To all whom t may concern.'

Be it known that I JOHN WAIDHEIM, a citizen of the United States, residi in Elizabeth, in the county of Union and tate of New Jersey, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in 'Iypewriting- There is employed a set of column-selecting keys and a set of denomination-selecting keys. A column-selecting key is operated andvheld while the selected denomination-key is also depressed. The denomina- Ation-key controls a stop that is to'be enaged by a column-stop on the: carriage. he selected.denomination-stop, however, is not moved at once into the path of the column-stop, but, when the selectedcolumn is reached, part of the column-stop causes a device (which is settable by .the column-4 `selecting keys), to move the selected denomination-,stop into the path of the column-V stop, thereby arresting the carriage. The column-stops have projections, at vdifferent positions lengthwise thereof, 'arranged to engage sooner or later with the controlling device of the column-selecting` mechanism. To 'effect backward tabulating, there is provided a reverse-feed-c leterminingr .device which is 'fed step by step'into eilective relation with devices or interponents-associated with the'column-selecting keys, esthecarriage vacates the clumnscorre'spondng to said keys. When a column-keyof a vacated column is'operated, the associated in-.;

" its proper position;

terponent starts a motorand the, denom nation-key is then operated. f

The carriage-returning motor, mayjlev in -circuit` with a switch, the'lattrfbeingclosed when any one of -the denomination-selec@ returned toiavacatedcolumn, the reversekey, but1the motor-starting meansdoesimt `returnftc normal position, nor open the switch? r'or stop the carriage-prematurely.

To prevent this, provision is made wherebyv the motor-starting means becomes connected with any one of the denomination-selecting keys upon its depression, to keep the switch closed until the depressed denomination-se lectng key is restored.

No thought on the part of the typist is 'required'as to whether a forward or backward tabulation is to be eilected; but thel parts are always in position to automatically 66'V determine the direction in which the car-.

riage should move. Y For example, if the carriage is at the beginning of a writing line, and it is desired to tabulate to the first, second or third column, the column- 7D of the desired column is deselector-ke pressed. he reverse-feed-determinin device is at this time out of range of the lnteronents4 associated with the column-selectoreys. Conse uently, key will be e ective only to'set the columndetermining device, whereupon the desired denomination-selecting key. may beoperated to effect the release of the carriage b' moving the usual feed-rack-out of mes with the escapement pinion.` When the car.- riage is in' a position of the third column, past the printing point, the reverse-feeddetermining device is in range-of the interponents' associated with the -column-ke s of 85 key after the carrie.

Vtheiiotor by a sidewise movement of thel` y {counter-stops, which'occurs when a column" ing keys is depressed. Asthe carriage is'l stc strikes anl operated countepswm coluinriselectiilg'4 keyinVA its depressed key is heldir its operated positionfso as to avoid the"ret'11 rn' ofithe column-selecting I, nechanisrn to normal position,lwhich might the 1 column-selecting 75 motolsstartingy osition, whereupon'o' 'inst burn-l 95.` ing out of t e carriage-return motor, which might be caused by repeatedly depressing@ 1 has been turre'sted,in Q' o do this, anaixilia' switch is providedin the motor-circliit'an 1111iv "is so 'placed that'it may be openedto'stop` ans vbe provideizto lock ithe oper- 105` showing the "It" otherwise result from the premature release of the colunin-selector-key during forward or backward tabulating. For this purpose. there may be provided aV normally ineffective uniersal bar to be operated by the depression of any one of the denominationselecting keys, to lock the operated columnselecting key in its operated position until the denomination-selecting key returns to its normal position. A

The denomination-selecting mechanism may he used independently of the columnselecting mechanism for tabulating the carriage to consecutive columns. `When .so used, the counter-stops are moved directly into the path of the column-stops by the depression of the denomination-selecting,r keys, and :it the same time effect the re! lease of the carriage.

Other features and advantages will hereinafter appear.

The invention is herein shown as applied to an Underwood typewriting machine1 in which type-keys 15. when depressed`r swing key-levers 16 to operate bell-cranks 1T to swing the type-bars 18 `about their pivots :2U to printfagainst the front side of a platen 21. rFhe platen may be rotatably mounted in a carriage 22, which may be fed step by step. from rightto left, by a spring-drum 23 conneeted to the carriage by a strap 24 to feed the carriage step by step during the operation o the type-bars.

