MACHINE FOR DISTRIBUTING AND SETTING UP TYPE Specification of Letters Patent No. 3,297, dated September 9, 1843.

that the following is a full and exact description thereof.

My improvements in arranging: and setting up types for printing consist in the construction and employment oi peculiar conr 16 binations of mechanism hereafter explained.

the first of which is for arranging tlnr types. that is, performing that operation commonly called tllSt-t'llflltillfi them in a poruliar manner so that they are arrangzjetl for 20 the 'serond operation the auroral letters of any ('oinposition" at'ter they have been used for printing are separated and arranged arrording to their several rhararters in distinct columns, ready tuninscl'tlon into the necoud or composing or setting: up conihination of mechanism or machine. whi h second machine is also peculiarly onstructed at will be hereinafter explained constitutes my second imyn-orenient and by means of these ilnprorcments the several types are first. arranged and then selected and brought into lines ton-min; \\'ul'tl and sentences.

ln the iu-compan xing draanu Figure l.

represents a side elm-Minn of the arranging or distributing machine. Fig. 2 an end cle\ation of the same. and l iguil a partial horizontal view as 1-;tt'li from tlllUYk'. the atandards and framework .\lll l)(ll'l.lllfl 40 the liittlltllllhlll. l is the main horizontal rotary sha't't carrying a pulley from whence (passing over guide pulleys l) 1)) an endless band is conducted up to a pulley E upon the end of another horizontal shaft E F in front of the machine and by means of whi h endless band that shaft is made to revolve. Rotary motion may be given to'tho main shaft I: by a winch or other means and there is a fly wheel (it fixed upon the main 5o shaft for' regulatiug the motions. Fig. l is a horizontal representation of a portion of the top of the machine as shown in Fig. 3, but drawn'upon an enlarged scale (that is full size) exhibiting the principal working parts. Fig. 5 15 a View of part of the front.

. of the machine as at Fig. 2, but also drawn full size. Fig. 6 represents in vertical section a portion of the machine near the pulley 1 in Fig. 1 likewise drawn full size, and Fig. 7 is an elevation of the back part. of what I denominate the sliding frame seen extending horizontally upon thetop of the machine at H H H in Figs. 1,--2, 4 and 3.

in order to arrange or distribute, that. is, select the types and plat-e all those of one letter or character in a distinct, column or row in its own partirular groove of the hori zontal plate shown at l l I in Figs. 3 and 4 I bring a page or other convenient quantity of the types or matter from the printing press in a galle and place that galley in the machine as at K in Figs. 2 and 3. This galley is supported by a-bracket Let the left hand side of the machine and is made fast thereto by a pin passed through an ear lixed to the under part of the galley. A small sliding piece or block a. is brought up by hand against the end of the page of types for the purpose of keping the types together and forcing them forward. At the front rnd t the galley there is atlixed an upright piece 0 in which a sliding plate (7 works vertically; the under edge of this sliding plate is covered with leather or some other soft substance to prevent it from injuriim the types. The end of the galley is shown in the two detached Figs. 8 and 9. with a portion of the apparattm called the sliding frame It beneath. Fig. 8 being a front view of the upright I) and Fig. 5) a longitudinal section of the same. a portion of the page. of typos to be distributed is represented at (I in Fig. 5? and in Figs. 2 and 3. These types stand in line as when in use on the table 01 the printing press they are to be slidden forward in the galley hy l'iushing up the block a in order to bring; the lines of types in succession over a long slot or opening I (see Fig. 9) which opening is cut arr the bottom of the galley at its end at which tinie the slider 1.." must be raised as in Figs. Sand tended to be slidden down them.

the box N affixed to the side of the/slidingframe 11.

ing the chain y will be made to carry the pusher f forward and to force the Hence it will be. perceived that by the power of the spring continually art is un against a stop plate /b at the red ht tha groove of the sliding frame ii. he first type in the line will thus bola-ought innuediately over one of the apertures i, i, 1 Figs. 3 and 4 formed by vertical grooves in the face of a horizontal plate P l I fixed upon standards A: and extending across the machine transversely over the front part of the grooved plate I. This plate P has two rebated ledges Z, Z, forming a groove in which the carriage m, m, of the frame ll containing the line of types may be slidden to and fro across the machine; For the convenience ofnioving this sliding frame it on the plate P a handleQ is affixed to the. carriage by which the workman shifts laterally the position of the sliding frame for the purpose of bringing the front type of the line held in the groove over any one of the apertures i as may be required. The form of these verticalgrooves i, i, i, are partially seen exposed to view in the perpendicular face or front of the plate P at Fig. The:

areunade wide at top to admit the type freely but contracted toward the lower part to n arly the size of the type in order to conduct it accurately to the. bottom of the groove and these grooves are severally cut to different depths according to'the. thick ness of the bodies of the respective types iu The grooves 11 are covered except at their lower parts by a face plate n, a, as shown in Figs. 2 and 5. The shaft F is mounted in brackets allixed to the vertical part or front edge of the plate I and carries a series of cams or eccentrics p p p best seen in Figs. 5 and 6 a different construction of which is shown at Fig. 6* each of these can'is'works in the lower or open part of one of the vertical grooves a, i, for the purpose of pushing back any type that. may have passed down. its groove and for forcing the type into the horizontal groove of the plate I which will be best seen in Fig. t and in the detached section Fig. 6.

' In front of the machine a semicylindrical bar R R is affixed which carries the 'axle of a series of bent levers or keys 9, q, 7, each of which keys has reference to a certain'letter or type as marked thereon in Figs..3 and l:

and a rack or notches cut in the said bar forms the guides in which these levers or keys work. On the side near the end of the carriage m of the sliding frame a piece 1", is affixed having a perpendicular descending arm "and to the frontend of this piece against the descending arm is appended a bent lever 8 hanging upon a fulcrum pin in sci-ted therein as seen best in Fig. 5.* To the upper end of this bent lever a rod t, is attached to a jointand the reverse end of this rod 2 is connected in a similar way to a horizontal/slider 'u acting at the back of the stop plate 71. as seen in Fig. 4. A little in ad vance of the piece 1', there is also affixed to the. carriage m, a stud upon which is mounted a bait lever v The end of this lever w,

y as the carriage m, m, slides to and fro in the.

groove of the plate I 1, works upon the upper edge of an indented Mb 10, iv, extended along the plate. This rib w, is formed on its upper edge with certainelevations corresponding in height to the thickness of the bodies of the respective types to which such elevations relate and theend of the said lever o, acts upward against the tail of a crank lever a. mounted upon a stud fixed in the side of the carriage m, as seen in Figs.'

.4 and 7. The vertical arm of this crank lever a", is connected by a joint pin to a rod 3 whichrml at its reverse end is in like manuer attached to a slider as seen in Figs. 4 and 7.

far-t it now be supposed that a line 0 types has been forced down from the end of: he gallay K by the depression of the slider a as described above and that the said line of types I is situate in the groove of the sliding frame H as shown in Fig. 4, the Workman reads the line of types so situate and finding the first type of the line to be the letter (h) be applies a finger of his left hand under the lover or key marked (/i) and lifts that key as shown in Fig. 4 by doing which the upper part of the lever comes against the face plate a and forms a stop to the sliding frame H. The right hand of the workman having hold of the handle now slides the carriage. and frame H toward the left until the vertical part of the piece 1 strikes.

groove of the ,frame the a recess (must 1 be formed to receive it and this is done by the end of the lever '22 having passed onto an elefore this type can be so detached from thevation of the rihae which has raised it and thereby lifted the crank lever a and drawn back the slider to such a distance as shall leave a. sufficient recess for the body of the type to be passed into the capacity of this recess depending upon the height of that part of the rib w whichis here act ng upon the lever 2* and'this is so formed as to correspond in its height to the. thickness of the particular type or letter to which it belongs. The type Luna brought into the situation described now :-li(l(*5 (town the vertical groove 2' in the face of the plat I and is conducted in an ereet position to the bottom of the groove as described and shown in Fig. 5. While this is going oil the shaft F is kept constantly revolving by the means before explained and the cam or eccentric p coming around forces the type back from the vertical groove 5 into the horizontal groove of the plate I I. Supposing the next letter of the line of types to be (0) the workman having slidtlen back the carriage and frame H toward the right now lifts the key (0) and brings" the piece 2' as before up a; the stop when the type is in the same way delivered into one of the vertical grooves i and then by its rotary can: pushed back into its horizontal groove in the plate I. By these means all the types of the line are in suc- ('L'SslOIl brought up and stopped. by the key answering to its letter or character and thus the letters of the same character are successively distributed and intrmluretl into their own proper groove in the horizontal plate and by that means are arrangerl in columns ready to be plartal in the composing machine and to be operutetl upon in the manner about to be explained;

It is only necessary further to say that on ii'ieerting every fresh line of types into the groove of the sliding frame H the pusher must be brought back which will wind the eonvolute spring in the box up to tension anal thereby the spring will possess the power of turning the pulley and working the ehain so as to force the pusher forward and keep the types up against the stop plate b as long as any remain in the groove of the slide.

