" forward y under the platen. Y

latter lnion also meshing with a pinion 9,

which 1s fast to the shaft 6 of the line-space wheel 45. The platen 18 is had against the' Vfeed rolls 23 by means of a handle 9 on the swing frar'necaught by. theusual pivoted hook 9. The typist may swing the swing frame lup by pushin the hook 9d rearwardly f tofrelease the hand e, and then drawing on the handle, with the result that the platen swings up untilwebs 10, drawn along the Subrarrgage 14, can Vbe stretched straight The fan-fold web 10 may be introduced in the machine at its rear side and carried fo wardly and down and up around the platen 18 in the usual way, and its leading edge may be passed up under the usual front feed rolls 17, and led under the usual web-sever.-

' ing knife 39, and the edge of the web may be' brought into coincidence with the cutting, edge' of the knife. lVhile the web is lightly held by the rolls 12', (the usual bottom feed rolls 22, 23 being cast oi Iby the usualkey -w'ard extension fr exn the usual platen' carriage 20 of the Underwood typewriting'g; ma-

.chine The single ply 4web .'11 is led along forwardly [beneath Athe carbon '-16 which underlies the fanffold web, and .passes over av bar. 21, and thence downwardly around under the platen 18 and assembled under or around' 'the fan-fold web 10, and. thus it may be led upwardly (the feed rolls-.22, 23 remain-.- ing casteil' from theplaten) and over 'the fan-fold web' 10 until the leading edge of the single ply web is brought to a gage25, beyond 'the knife edge 39, and resting upon the overlying table 25,".

The bar 21 Amay be in the form of a rolled rim provided upon the upper .portion of a paper shelf 26, which extends forwardly and 'downwardly/.to curve around the under side of the platen; Vand this bar- 21 -may be placed some distance below the. bar 24, over which the fan-fold web 10 turns in de seending to -th'e platen. "The extra cannon 16 may; if desired, pass o'ver the bar 24, although preferably it passes between 24 and the web 11` and may rest upon-.a table or shelf 262,' extending back fromthe usual. tie-rod 26b which connects the side plates of.-V

supplementary carriage 19, said shelf lying suiiciently* low to clear the carbon carriage 14,'as illustrated at Fig. 3 The reali` end ofvthis carbon 16 is caughtupon a special blade 27 provided upon en -extension- 28 -at the lower front portlon of the cai'boncarria 14. The special web-supporting table 18?l may ssj.

be supported at its .forward end upon hangers 29 depending from the ,side bars of the 'carriage 19, and at its rear end upon a crossbar BOconnected b brackets 32 to hangers 31 dropped from the side bars of 19; said hangers 31 being at the sides of the machine, and havmg -rolls A33 to run upon a rail 34.

During the aforesaid mani ulation of the.

main o'r outer web 11, the lea ing end of the fan-fold web 10 maybe held in its previously gaged-positiomby means of said front rolls 17. These web units may thus be `brought into perfect relative register as to the forms printed thereon, even though their leading edges maybe one in. advance-of the ,other. It will be understood that the f orms on 'the outer web 11 may have extensive headingsv .printed thereon, and hence may be longer than the forms on the fan-fold web 10, which need no headin The" outer web isoriglnally advan a corresponding distance beyond thefan-fold web, so as to bring .their forms 'intorelative register; and Ait will be understood that when the webs are sub- AAsequently divided into pages, the page `severed from the outer webA will be longer than those which-areseve'red from the fanfold web.

When the. outer web 11 has been brought up a amst its gage 25, the collated webs may e pressedby the restored feed rolls 22, 23 agamst the bottom of the platen. The

y rolls 17 may ,relnaln' effective.

TheA gage 25 may, if desired,lfbe omitted, and themaln or overlying web 11 may have a llne ormark printed thereon to coincide with said top ledge of the fan-fold page, so..

that the operatorinayneedonly to draw the'outer sheetll up until'he sees that such prlnted line registers with the tearing edge of the knife'. In other words, the webs may,

if desired, be originally collated. to the knife edge, the fanfold leading edge being first brought to said edge, and there held lightly jby the pressure of rolls 17, while the outer `web 11 is advanced thereover tobi-ing the `line or mark thereon into register with said knife edge.