To -e'ect the step-hy-.step movement ol the carriage, there is provided carriage4 eseapement mechanism, comprising a dogrocker 25, having n fixed dog 26 and a loose dog QTthereon, which are caused to reciprocate at each type-stroke betweenteeth 28 of au eseapenient-wheel 30. Theescapement wheel 30 has the -usual one-way driving pawl'connect-ion 29 with a pinion 31, the latter nieshing with a feedv rack 32. pivoted on The dogrocker is reciprocated by means including a curved universal bur 34, which is operated by heels on the type-bars 18. to swing the upper end 0f the dog-rocker 25 rearwardly, by a cross-bar 'gand againstthe tension of the usual return-spring (not shown). The carriage may travel back and forth-on

guiderails

37 and 38, locatedat the front und the rear of the murlrine and secured to a main frame 401 The carriage may be tabulated forwardly to any denomination position in :i selected column. For this purpose, there ,may he providedv a set of column-sel tor-keys 41 and a set of decimal-tabulator or denomina- .tion-selecting keys 42. When the carriage 1s in its extreme right-hand position and it is desired to tabulate to hundreds position in the third column, the 3 column-key is depressed (Figure 8), to swing a column-keyever 43 about a fulcrum-rod 44 carried by a tabulator-bracket 45. Each column-selectorkey-lever 43 is provided at its rear end with a cam 46 to engage s. cross-bar 4Lcarried by a columnlselector-frame 48, cov,I prising a. rock-shaft 50, pivotally mounted in the tab-l ulator-bracket 45. The cams 46are of different inclinations to swing the 4frame 48 more orf less, according to the columnselector-key operated. When said frame 48 1 1s operated', an upwardly-extending arm 51 thereof is moved forwardly to puslialink 52 to set a column-determining device 53 (Figure 8) into the path of a projection 54 on a column-stop 55, to determine at which column the carriage should be arrested; the column-stops being adustable to columnar positions of the carriage on a stop-bar 56, secured tothe carriage, and the stop-bar having slots 57 to receive the colun'iii-stops.

The 100 decimal-tabulatoq-key is then depressed to swing an associated lever 58 about the fulcrm-rod 44 to raise its rear end 60 and move a plunger 61 one for each key 42) upwardly against the tension of a return-spring 62, to connect it with a crossbar 63 of an operating frame 64, the crossbar 63 fitting into a slot 65 of the plunger 61, as seen in Figure 8. This movement of the plunger 61 is also effective to release ,the carriage. For this purpose, each-plunger is provided with a projection 66 toA operate a universal bar 67, secured to a shaft-68, to rock the latter and pull a link 70, connected to an'arm 71 on said rock-shaft 68, downwardly and swing a release-lever 72 about its pivot 73, to swing the feed-rack 32 about its -pivot 33 and against the tension o f a spring 4, to raise the feed-rackout ofmesh with the escapement-pinion 31.

Th(` upper ends of the vided with counter-stops 75 tonico-operate with the column-stops 55. It willA be understood, when the arts are set'l n position (Figure 8), that, alnthou h the cariage is released, the counter-stop 5 remains out of the path of the column-stop 55 until ,I .he carri e enters the selected column (oolumn 3). T e projection 54 on the 3 column-stop engages a cam 76 (Figures 4 and 5) on the columndeterminingdevice ,53, Ito movethe latter upwardly to swi 4the operating frame 64 about its pivo 77, to move the connected plunger 61, to ring the counter-sto 75 into the path of the3 column-stop be t e'crossbar 63 (Figure 9). The movement of the counter-stop 75 into the path of tHe columnstop 55 may he a swinging movement about plungers l1 :ire pro-,

a pivot 79 and may occur one or more letterspaces before the column-stop of the selected column comes into range of the counter-stop of highest denomination order. The carriage 22 continues to run until i`t is arrested by the operated counter-stop 75, associated with the 100 decimal-tabulator-key, Figure 10. i