The machine for composing. that is set tine up types in the order of \\'Ul(i\ lines and pa es, is shown in the followinge figures of the t rawings. Fig. 10 is a front eletziioi' of the maehine complete and in working ortler. Fig. 11 is an elevation of the same as i! would appear if vietvetl at the left hand end of the machine. Fig. 1;- is a horizontal view of the same as seen from above, a portion of the mixer being removed for the pur pose of exps'iuing parts of the \vorlte beneath. Fig. l; a vcrtir l :et 'tilOit taken longitudirally throogh about the middle of the one whine on the tlott: line l. ll of Fig. 1'2 par-- :sliel to the fr nt mot Fig H is a vertical wt'tiru taken tro enwly n the line C. i) of thrsame thgurt 'l i'o t'rauiework ot' the unuhine is reprewnuai at .t A upon whit-h are fixed two itn 'i}' /llt1li wtatulurtln ll ll illltl upon th se -.it'.-=n;* two parallel longitudinal we t placed why-wise with their up 3 hr trainings rarrvine' a horizontal long 13; bar I) having a groove along the middle of its upper SHlfW'iin which groove the types are elitlden when the machinery is in operation. On the upper (*tlgQfi; of this bar D two flat longitudinal plates 0, a are aitixed which carry the two upright rack frames b, b that-contain the types intended to be operated upon. These types are arranged in vertical columns eac eompartment of the rack being respectively filled with a column of types of a certain letter or eharacter the columns of types descending by their own gravity as the single types are severally driven out of the column at its lower and 'by the operations of the maehinery lbout to be explained.

rack. frames 1). b are formed by a series 0i upright grooved rails seen le-- tached on an enlarged'seale in Figs. 24. 2.) and 26. Fig. 24 is a view of the top of one of these grooved rails. Fig-25 is a side view; and Fig. 26 is a view of the bottom end. Upon referring to Fig. 13, it will be seen that a space about the thickness and length of the type in each column is cut away at the bottom of the grooves formed by tin-rails I' I in order to allow the types to be pushed exit onto the endless belt or ehain. The height of these spaces in the grooves muet i'otl'tu-ipontl with the lllltlllltfih of Pttt'll type so that not more than pne type may be pushe l out of the column at n" time.

'llii :iiilnll'iilllfi wnsists of a dial plate 11 .een in iront of the machine in Fig. .10 (isnundiutelr under the restv frame L on 'l'llt'll llw nipmitor places his copy). Through the of this dial plate an inclined slml't ilitr-" ltw' to the hack of the machine as wen in big. i l. At the binder part of this shuit thvre in pulley cnrryin an tlilllU-LS chain (shoun in Fig. 13) which chain passes around :Hmlliki pub ley (I seen in Fig. 12 fixed upon 2 transrcrse shaft c. Upon this shaft there, is also a similar pulley f situate at the lint-l; of the receiver (seen best in the dctziched'i 'ig. 18). this pulley is atiixod the end of a chain 9 the reverse end of which chain is appended to the lower end of a vertical sliding rod 11 constituting the hack guide of the T-formed slider l on which the line of types are built up as described in rvt'erenvc to Fig. 13 and upon the shaft e is also atlixcd a pulley 2' having a weighted friction band pussedovcr its peri hry to retard partially the descent of the slider. The face of the dial a'is graduated with a scale representing inrhess and parts of an inch in order to show by the rotation of the. index: how far the slider has (ltZH'PIltkd when tlnapparatub is at work and mnsequently the length of the line of types accumulated on the top of the slider 1 an adjustable index is liltcwise placed upon the face of the dial as a mark for the workman tov regulate the length of each line. A ratchet wheel k with an adjustable click or catch (see Figs. 10. 11 and 12) is placed upon the axle r for the purpose of acting upon a hammer to strike :1 small bell k* :1 warnin a little time before each line of types is. completed upon the slider. Thus one line of types having been built up upon the to of the slider as indicated by the iroincit ence of the hands upon the dial plate he compositor turns; the winch Z on the thrift e for the purpose of lowering the line of types to the bottom of the receiver. In

irder to transfer this line of types into the .wiiusting stick after they have been thua blurred the compositor moves a horizontal inted lever m seen under the keys in Figs.

