requires somewhat less than one-quarter of a horsepower to drive it1 but the allowance of one-half horsepower is recommended to insure steadiness of motion4 ,each machine1 including overhanging projections1 is a little less than five feet square4 ,in placing machines allowance must be made for space sufficient to pass around and between them1 and for seat of operator in front4 ,a liberal allowance is #gx#aj feet4 ,the driving pulley of the machine is #ad inches in diameter and should be driven at about #fb revolutions per minute4 ,never to exceed #ff4 ,any arrangement of shafting and pulleys which will secure this speed will answer4 ,linotype ,motor4 ,the ,linotype ,company has recently had a specially designed electric motor built which is adapted for speedy application to ,linotype machines4 ,these motors are cheap1 compact1 reliable and pleasing in appearance4 ,their application demands no change in the machine except to remove the driving pulley and substitute a gear wheel furnished with the motor4 ,the only connection required is the extension of a wire to an ordinary incandescent lamp socket or other suitable source of electric power4 ,the use of these motors avoid the necessity for countershafts1 pulleys and belts1 and greatly improve the appearance of the office4 ,motors wound for #aae1 #bcj and #ejj volts are carried in stock4 ,the price1 with all attachments1 applicable to any machine1 is #fe4 ,the ,machine as ,it ,comes from the ,factory and ,how to ,erect ,it4 ,in shipping the machine the base and heavy parts1 such as column1 metal pot1 cams1 vise1 etc41 are assembled4 ,the base being bolted with lag screws to three skids and boxed up1 with the distributer bracket and step cleated in the top4 ,a second box1 #bjx#bdx#ah inches1 contains the key-board and reeds1 intermediate bracket1 channel-plate support1 and all the small parts1 such as vise-locking screws1 flexible front1 pi box and tube1 second elevator1 distributer box1 keyboard rod guide assembled1 all carriages1 etc4 ,a third box1 #ddx#bfx#af inches1 contains face plate assembled1 magazine1 set of matrices1 two small boxes1 one containing large and small assembler glasses1 the other the magazine entrance4 ,a fourth box1 #dfx#ix#ab inches1 contains distributer assembled and first elevator4 ,take boards from base and roll it to its permanent position and remove skids1 then cut the wires that bind levers ,c and ,j 7,fig4 #d74 ,then turn clutch ,a to the right until second elevator lever ,j 7,fig4 #d7 is in the position shown in ,fig4 #e and put on the distributer bracket ,a 7,fig4 #e74 ,then1 in the order given1 put on intermediate bracket ,d1 upper rod guide ,f1 channel plate support ,e1 second elevator ,c 7,fig4 #e71 and vise-locking screws #b and #c 7,fig4 #d74 ,illustration3 ,,fig4 #d4 ,illustration3 ,,fig4 #e4 ,illustration3 ,,fig4 #f4 ,illustration3 ,,fig4 #g4 ,then put on keyboard ,c 7,fig4 #f7 and put in rods ,b 7,fig4 #f71 which are numbered consecutively1 beginning with ,no4 #a at the left4 ,then put on first elevator ,a 7,fig4 #f71 distributer ,n 7,fig4 #e71 and belt ,p 7,fig4 #e71 which should always be crossed so as to run away from the gears4 ,now1 with machine in position 7,fig4 #f71 put on face plate ,n 7,fig4 #g71 which is held by the three cap screws #b1 #c and #d 7,fig4 #f71 and magazine ,a and flexible front and glass ,c 7,fig4 #g7 and connect spaceband lever1 spaceband transfer carriage1 distributer shifter carriages1 line delivery carriage1 assembling elevator1 etc4 ,reversing these directions will1 of course1 show how to take the machine apart4 ,before putting on driving belt it is advisable to turn machine over by hand1 to be sure everything is all right4 ,if all parts are connected properly there should be no binding and machine should turn easily4 ,illustration3 ,,fig4 #h4 ,illustration3 ,,fig4 #i4 ,temperature of the ,metal4 ,it is essential that the temperature of the metal should be kept uniform4 ,if the temperature is too high1 porous or spongy slugs will result1 also defective faces and a weak surface1 which allows the letters to sink in printing4 ,a temperature that is too low causes the metal to adhere to the mouthpiece and prevents the free flow of the metal to the mold4 ,we recommend that the metal in front of the well be kept at a temperature anywhere between #ecf and #efc degrees ,fahrenheit4 ,the temperature can be kept uniform by means of the gas governor attached to each machine1 and can be supplemented by a gas pressure governor attached to supply pipe4 7,see ,fig4 #aj47 ,the temperature can be ascertained by plunging a thermometer reading up to #fjj degrees ,fahrenheit into the molten metal