The operating frame 64 (Figures 1 and 5) comprises rock-shaft 78, pivotally supported in the tabulator-bracket 45, said rock-shaft havingtwo forwardl -projec'ting arms 80, upon which the settab e column-determining device 53 is pivotal] supported at 81: The operating frame xrther comprises two downwardly-projecting arms 82, joined by ,the cross-bar 63 which engages vin'the slots 65 of the plungers 61 as they are rendered eiective bythe denomination-selector-keys 42 After the carriage has been locatedin Vthe denominational position of the .selected column, as above described, the t ist'lremoves the fingers from the o Yrate and 42, the spring. 62, whic is diagonally disposed, being eii'ective to restore the denomination-selecting key 42 by movin the plunger 61 downwardly an rearward? to its normal position, where it is a by the pivot or fzilcrum-rod 79 and a cross-bar 79, respectively." -Upon'the return of the Aplunger 61, the feed-rack 32 re-engages the escapement-pinion 31, the bar 67 following the projection or :engaging portion 66 of the plunger 6,1 (due to the return-spring 74 of the-feed-rack until the universal release-bar is a y a. stoppin 83' on the tabulator-bracket 45. A .spring 84' returns thel column-selector-key 41, whereupon the column-selector-frame 48 is returnedby a spring 85, said Afissure-being arrested in its normal posltion by' the crossbar 47 thereof engaging with projections 86- ion the column-selector-key-levers43.: The column-determining device is, swung back 'to its normal position by theV links 52, connect ed to the arm 451 of the column-selectorframe 48, and moves out of engagement with the projection 54 of the column-stop', thus permitting the operating frame 64 to be returned by the 'spring 7. f

The column-selectorreflections-54' ofA the column-stops are provid with cam-faces 89, so that, if the column-determining device`53 should be operatedl while the carriage is in a eolumnin other/"words, if the carringe should be tabulated/from a, position vwithin u column, the column-determining device will lift itself over the projection on the column-stop in said column, and into the path of projection 54 of.the selected column-stop., f A f Every time the carriage vaca-tes a column while it is moving iri a, letter-feed direction, or, in other words, forwardly, a reverse-feedkeys 41 iool llO

determining device 88, located al; the rear :ind lower'pzirtof the machine-fmme 40 (Figure 1)` is moved into effective relation with :in intermediate device or interpellent. llll, nssocinteil with the column-Selectoldeys of the vacated column7 in preparation for hueletnhulzitin;r of the carriage, hereinafter described, there being one interponen't, for euch colnmn-selector-liey. To set the revciSc-feed-determining device 88, which may he done mitonuiticully, each .column-stop 55 ou the carriage may be provided with a projection 91. to opel-nte a star-wheel 92 (Figures 1 und 10)` secured to the upper end of' :i verticiii shaft 93, which muy be Supported :it its upper end h v :i bracket 94 on a. front plnte SL' of the tahnlator-brncket 45, and at. its lower end by n bracket 96 on the machinefrnme 40. The shaft 113 is rotated a fraction of :i revolution whenever a column-stop passes the stm-wheel 92. the shaft, being pr0- vided :it its lower end with a. gear-wheel 97 (Figures 1. 3 :ind 11) meshing with a. ruck 5IN on the reversefeed-determining device SS, to more :in obstrncLon thereon in the fonn of n ledge 100 int effective relation with the interponents 90. The reverse-feeddetermining device muy be in the nature of :i slide lguided in brackets 101, secured to the uuu-liine-frmne. detent-spring 102 is provided to engnge in notches 103 to hold the reveise-feed-determining device in any` position it muy be moved to. i

To prevent the column-Stops 55 from being displaced on thcl stop-bar 50, which muy otherwise occur when theil" projections 91 engage with`the stair-wheel 92, there is provided locking har 99 (Figures 1, 4 und 5), slidnbh7 mounted on the stop-bnr 56 to nnloclr the column-stops` so that they may be removed from the stop-bnr, prior to :i remljustment ot' the colnmn-stops.

When the cnrringe is intits extreme righthzind position` the reverse-feed determining device HH occupies the position in Figure 2 .litter the cui-ringe hns passed the first and .second columns (Figure l0). the reversefccd-lletern'iining device will hnve been fed rightwiirdly from the position in Figure 1, to bring the ledge thereof into effective mlntion with the interponents 90 :issociuted with the "l" and 2 eolnnnrselcctorkers 41.

