Definitions

  • Fig. 5 graphically illustrates the manner in which, under control of the disc shown in Fig. 4, a stylus defines the letter A on impression receiving material.
  • a web 8 of im- I pression-lreceiving material such as paper
  • the feeding apparatus for which, as is customary, is arranged to feed the paper to successive line positions thereof, the paper being stationary during character-defining operations.
  • a web 9 of transfer media such as a carbon ribbon or the like.
  • the shafts 21 and 27 are rotated simultaneously and in timed relation in order that the movements of guide elements 10 and 11 in directions 23, 24 are effected simultaneously so that the guide elements move the marking ends 3 of the styluses 1 simultaneously in two paths, normal one to the other, as determined by the cam 19 and eccentric 26 so that the marking ends 3 of the styluses each trace out relative to the stationary web 8 a path as indicated by the sloping lines 24a, Fig. 5.
  • the arrangement is such that the reciprocating movements 23 of the first guide element 10 determine the maximum height of a character to be defined by a stylus 1 while the reciprocating movements 24 of the second guide element 11 determine the maximum width of the character.
  • the guide element 10 is making its downward stroke during character definition and at the end of its downward stroke which is a steady movement from top to bottom, as viewed in Fig. 5, the roller 18 drops from the peak of the cam down a step 29 formed thereon so that the return movement is a very quick movement.
  • the quick return movement of guide element 10 is necessitated by the fact that it must be completed during the line-feeding operation of paper 8.
  • One form of statistical machine to which the apparatus may be applied is a tabulating machine, in which instance a stylus 1 may be controlled either directly as a result of the sensing of data from a record, or by a reading-out operation from an accumulator incorporated in the machine.
  • the apparatus may, at some times, be controlled by records, and at other times by a reading-out operation from the accumulator.