in front of the well and readings taken when the mercury remains constant4 ,heat the thermometer before plunging it into the metal4 ,the bulb should be wholly covered by the molten metal4 ,when no thermometer is at hand the temperature may be obtained approximately by plunging a piece of paper into the molten metal4 ,if it turns brown the metal is in a proper condition to cast4 ,the temperature is too low if only a slight color is imparted to the paper2 too high if a deep brown or black4 ,no other metal1 such as brass1 zinc1 or stereotype metal should be mixed with linotype metal4 ,it has been found that better results are obtained if the slugs are melted in a proper furnace and cast into ingots or blocks4 ,the pot will be kept more free from dross by this method than by melting the slugs in the metal pot of the machine4 ,the ,gas ,connections and ,governor4 ,for one machine use a -inch supply pipe1 and increase about -inch for each additional machine1 a #b-;inch pipe being sufficient for a plant of twelve machines4 ,a -inch feed pipe should be run to each machine4 ,a gas governor is furnished by the ,linotype ,company1 as shown in ,fig4 #aj1 which should be attached to the main pipe near the machines4 ,this governor1 together with the one on the machine1 will keep the gas at a uniform pressure4 ,the governor 7,fig4 #aj7 works as follows3 ,when the gas pressure becomes too heavy it raises the float ,b1 which sets in mercury at point ,j and ,a1 and closes the valve ,c1 points #a and #b4 ,a small bottle of mercury is sent with each governor2 also two small lead weights1 which go on top of float ,b4 ,the arrows show how the gas enters and leaves the governor4 ,illustration3 ,,fig4 #aj4 ,purifying the ,metal4 ,the metal may be purified if1 when in a molten state1 a piece of green wood about #d inches in diameter and #g or #h inches long1 attached to an iron rod1 is plunged into the molten metal and allowed to remain about #bj minutes1 or until the boiling ceases4 ,the green wood causes the metal to boil violently1 and the oxides contained in the interior of the molten metal are affectually reduced4 ,the metal should then be thoroughly stirred and the scum removed by an iron ladle4 ,the dross on the surface may be reduced by adding a few ounces of rosin to the molten mass4 ,formation of ,dross ,upon the ,surface of ,linotype ,metal4 ,dross is a compound formed by the action of air upon molten metal4 ,the oxygen contained in the atmosphere attacks most metals with which we are acquainted4 ,the formation of this oxide takes place more rapidly and in larger quantities the higher the temperature of the metal4 ,this oxidation only occurs upon the surface of molten metal where the air has access and not in the center of the molten mass4 ,it is easy to skim this dross from the metal by means of an iron ladle4 ,it can then be reduced to metal during the operation of melting the slugs into blocks already described4 ,if this is done little loss will result4 ,the principle of its reduction to the metallic state is this3 ,if such dross is heated in contact with carbonaceous material1 such as rosin1 the carbon and resulting gases formed in the process take away the oxygen contained in the dross1 liberating the metal4 ,care of ,friction ,clutch4 ,care should be taken to keep the inside rim of pulley and clutch leather shoes free from oil2 if not1 the clutch will slip and fail to turn machine over4 ,the clutch and pulleys should be taken off every two weeks and cleaned and oiled2 if not1 they will become dry on the shaft and cause the mold disk to carry over when the machine stops4 ,to take off the clutch and pulleys unscrew the nut ,e 7,fig4 #ac7 and loosen screw which holds clutch on the shaft2 then clean shaft ,n 7,fig4 #aa72 then put it back and adjust as described in ,adjustment of ,automatic ,stop4 ,the friction clutch spring ,s 7,fig4 #aa7 is sometimes too weak1 and should be strengthened or renewed4 ,to take out this spring1 unscrew the cap or end of shaft as shown in ,fig4 #aa4 ,illustration3 ,,fig4 #aa4 ,to ,adjust ,new ,style ,automatic ,stop4 ,first--,adjust the automatic stopping pawl ,a 7,fig4 #ad7 to #ae-af inch from side of cam to back of pawl and adjust automatic safety pawl the same4 ,second--,set the automatic stopping lever ,c 7,fig4 #ad7 so as to engage #c-af inch with automatic stopping pawl ,a4 ,then clamp the vertical starting lever shaft ,k with set screw ,d 7,fig4 #ab74 ,third--,by the adjusting nut ,e 7,fig4 #ac7 adjust the driving shaft clutch flange ,f 7,fig4 #ab7 to #bi-fd inch from end of driving shaft bearing ,g 7,fig4 #ab72 then tighten check nut4 ,fourth--,by means of adjusting screw ,h 7,fig4 #ab7 take up the lost motion between the contact points ,i and ,j 7,fig4 #ab71 leaving #a-cb inch play2 then tighten check nut4 ,to set friction clutch on machines with old-style automatic stop1 simply tighten the nut ,e 7,fig4 #ac7 until there is #a-af inch between flange ,f and driving shaft bearing ,g 7,fig4 #ab71 with starting lever open2 then set vise automatic4 ,to ,set ,vise ,automatic4 ,first set eccentric screw #f 7,fig4 #ae7 on inner end of stopping and starting lever connection rod #h 7,fig4 #ae7 so as to take up all lost motion between it and the vertical starting lever4 ,then set the eccentric screw #g 7,fig4 #ae7 on outer end of the connecting rod #h so as to take up all lost motion between it and vise automatic stop lever #d 7,fig4 #ae74 ,to do this1 pull out the vise automatic stop lever #d with your finger until the inside end bears firmly against the vise automatic stop rod #a1 which1 in turn1 comes in contact with the vise automatic stop mold disk dog #c 7,fig4 #ae72 then pull out the starting and stopping hand lever #b 7,fig4 #ae7 until machine starts4 ,at the time when the machine starts the eccentric screw #g should touch the outer end of the vise automatic stop lever #d1 then there would be no lost motion and the vise automatic would act as follows3 ,in case of a tight line 7which would not allow the first elevator to drop into the vise far enough to force the vise automatic stop rod #a down to allow the mold disk dog #c to pass over the pawl #e in the stop rod #a7 the disk coming forward would force the mold disk dog #c against the pawl #e in stop rod #a which1 coming in contact with inner end of vise automatic stop lever #d1 would force the outer end of stop lever against eccentric screw #g1 which would cause the machine to be shut off the same as if it were done by pushing the hand lever in by hand4 ,illustration3 ,,fig4 #ac4 ,illustration3 ,,fig4 #ab4 ,illustration3 ,,fig4 #ad4 ,if the vise automatic is set this way it will stop mold disk nearly #a-af inch away from matrices1 leaving the first elevator free to lift up and a matrix to be taken out4 ,this not only prevents a squirt1 but saves the ears of the matrices in many cases4 ,illustration3 ,,fig4 #ae4 ,illustration3 ,,fig4 #af4 ,to ,prevent ,transposition of ,matrices4 ,in order to prevent transposition of matrices and spacebands the parts should be adjusted as illustrated in ,fig4 #ca4 ,the assembler chute spring ,a1 which lays between spaceband chute ,b and assembler rail ,c1 should be set as low as its banking piece 8a0 will permit4 ,its lower end should be about midway between the lower end of the spaceband chute ,b and matrix catch spring ,e1 and in line with them4 ,the space between the spring ,a and rail ,c at point #b should be equal to the thickness of the capital ,w matrix4 ,the spaceband buffer ,f should be adjusted so that each band as it falls into the line will be supported by the buffer1 with its ear about #a-cb inch above the top of the assembler rail4 ,the buffer wire should have a slight inclination downward toward the left1 so that the ears of the bands will settle down as the line is assembled4 ,the matrix catch spring ,e should project through the assembler plate a sufficient distance to catch each matrix as it passes1 and prevent it from falling back to the right4 ,the assembler slide brake ,h and spring ,l should be adjusted to prevent the assembler slide from jumping ahead to the left or continually vibrating as the matrices enter4 ,if the assembler vibrates it makes it impossible for the operator to read the line1 and the last letter will sometimes fall out when the assembling elevator is raised4 ,this is caused by the brake ,h wearing at points #c and #d1 which lessens the tension of the spring ,l and takes up the space between bottom screw ,j and brake lever ,k at point #f1 which should be about #a-cb inch4 ,if brake ,h is not too badly worn at points #c and #d this trouble can be obviated by strengthening spring ,l and turning up screw ,j until you have about #a-cb inch space at point #f4 ,be careful not to get too much space at point #f1 or the assembler slide would not return when the line has been released from the assembling elevator4 ,the ,assembler ,star and ,friction ,spring4 ,the assembler star should be renewed as soon as it is worn sufficient to prevent it from pushing the matrices inside the assembling elevator pawls1 and it is advisable to renew the assembler chute rails at the same time4 ,the assembler star friction spring sometimes gets too weak to hold the star and it will slip4 ,the assembler star friction disk will also wear out4 ,to renew these1 take off the