lf it should he desire-d to tabulate, the cnrringe to n vnciited column, for example bo column 1 from column il (Figures 10 :1nd 1l). which requiresv n backward movement of thiI carriage. the 1" eolumu-selector-lrey -11 is depressi-d. (Figure l2), to operate the frnme 1H nud set the column-determining device fill in '.1 mnnner similar to that hereinA lwl'ore described, to lu-iliirr said device into thc polli ol the projection 51 on the 1.a column-stop :'ii. When the 1" rolumndiey is depressed` the :issocinted interponent I0,

which may be pivoted thereon at. 104, is operated. due to an arm 105 of the interponent engaging with the ledge 100 of the reversefeed-determining device 88. The interponenl; 90 is moved against the tension of a spring 106, and isprovided with a downwardly-projecting arm 107, which normally engages :i stop-pin 108 oni the column-selector-lever 43. The arm, when operated,

moves a frame comprising a eros-bar 110 and enddmrs 111 against a return-spring 112, to swing :i motor-starting universal bar 11H. underlying -the denomination-selecting key-levers 58, to :in etl'ective position, where it may he operated h v the depression of the d enoniinzitionselecting-keys 42 to render ell'ective the 4enrrizigefreverse-feeding mea comprising :i motor 114 (Figure to return the typewriter carriage.

" The motor-starting universal bar 113 normally occupies the position in Figures 1 and 2. where it registers with cut-outs 115 of the denomination-selecting key-levers 58, so that the lutter may heedepressed during a. forward-tahulating operation 0f `the carriage. without operating said inotorstarting;r universal liar (Figure 8). 'hen the latteris mved forwardly, preliminary to :i haelr-tnbnhiting operation `of the carriage, it is swung about pivots 116 o'n arms 117 projecting forwardly from u rock-Shaft 118, to move the universal bar out of register i with the cut-outs 115 (Figure 12). 1f a denoniination-selectingkey 41 is now depressed. the universal bar 113 is moved downwardly to rock the shaft 118 by means of thiI arms 11i'. The rock-shaft 118 is provided ut one end thereofiwith a forwardly extending nrm '120, which is held against :i stop-pin 121 by a springr 122 connected to siiid arm to return the universal bar 113 to its upper lposition. The arm is provided with u yielding finger 123,` `which may he in the mitm-e of u` leaf-spring engaging with :i pivoted member 124 of n m0t0rswitch 1125 mounted on the main frame 40 :ind suitnhlv insulated therefrom to close said switch. the hitter hein; r connected in the motor-circuit. comprising conductors 126 und 12T. Current may he `supplied by any suitable menus such :is n buttery 12T" having dillereint sections ot' conductor 12T connected with the opposite poles thereof. Y

The motor 111 muy he like tluit disclosed in the potent to Kupetz` No. 1.180.516. of .lune (3. 1910. und is herein diagrnnuniiticnlly illustrutcd (Figure i). Suid mothfr nnrv lic loculi-il nt the right-hund side of the nnlin trame 1l! und comprises :1 shaft 128, hnviu; r n drum llll thereon. which` when the motor is stnrtcd. winds up :l strap lill Juiiled verticnll)A :ind then horizontnlly :ind connected to :i linlc 1312 to opel-nte the ilsuul line-sparc meclninisni comprising u handle` liil tn linespnce the platen 21 und return the carriage to the selected position. lt should he understood that during the return movement of the carri-a e the effective counter-stop remains out o the path of the 5 column-stops until the projection 54 of the column-stop of the selected column engages a cam 134 on the left-hand side of the columndetermining member 53 (Figures 4 and 5), to lift the latter to swing the operating frame 64 and project the effective counterstop into the path of the column-sto to arrest the carriage in the predetermine position. A

The counter-sto 75 are thicker at 135 (Figures 5 and 10 to correspond to letterspnce distances on the carriage. They may be u rged leftwardly (Figure 4), by a springressed plunger 136 contained within a A lliousing 137 on the tabulator-bracket 45, and plleld against the end of a slotv 138, formed the front plate 95 of the tabulator-bracket. i' The slot 138 is wide enough bo permit a. lateral movement of the engaged oounter -stop VJand of the counter-stops tothe right ztheref against the spring-pressed plunger 136, to permit the carriage to be roperly located 1n a letter-space position uring a rearward tabulating operation; the counterstops being en aged by the column-stops tegen, the left-han face or opposite side when *erhaelt tabulating.

.Provision is made to automaticall open st'ne motor-circuit when the carriage 1s back 'tabulated. to prevent the burning out of the 5 '|notor, which may otherwise result from .,'carclcssnrss ofthe typist in retaining the de- 1nominationselecting key 42 depressed after the carriage is arrested at the selected (position. For this purpose, there is provi ed a stopping means for said motor, which nia comprise an auxiliar switch 139 (Figure4 mounted on the talulator-bracket and suitably insulated therefrom. Theiauxiliary switch comprises a pivoted member' 139", which may be operated a ain'stfa;

spring 139h to open the switch 13 the sidewise movement ofthe plungers 61 xvlicln effected by the carriage throng ithle colf umn-step .55, thus opening the' circuit/bo stop the motor. J '/"z".

lt will be understood that if a columnselecting key of a column which the carriage has not yet entered is depressed, the interponent 9H i moved up idly by the column- :wlcctordony-lever 43 (Figure 8), thus leaving the motor-starting univelsal bar 113 in its inutil-ulinposition; and consequently a forward tabulation of the carriage is eected upon thel depression of one of the denominaliomselectorlzeys"43.

