IMPROVEMENT IN PRINTERS IMPOSING-T ABLES.
Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 173,738., dated February 22, 1876; application filed January 19, 1876.
To all whom it may concern l V Be it known thatI, JOHN POLHEMUS, of the ei5y, county, andSt-ate .of New York, have invented an Improvement in Printers Imposing- Tables, of-which the following is a specification:
The said improvement isfully illustrated in the accompanying drawings, which form a part of this specification, in whichi Figure 1 is a perspective view, and Fig. 2 a
sectional view, showing thegalley in use.
Heretofore the imposing tables used by printers have consisted of a block of stone or iron mounted upon supporting-legs, and usually surrounded by a frame-work of wood to sustainitin place. Such tables have the iron or stone bed projecting considerably above the frame, ordinarily tothe extent of one-half of an inch, and it has been impossible to transfer a bod-y of composed types from a galley to said table, or vice versa, without seriously disturbing or pying such body of types.
It is the object of my invention to overcome this difficulty, and to so construct an imposingtable that a mass of composed, types may be readily transferred therefrom into a galley, or vice versa, without danger of disturbing their proper relation .to each other as they are arranged in lines and column.
To this end the imposing-table, whether made from iron cast into shape, or from stone cut or otherwise fashioned, is provided all around its border edge with an offset or shoulder, 3, the surface of which is, at a distance below the plane 4 of the imposing-table, equal to the thickness of the bottom plate of an ordinary galley, which shoulder or ledge aflords a seat upon which to rest and support.
the. mouth end of agalley when it is'desired; to transfer a mass of types from it to the ta ble, or vice versa.
* The drawing, in its sectional view, illustrates such a mass of. types in a position where they l are partially supported by the table and partially by the galley. v i i v This provision for facilitating the transfer of composed matter from the galley wherein it is placed as it is emptied from the compos= itors stick to the tablewhere it is imposed and made up into a printing-form is important, since it entirely removes the danger of dropping eitherthe body of types or portions of its lines when the same are picked up and carried to the table by ones hands; and this convenience is equally great in removing a body of types from the table wherethe form is unlocked to the galley where the mass of