Then the typing of the page may proceed. If such page is to becompletely lilled out by I the typing, the line-feeding operations will `finally bring the leading edge of the web 10 into engagement with a gage 35. But if. the

`typing is not to fill up the page, the operator will finally needto advance the web 10 to said gage 35, preferably after the carbonsheets have been shifted back for the succeeding form or page.

izo

1,31e,e14 A Whether the page has benenfully or only by the typing, the operator Y proceeds 'to release the front rolls 17 (each of which for this purpose is mounted upon an arm 17a of usual construction, pivotally connected to a grooved short shaft .17'b of the usual type, and held down by the ,usual spring' 179), andjthen swing up the platen 18 to straighten out the we bs (see Fig. 6 1n said atent), and then, by manipulating the usualP hand1e38,'"push backwardly the carriage -14 which carries the carbons,-so that while all'thesheetslare substantially straight 'being for this off)l advance ,thejlite lto its-gage 25, and t1 forward byimeans of the 'or flat, 'saidgcarjhonsfl 16 will be returned to positions/reu-i'red for writing the succeeding pagel upon the webs. The operator may then 'swing the platenv down to norma-l.positin,' and ,release `the rolls 22', 23 by depressing' thel keyjet, 'and then advance the outer .webfll toal gage 40, to bring it to pcsitionffr severance 4by the, knife 39. rl. `he gage :'40 may. 4he adjusted' to allow for a greater bottom `rniangin, on Vthepage .torn

'afi-oni, 11 than on he page torn from 10. In

fact, the positionof gage A40 may allow for both top and bottom. additionalmargins on 11., Theront rolls 17 are restored and remain' on the paper during the manipulation ofpthe outer Web-l1, butdo not'interere with the adjustment of 11, since they press but lightly, although with suilicien-t force to hold .fthe inner web 10 against accidental displacement during the described 1nanipulation vof webll. The operator may now tear oli' simultaneously '-bothtlie .typed page of the Louter 'web 1l, and also thefcorresponding portion yfof the an-fqldiweb 10,by the use of said knife 39 whichfe'xtends-.along the frontof the platen.

The webs llgand lllfahaving-been Severed ttor -23jremaining cast :ebl 1.1,' if necessary, thefeed rolls 22, 23

rolls may fbe restored and -'t m nextpage may proceed;

It will be understood; that/if vthe pages from the outer web 11 are to. be of the saineV length as those from'the inner web 10, the gages 25 and 40 need not-be used, but that both webs may 'be Set up to the single gage 35 preparatory to tearing oil' the pages, from the webs 'by means of the knife 39.

The .advance of the outer, web 11,' into the niapliine may be.- aided by power derived through" theuweb 10, the latter being drawn y usual connection to the lirici-.feeding mechanism 4ot the typewriter, a part of .which is sen at 45, F ig. 1. he incoming web '1Q Ais pressed 'by a roll 46 against a companion roll 47; said roll 46 purpose mounted uponarms or bail 48, pressedA forwardly by' spring 49, to press the web against the latter the. inner one may be held v.t'ypewriting of. the= y cated.

4the first or advanced cli-ps 62 are released latter is 'confined between the bars of the' supplemental carriage 19 of the typewriter, and so travels to and fro with said carriage in letter-feeding direction. Said roll 47 is connected by a spline 50 to its axle 51, the mounted .in stationary supports 52 upon the main frame. of the typewriting'inachine and having at its end a. pulley 53 connccted by a belt 51 toa pulley 55 upon a shaft 56, by which the supply spool -12 of the single-ply web 11 is rotated, and the web is caused to fall therefrom in a loop?, which loop' is suflicieutly flexible to accommodate the travel of the' table 1Sa and the typewriter carriage 19, while the spool 12 remains stationary. Additional pulleys VA58 and 59 may v lle provided` for varying theV speed of rotation `of tl1e;spool 1:2, when desired. Preferably, the driven pulley shaft 5G carries' a roll 61 which has a contact withthe periphery of the spool 12,1130 drive the same to pay oithe as that at which the web 10 advances; and the belt 54 'may consist of helically-wound wire coils, to make it extensible. A spring (51a may keep the drivin roll 6l in contact with the outer coil of t .latter unwinds; said spring connected to an arm or arms 61h which cariv said roll.

