of the line channel in ways on a frametS, as indicated in Fig. '2."

When pressure is applied to retract memher 61 it will, through the mecha'nism'described, cause a withdrawal of latch 17 and The machine is alsoequipped with ade tector adaptedvfor left hand delivery. In the present instance this includes a guide 80, (Figs. 1, 2, 8, 4 and 11) supported in bearingsSl and bridging the entrance to the galley. Adjustably secured to .guide 80 and resting upon the floor plate extension 23, when in position, is ahead 82 containing guides for the reception of'the movable tongue or tripping member 61*. Journaled in the head 82 is a shaft 83 to the inner end of which is. attached an arm 83* (dotted lines Figs. 4 and 11) engaging member 61*. Theouter end of shaft 83 of angular section passes loosely throughthe hub of a lever 84 journaled in outer bearing 81 thus accommodating itself to the adjusted positron of said head 82 transversely of the gal-,

ley entrance. Lever84 is connected by a link 85 to one arm of alever 8 6,the oppo site arm whereof is coupled by a link 87 withretaining latch 17. Either detector mechanisms can be removed at will by; the

., uncouolin of an of the connectin links l a p a or otherwise as desired. 1

The actuating devices for theline carrier and line support retractor. have been changed and improved to harmonize in action with either direction of line deliveryq and this too. without material change or alteration in the groove ofthecamhead heretofore employed in single delivery machines.

The new actuating mechanism includes two levers 90, 91, pivoted at one endtothe frame. The outer or free end of lever 90 engages between bearings 92 on slide 49 of the line carrier devicesll ligsr 4, Sand while the corresponding end of. lever 91 is ,coupled through an adjustable link with an arm 94. of'bell crank lever 54 pertaining to the line support retractor. A

lever 95 pivoted up'onithe frame hasvoneof its arms equipped with a roller 96 working in groove 97 in the cainhead and with a link 98 whose opposite end is connected to lever 91, whereby the motion communicated by the cam to lever 95 is transmittedcto lever 91.. Lever 90 is also coupled with the actuating lever 95, through aldouble' acting compression. device, the same comprising a head or plate 99 provided with oppositely arranged slots 100 each containing a pin 101 fast on lever .95. At a point intermediate slot-s 100 head 99 is connected by a link" 102 with level 90. Head 99 is provided with an arm 103 which latter is connected toan arm 104 of lever 95 through a spring 105., The arrangement i s suchthat in a normal or unrestrained condition head '99 will be tiltedby spring 105 to cause the 0pposite ends of the two slotted portions to en gage pins 101, and owing to the intermediate location of link 102 withrelation to said pins, pressure exerted upon said link in either direction and sufficient in degree to overcome the tension of spring 105 will other pm as a fulcrum.

54, 55, upon their pivots to effect the with drawal of retractor 10 from the line channel, but insuflicient to relieve the pressure of spring 105 by permitting contact of head 99 with both pins 100. In other words, the galley mechanism isbrought to rest at the beginning of; the outward stroke of actuatinglever 95 and while head 44 of the line carrier is still held in its extreme position- .under elastic pressure exerted by spring .105 throughthe previously displaced head 99. By locating the connections between levers 95and 90 at points respectively nearer the pivot of the former and remote from the pivot of the latter,and the connection be}; tween levers 95 and 91 at points respectively moreremote from the pivot of 95v and nearer the pivot of 91, the motions communicated to said levers 90, 91, from the same cam will differ both in extent and speed, with the ex cess in favor of lever 91. This excess; of motion is provided to effect the retraction of the line support retractor 10 at a speed greater than thatof the line carrierand to a point some distance beyond that to which the line support is moved when engaging memher-(31 (or 01*) is set to the maximum measure, and so that upon the return or inward movement of lever 91 said member 10 Wlll be-projeeted across .the line channel in po sition to engage the hue support and return I i V the latter to its initial positionf-and 'Withdraw from the linechannel so as to leave the on either s'ide'and'with its upper surface inthc' planeof that of 'thefloor plate, its inner end abutting against the outer edge of extension 28, and With the inner face of its rearcor inner side bar 108 flush Withthe outer margingofeither one "of the supports for su'staining'jaws 5."

From the foregoing description it is apparent that Without any radical change in the action or mode of operation of the galley mechanism when once adjusted, it has been endowed With a dual capacity, that of effecting either right or left hand delivery of thecomposed lines of type.