To permity the column-selecting keys to be operated for fo'rward tnbulatingof the carriage without interfering with the motorstarting universal bar 113, theV latter has a series of cut-outs 140, into'which the columnselecting-key-levers 43 may move, when depressed.

It is desirable to render the carriagereleasing mechanism ineffective, so as to keep the feed-rack 32 in engagement with the escapement-pinion 31, during a backwardtabulating operation of the carriage. To do this, the interponents 90, associated with the oolumnselecting key-levers 43, are each provided with anupwardly-project` arm 141, which engages an extension 142 o the universal bar 67, to move the latter rearwardly to cut-outs 143 in the lungers 61 (Figure 13), and out of effective relation with the projections 66 of said plungers, so that the plungers may be operated without effecting the operation of the release-bar, thus leaving 'the feed-rack 32 in mesh the pinion 31. Therelease-bar 67 may be returned Vby means comprising forked arms 144, extending upwardly from, and secured to, a rockshaft 145, pivotally supported in brackets 146 on the machine frame 40; the arms 144 embracin the rock-shaft 68 to which the universalar 67 is secured. The rock-shaft68 may be4 guided in slots 146 of arms 146", extending from the tabulatorbracket 45. A return-spring 147 is provided to restore the release-basto its effective position.

AIt should fbe4 understood 4that the means to render the carriage-releasing' means nelfeetivecould .be used effectively without the. carriage-reversing means, in which case, if the operator selected a position'which required aifebirward. movement of the carri'age, t e latter wonldnot bereversed, but would ply remain unmoved, thus notigc;

lng the operator .that the carriage `s to Y moved rearwardly,

which may be done by hand; the carriagebeing arrested by stops, as above described.

tivel'y to the counter-stops 75, so as to be operated each time the carriage moves forwardly from the counter-stop 75 correspondirg to the lowest denominational position o a column, or, in other words, each time the last fdigit is typed in a column. Thus, the carriage moves the ledge 100 of the ref versef-feed-determining device 88 v into ef- 4'f ective relation with the interponent 90 assocated. with the column-selecting key of tho vacated column, the interponent 90 being at this time in its normal position, and consequentl the columnlselecting key is rendered e active for back-tabulatng- During a back-tabulating operation of the carriage, the star-'wheel is'operated as .the carriage re-enters a vacated column, -thus shifting the reverse'feed-determining device with The star-wheel 92 may be located nelato move the ledge 100 thereof out of effective relation with the interponent 90 of the celumn-selectorkey corresponding to the reentered column, consequently. rendering said column-selector-key effective for forward tabulating of the carriage.

Each denominationselector-key-lever 58 is provided with a projection 148, which moves down in back of the motor-starting universal bar 113 (Figure 13), when the latter is in its effective position,4 so as to prevent its return and a' conseuent opening of the switch 125, when the le ge 100 moves out of engagement with the interponent 90 of the operated column-seleetor-key, which takes place rior to the arresting of the carriage in tlie selected position in a back tabulation of the carriage.

The strap or band 131 may be connected directly to the carriage 22, By connecting it -to the line-space handle` however, as previously described, the platen may be automatically line-spaced d .uring the backward-tabulating operation of the carriage, thus eliminating the necessity of the typist to operate the line-space handle prior to making an entry.'v yThis is of espeeial ad vantage when typing a single column of numbers. The star-wheel 92, it will be remembered, is so positioned to be operated to set the reverse-feed-determining device into effective relation with the column-selector-key of the vacated column, after the last digit is typed. Consequently, if said column-selecting-kcy is operated, the carriage is returned and the platen line-spaced upon thedepression ofthe denominationselector-key ofthe predetermined position.

