Fig. 25 is a view of a portion of a printing press showing the application of my device.

Like reference characters indicate corresponding parts throughout the several views.

I The reference numeral. 1 designates the bed of the press to the sides of which the 1s secured by screws or in other to permit-the insertion of thetongue 10f the guide pin block 5 adapted to slide longitudinally of said frame and provided with a plurality of guide pins 6; said tongue 4:

being propelled by means of the traveling nut 7 operatively associated with the screw portion 12 of said strap. The guide strap is formed with lateral shoulders 11 to re tain the sliding guides orregisters 13 to be hereinafter described. The said strap 11, further, is provided with the adjusting screw l2 'by means of which the strap may be drawn taut when in position.

Sliding guide 13, 13 of oblong formation are arranged upon said guide strap and each one carries an elongated finger 14 adapted to project over the paper 15 While one edge of said paper is kept true by the abutting straight edge of the guides 13. To

move the paper lengthwise of the plate 1 the screws 8 are rotated thus causing the traveling nuts 7 to move the pin blocks together with the guide strap and the guides arranged on said strap. It is obvious that a fine adjustment of the paper with relation to the plate is possible in this manner.

To the guide strap 11 an auxiliary guide strap 16 is secured which lies in a plane at right angles to the plane of said guide strap and upon said auxiliary guide strap a tele- I A registering scoping guide isslidably arranged, said operable means for actuating said guide pin guide comprising the relatively fixe'cttongue blacks, uide pins carried by said guide pin 60 17' formed with rows (Sf-staggered "graduations 18, and the relatively movable and adjustable casing 19 slottedlongitudinallyas 20, 21 through which slotted portions'the =adjusting screw's 22, 23- extend respectively;

the screw 22 serving to :retain; the tongue 17 and casing 19 in adjusted relation and the la-screw 23? serving 'to secure saidit'ong'ue to the auxiliary guide strap 16. The 'casing'l'ld is iprovidedwwith alined ears 2st, 24 through which the finger 25 extends that is adapted to extend beyond the work-engaging edge of the casing 19 and over the adjacentdedge of th'epaper' 15 to, prevent the same from following the type of the press during the printing operation. "The purpose of the telescoping guide is to effect a vtransverse adjustment of the paper which adjustment -is-eflected by means'of the adjusting screw 22 which is used to move the casing 19 with relation to the tongue 17, the said casing engaging and directly moving the" paper. 2 5' Thegraduations in any staggered row may be consecutively staggered one-thirty second of an inch, or less if desired, thus'afli'ording "a'very delicate transverse adjustment of the "paper by moving the casing 19 along the tongue from one of said 'grad'uations to the nextin any staggered row L What is'claimed is:' i
