  • the knob I08 is turned so as to bring the index 0 (zero) opposite the pointer H3, thus moving the ball I02 to the left until rotation of the knob is arrested by engagement Of the set screw III with the stop projection H5. Movement of the ball I02 to the left will enable the spring I06 to move the snatch roll, the journal portion 80, and the pulley section to the left so as to reduce the width of the V groove in the pulley 89 and-increase the effective diameter at which the belt .68 engages the pulley.
  • the increasing ofvthe effective diameter of the pulley 89 effects a transmission ratio change, reducing the rotative speed of the snatch roll 9.
  • the impulse delivered to the pawl 23 and the associated parts is; relatively small so that the type bar 4 is driven to printing position at such speed as to produce a relatively light typing impact.
  • the knob I08 is turned in the 'opposite direction until the number 20 on the knob registers with the pointer II3.
  • the parts thus moved toward the right include the pulley section 90, which is relatively separated from its companion section 84, thus increasing the width of the pulley groove and reducing the effective diameter at which the belt 88 engages the pulley 69.
  • a driving ratio change is effected, causing the snatch roll 9 to be driven at an increased speed so as to deliver increased impulses to the pawl 23 and operate the type bar 4 with greater force and more impact upon the work sheets.