Mechanism is provided to prevent a premature return of the column'selecting mechanism which would otherwise result if the ty ist released 'the operated column-se- 1ectorey before the operated denomination- .selectingemechanism, in which case the latter would ineffective to arrest the carriage. For this purpose, interlocking means is provided which may comprise n universal bar 150 pivotally supported at 151 on fixed brackets 152. The universal bar may extend crosswise of the connections comprising the key-levers 58 of the denomination-selecting fso mechanism, so as to be operated by any one of said key-levers to swing a cross-bar 153, which may be part of the universal bar 1 50, into holding,r relation with a hook-like projection 154 on the operated column-selecting connection oi" key-lever 43; the columnselecting-key-lever 43 being operated prior to the denomination-selectiiig-key-lever as previously described. The hook-like projections 154, of which there is oned for each column-selecting-key-lever 43, may be pivot- Ved at 155 thereon and held in their normal positions against stop-pins 156 by :springs 157. Therprojections 154 rest against the cross-bar 153, as n Figure 1 and hold the universal bar. in its normal position. Consequntly, when the universal bar 150 is op elated. it Brisas all 'the proiecbiols V154.

against the tension of the springs 157, except the projection of the operated columnselecting-key1ever 58, over which the locking bar or cross-bar 153 moves. Thus, it will be seen (Figures 8 and 13) that the typist may remove the fin er from the columnselecting key 4l, andry holding the denomination-selecting key 12 operated, the column-selecting key 41 cannot return; consequently preventing a premature return of the column-selecting mechanism including the column-selecting frame 48 and the associated parts. The universal bar may he provided with notches 158 `i`n register with the coliunn-sclecting-key-levers 43 to -permit their depression without interfering with said universal bar.

It will be understood that the interlocking means between the column-selecting mechamsm and the denomination-selecting mechanisln is equally effective during backward tabulating of the carriage, and that, since the column-selectin key is held in its opof the column-stop 55.' This is caused y a a cross-bar 160 of an obstructing frame 161, normally held in position (Figures 1 and 5) by the column-selecting frame 48; there being, for this purpose, an extension 16'2 on the upwardly rojectingl arm 51 of the column-selector 'rame 48, the extension engaging a rearwardl -extendingr arm 163 of the obstructing fra e 161. Each plunger 61 has a cam 160'L thereon'to en age the bar 160 on the upward movement o the plunger to move the counter-stop 75 into the path of the column-stop 55 (Figure 6), the release 'of the carriage being e ectedv at the same time by the universal bat' 67, as hereinbefore described, so that it may be moved to the selected'position where it is arrested by a column-stop coming into engagement with the projected counter-stop.

The cross-'bar or universal bar 63 ofthe tounter-stop-operating` .frame 64 is -moved` forwardly by the operated plunger 61, and

may lock the rest of the plungers against operation by moving over shoulders 164 on the plungers. 1

It will further be understood, althoughthe denomination-selecting keys 42- are norwally effective toprojectihe e9miter-sli-.ops14 isb 75 into the path of the column-stops 55, that, as soon as a column-selecting key 41.is operated, the denomination-selecting keys are rendered ineffective to project their associated counter-stops, this being due to the fact that the guide-bar 160 is unlocked by the column-selecting frame 48; the projection 162 thereon moving out of engagement with the arm 163 of said guide-bar; consequently the guide-bar moves idly upward when one of the pll ers 61-is operated b'y its associated key 42. The backward pull of the return-spring 62 is great enough to hold the counter-sto s from moving outwardly; thus the denomination-selecting keys are ineffective to move the counter-stops into `the path of the column-stops after a column-selecting key is operated, the denominationselecting keys being effective to cause the carriage to project the Acounter-stops through the medium of the column-determining device 53 and the operating frame 64.

The invention may also be used to rapidly position the carriage when typing the date, name and address of a letter. To do this, the column-stops 55 may be set at positions corresponding to the date, name, street and city. The 4 column-selector-key may then be depressed, and the denominationselector-key of lowest order (which may be the units key) lmay be operated, whereupon the carriage is tabulated forward] or backwardly, according to the position from which it isvto be moved, to the date fosition. After the date is typed, the l co u mn-selector-key is depressed andthe units denomination-selecting key operated to start the carriage-motor to line-space the platen and return the carriage until it is arrested in the name osition. If the name, street and city shou d appear in stepped relation, the 2 ,and .3 column-selecting keys may be operated successively with the unitlh denomination-selecting key in 'a similar manner to so position the carriage. The carriage may be returned to the beginn` of -a paragraph in a similar manner b rst operating a column-selecting key an `then depressing the denomination-selectin key.

Variations may bel resorted to within the scope of the invention, and portions of the improvements may be used without others.