4t will be seen" the outer web constitute separate webs, and by the pressure of the rolls 17, while the outer web is advanced thereovex'. 'It will furtherbe apparent that certain features of the invention are applicable for separate webs whether said webs are single ply, or fan-fold, or otherwise folded. For en ampleytlie machineinay-be web 11 at the saine speed 1e spool 12, asl the en'iploj-'ed for typewriting upon numerous said webs may be advanced to one of said' gages 215, 35, 40, (the rolls 22, 23 being rewebs may be further adjusted to the othe of said gages, in the manner already indi- To avoid n iisalinement of the forms among the various ivebs, due to creeping, the single webs may 'be separately re-gaged preparatory to typing each page or form thereon. The webs may be set one at a time to the adjustable lower gage 35. That is to say, the innermost web may be brought first to the gage 35, and there held 'bj/ the pressure of the rolls l17,'01 said rolls may be cast oil' and the web maybe held by clips 62, one clip upon each side 'of the main collatingl table 63. Then the second web is adjusted to the same gage, and gripped by the other or lternate clips -64 at the sides," whereupon bythe operator; sinc'e the clips G4 will hold both plies. vanced to the same gage 35, and held bythe leased) while one or more of the reinafininff Then -a third web may be' adf yfirstclips 62, after which the clips 64 ,are re leased; and so on, rasingle pair of clips, one at each side of the machine, always suiiicing to hold all of the previously registered webs.

Them'i'f desired, one .or more additional or.

,outer .webs (having long pages thereon) may be adjusted to the top adjustable ge 40, while :the inner webs remain clipp and the same clips' will answer for retaining one or more of the outer webs, if necessary,

during the progress of the collating operation. It will .bessen that by using the gages and clips in this manner, the difficulty heretofore experienced lwith the use of separate v plies pf "..webs which are printed with forms may be avoided, the d iiiiculty -consisting in 4th're creeping lof the webs, d'ue to the rolling of theassembled webs around the revoluble platen; the "outer web always tendi'n to 20 travel more rapidly than the inner we so4 that in time the outer web will creep so far that the 'stration of the form lines on the various we s will be lost. By the present means, theremay be secured rta-registration of the' lines or forms upontlie various single-ply webs preparatory to thewriting of each page, so that-the difficulty due to creep. ing is avoided. Ehe-gage 25' may have a range of adjustment greater than the length 3o -of a printedform, so as to be usable for a top sheet whether the lower sheets are gaged by 39 or..35. After the webs are all set up :to one or both of the gages 35, 25, the feed rollsl 22, 23-may be restored (also the rolls i 85 17 if desired), and the platen knob 65may be turned to roll all the webs backwardly until the edges of the lower webs' iecede -froxn the gage 25 to the upper edgeof the' l'mife'39; whereupon the typing may pro- 40. ceed. But if the top web has been set up to the ga 40there vmay (be provided a line or mareupon said top web, to coincide with the top edges of the bottom webs, so that the 'operator needs only to retractthe webs far 45 enough to bring said line or mark into register with the knife. It will 'be seen, moreover, that at any time, after. typing af page,

the lower single webs one at a time may be adjusted to the knife and torn off accurately,

so that thereafter they will all be sure to be vin proper register when their leadingA edges are adjustedt0 their gage 35.

The details of the preferred forms of cola lating tables 'and gages will be understood A from the drawings; thev table 63 carrying the overlying collating table 25* xed lthere- `on, 25* having downwardly-turned Vside ianges to connect it to-63. Gage 35 is retaned in1 any position by means of a thumb- '60 screw, 6 5, extending down through a narrow slot 66`in the table 63. Gage 25 is retained wherever adjustedl by means of a thumbscrew 67 extending down through the same slot 66; said gage 25 consisting ofa Bange 65 bent down from a top collating table 68.

Upon the under side of 68 is a boss 69 for the thumb-screw 67; said boss passing down "'51"-A through a; .'slot in 25", and also fitting in a. slot ina plate 70 extending up from the gage Y 35. The slots, boss and screw may coperate 70 with the slots to guide the: gages up or down; l, i,

and ge 25 may .be partl guided by ears 71 pendliit. from theopposiste sides thereofto top gage 40 may fbe secured where adjusted, by means of-a set-screw 72, threaded into a l boss 73 formed upon a bridge, 74 which is s. erected, upon the table .68 and crosses'aboveV the plate- 75 from which Said gage 40' rises.A