The T formed -lidi-r I may be now raised again to the top of ilnrem-ire! by turning the winch I when it i itunte ready for it fresh line of types to he built upon it by the means before cxplailltd. The adjusting stick 8 is now to be turned down into the horizontal position drown at Figs. 15 and 18 Where an assistant eomfmsitor norm-ts any ermrs that may be in- -t- '.--nr v and having done this he raises the galley w to the under part of the adjusting h'litli .i by turning a handle with an eccentric 11- into the situation shown at Fig. 15 and then draws horizontally a slider m by which the types are allowed to descend into the alley as shown in Fig. 18. The galley is mounted upon a. horn shaped frame y fixed at the end of the machine and is suspended by ivots upon a siiding frame a which turns horizontally upon the horn rune by means of a pin joint at its end. These arts are best shown upon an enlarged sea a a Figs. 19. 20 and 21. the galley being occamanl drawn aside by the assistant 00- positor is to be slightly inclined as at Fig. 21 for the pur 'iose of having the lines of type spread out to the required breadth of the page and leads introduced between the lines when required.

Fig. 29 represents a portion of a horizontal view as Fig. 12 in which a light variation is exhibited. In this instance the endless belt or chain h which conducts the types to the receiver is made much broader, that is sutliciently so to receive two types abreast or side by sid and a longitudinal bar as a partition between the two types extends along the machine and operates as a stop when the types are severally projected from the racks instead of the pendant strips of tin shown at l. k, k, in Fig. 13.

Figs. 30 and 21 represent in two viows on instrumcntwhich I denominato a fading trilntting marhine and inwrted in the proper compartment of the rat-l; of the rotnposine maehine. In these figures (1 u is a straight reetangrular liar having a lip or flange 7) at one end and a slider or t-lipa with a similar lip tnovalile upon the llitl' a which slider is (when the feeding stir-k has been charged with types) made last. upon the her by a thumb serew and a straight rod (1 is passed through holes in hoth the clips I; and I? \Ylllt'lt rod must he withdrawal when a column of types is to be taken from one of the grooves of the di tributing maehine. In tillx'lltil up a column of types by this apparatus the l)2U (z is laid (lose alongside of the type standing in the groove of the distributing machine, the lip l1 heing in Contact with one end of the rolutnn. then the slider is pressed up to the reverse, end of the eolumn and made fast there by a thumb screw. The column of types is thereby rlipped tight at its ends and the rod (i is then introduced to preventthe type falling out. The feeding st'iek with the types thus held may then he carried to the Composing apparatus and slidden down one of the perpendicular comportmonts of the rack when on withdrawing the rod (5 and unscrewing the clip the "apparatus may be withdrawn lea'vin; the oolumn of types insert d in the XHt'k ready for \lStR \Vhen there are a surplus quantity of an ranged types more than will till the grooves of the distrihutingz' llltltltlllt and the columns of the composing rat-h then I place uch sun plus of art.. l types u on a tahle shown in horizontal new at Fig. i and in the end view Fig. 323 the fave of the tahle is formed with longitudinal tilis slightly inrlimed to render the t'a es of the types \"isihle and a groove is out along the middle of each rib in order to allow the rlips f thefveding stir-l to he introdueetl wh n a portion of types from on of these rolsuninv is required to he taken up.

As onlv one type must he allowed to fall when a key is depressed a HDIIHQ f plaewl behind the plate answering:-

to every column of types is hrougzht into at-tion to retain the next lowest tvpe in its position in which means all the tvpes above i are neresarilv held up. At the lower end of the spring f is a tooth or projecting part 'vvhirh inserted in an opening at the lower part of thev rark opposite to the end of the tvpe and at the other end of the type there is a liar /1 extending longitudinallv arross the maehine. The face, of this liar it next the end of the type must he padded with leather to. form a soft resistanee. When the sliding rod (1 is drawn hark h the lttY it arts upon and draws hark one end of a (rank lever i whivh projeets through an eve in the rod (I and when one ,end of this lever is drawn hark l-)\' this means the other end is [H'('-t-'tti against the spring 7' as shown hv dots in the figure.
