JOHN W. SHIELDS, OF SPRINGFIELD, MASSACHUSETTS.
PRINTER S GALLEY.
Application led February 21, 1921.
To all whom t may concern.'
Be it known that l, JOHN XV. SHInLDs, a citizen of the United States ot America, residing at Springfield, in the county of Hampden -and Commonwealth or" Massachusetts, have invented certain new and useul Improvements in Printers Galleys, ot which the following is a specification.
This invention relates to improvements in printers galleys, which are sometimes termed make-up galleys.
An object of the invention is to provide a graduated attachment for printers galleys, and it has particularly to do with devices for accurately alining the type blocks or type set matter so that each line of the printed page or column will accurately match the other. lt is designed to receive the type blocks produced by linotype machines. It is especially adapted for job and book page work.
A further object is to provide a device in which the adjustable gage bar can be turned end for end, or reversed, in order to vary its posit-ion a distance equal to one pica, instead of two, as will be fully described.
Referring to the drawings which form a part orP the specification,
Figure 1 is a perspective view of the complete galley, showing the base-piece, the space bars, and the adjustable gage bar or block engaging the space bars.
Fig. 2 is an enlarged view of one end of the space bar, showing it in the same position as in Fig. 1, and
Fig. 3 is an enlarged view ot the gage bar or foot stick in a reversed position.
Referring to the drawings in detail: 1 des ignates the base portion of the galley which is preferably formed of finished brass, or any suitable material in use in the printers art. 2 are the side bars which are secured to the oppositely located upturned edges 3 by means of the screws 4t. These bars are formed with the equally spaced notches 5 and projections 6 of suitable depth to receive the projections 7 and notches 8 ot the plates 9 and 10, which are secured to the opposite ends of the gage bar or foot stick 11. The notches and spaces in the side bars .and plates are understood to be one pica in Specification of Letters Patent.

length, or it desired, they may be one halt et a pica, or one twelfth of an inch (nonpareil), so that the graduations are in even picas measured longitudinally of the galley.
It should be noticed that the plates 9 and 10 of the gage bar 11 are formed at one oi" the edges 9 and 10 with a notch 8, and on the opposite edges 92 and 102 with a projection or tooth 7', whereby when the gage bar 11 is turned end tor end, or reversed, the tooth or projection 7 will :tall into the notch 5 (see Fig. 8) and therefore change or cause the bar 11 to move forward a distance equal to one recess or space, which, as shown, is equal to one pica, or one sixth of an inch. Reference to Figs. 2 and 3 shows this interchange of position of the gage bar 11. lt will therefore be seen that this construction permits the bar 11 to be adjusted as inc as one pica in distance from the head piece or bar 1 when making up the galley.
From this construction it will be seen that l have provided a galley structure that perinits very accurate adjustment of the gage bar, whereby accurate alinement ot the type is always attained when making up a book or job print.
By using rectangular shaped recesses and projections in the side bars and plates of the cross bar a very firm and solid structure is secured, and one which will not show wear or get out of alinement for a long time.
That I claim is: A
1. In a printers galley, the combination with a base portion having upturned side members, of graduated bars secured to the side members, a gage bar having notched plates secured to the ends of the same and adapted to engage the graduated bars, the notches in said plates being so arranged that when said bar is reversed its orginal position will be changed a distance equal to one graduation, as described.
2. A printers galley comprising a base piece formed with side portions, graduated bars formed-with rectangular shaped notches and projections of equal longitudinal dimensions, a gage bar having notches and projections of the same dimensions and so arranged with reference to the opposite sides of the gage bar that when it is reversed end for end its original position Will loe changed cured thereto and 'formed With projections in a longitudinal direction equal to one notch and recesses, one edge having a recess and or projection, as described. the other a projection iush With its side, 10 3. A printers galley, comprising in coinwhereby when the gage har is reversed its 5 loination, a hase piece, loars formed With position will be advanced a distance equal rectangular shaped projections and recesses to that of one notch or projection. of equal dimensions, a gage bar, plates se- JOHN W.
