lily-invention refers to improvements connected with typewriters and comprises an improved attaclnnentl or part for supplying paper to the machine ofi' a feed roller."

According "to my invention AI provide a' 'drum or roller which may bebuilt with the typewriter or may be made as an'attac'hment to ordinary cr existing machines; said'dr'u'ni 'beinr preferably mounted on brackets se-1 cured to the lback or other convenient part f theV machine.

Referring to the drawings, Figure 1.illus, trates vin perspective mi' attachment on a is a front elevation detached and Fig. 3. is a side view.- is a section of the roll for carrying vthe carbon paper;`

In .carrying my invention. into practice as illustrated in the accompanying draw-A ings, I employ two side members-a, a the lower ends of which are secured to the typewriter carriage by any suitable means, either permanent.. or detachable, builtl with the machine or as anattachment to existing machines.

^ As illustrated the attachment is for carry-` ing t-worolls of paperone of which is to take the original paper, the other-. duplicate,

the third roll Z being for a strip 'of carbon to come between the above said papers thereby obtaining the duplicate copyI The roll d is rotatable and has a longitudinal groove (l1 and wedge cl2 the end of the carbon paper" being' placed in the groove and the wedge put into same, thereby securing the carbon vertical brackets e preferably have suitable holesal through which the 'spindle passs, 55 1- the roll beingbetween .the brackets.. ,Tlie if spindle has kfnurled nuts b1 and -is detachable. -The lower ends of the brackets'mayv be secured to the typewriter by any suitable, means such as screws, or'the lower ends may.' 60V be forked,'one forked end a? having"afset. pin a3,- or any other suitable forinofelip' may be used. v'Ihe paper is maintained in' position on lthe spindle by langesqlpwliieh are secured by set pins c1 and whichmay be 65 moved to accommodate papersjof, various widthsy. 1