assembler ,fig4 #ag 7this shows back view7 and unscrew the nut ,c4 ,this cut also shows the intermediate gear ,b and assembler belt driving pulley ,a4 ,illustration3 ,,fig4 #ag4 ,to ,set ,distributer ,bar4 ,the distributer bar has a strip of brass about #a-af inch wide set into it just above the combinations4 ,in setting it for height be careful not to set it too low4 ,if set too low the matrix1 in leaving the distributer box1 will bind between the distributer box upper rails ,n 7,fig4 #bg71 ,m 7,fig4 #bf7 and the brass strip4 ,if the matrices bind it will not only bend the ears1 but also wear brass strip4 ,the bar should be set so that when matrix is about to leave the rails1 and has entered onto the first combination of the bar1 it will rest on the top of the rails and be perfectly free on the bar4 ,to make this adjustment1 loosen the screws ,e and ,f 7,fig4 #ai7 and set the bar with the two set screws in top of distributer beam4 ,to set the bar endwise1 the distance from the first combination 7e7 7,fig4 #ah7 to the outside of the distributer front screw bracket ,a 7,fig4 #ah7 should be #b inches4 ,in the latest machines built this bar is adjusted in the factory and a pin driven into it just below screw ,f 7,fig4 #ai74 ,if bar is taken out it will always go back in its proper place1 and the end adjustment will not be necessary4 ,illustration3 ,,fig4 #ah4 ,to ,set the ,magazine4 ,in setting the magazine first see that the distributer-bar is set right1 as shown in ,fig4 #ah2 then run two pi matrices onto the bar1 one at each end1 as #a and #b 7,fig4 #bj72 then raise or lower the magazine with screws ,e and ,f until there is about #a-af inch space between the bottom of matrix and the channel-plate entrance partition at points #a and #b 7,fig4 #bj72 then tighten check nuts on screws ,e and ,f to prevent them from changing4 ,next run a lower case 8e0 onto the bar by turning the distributer slowly by hand1 and set the magazine sidewise until the lower case 8e0 drops as soon as it passes the second entrance partition1 which would be the right hand partition for the 8e0 channel4 ,when the machine is running the momentum will be sufficient to carry it to the center of the 8e0 channel4 ,then turn out the screws ,n and ,m 7,fig4 #bj7 until they touch the sides of the distributer bracket1 and tighten the check nuts on the screws ,m and ,n so they will not change4 ,the next thing is to set the lower end of the magazine in relation to the rods ,j1 ,fig4 #ba4 ,first throw the rods into the verges2 then touch the first and last keyboard buttons1 which are lower case 8e0 and 8--02 then turn rubber roller until the 8e0 and 8--0 rods are at their highest point2 then raise or lower the magazine by screws in channel-plate support ,a 7,fig4 #bj7 and on column ,r 7,fig4 #e7 until there is about #a-cb inch between the key rod and verge at point #h 7,fig4 #cb72 then tighten the check nuts ,b on screws ,a 7,fig4 #ba74 ,to ,set ,distributer ,box ,lift4 ,turn out screw ,a 7,fig4 #bj7 until the lift ,c 7,fig4 #bj7 will not come down low enough to pick up the matrices2 then turn the screw ,a 7,fig4 #bj7 until the lift ,c will just pick up all the matrices and tighten check nut on the screw4 ,this will allow all extra motion to be on the upward motion which carries the matrix that much higher up into the distributer screws1 so there would be little danger of bending the ear of the matrix4 ,illustration3 ,,fig4 #ai4 ,illustration3 ,,fig4 #bj4 ,illustration3 ,,fig4 #ba4 ,to ,remove ,side of ,keyboard to ,clean ,cams4 ,the keyboard cams should be taken out and thoroughly cleaned every six or eight months and oiled with a drop of clock oil on the journal pin4 ,this will prevent them from sticking and causing transposition of the matrices4 ,illustration3 ,,fig4 #bb4 ,illustration3 ,,fig4 #bc4 ,illustration3 ,,fig4 #bd4 ,the easiest way to take out the cams is to take off the back and front of the keyboard 7,fig4 #bc74 ,this is done by taking off the keyboard tray ,n 7,fig4 #bc72 then taking out screws ,i and ,a 7,fig4 #bb7 with the keyboard unlocked4 ,the back1 of course1 comes off the same way4 ,as these are dowelled1 you would have no trouble in replacing them4 ,it will be found easier in putting them back if a small wire is run through the cam yoke triggers ,c 7,fig4 #ca71 locking them so they would enter the keyboard keybars ,b 7,fig4 #ca7 at point #c 7,fig4 #ca74 ,figure #bd shows the keyboard with the front taken off1 showing the keyboard keybars ,n in place and lower keyboard rod guide ,m4 ,the ,distributer ,box and ,rails4 ,figure ,no4 #be shows the distributer-box complete4 ,the best way to take it apart to renew the rails ,b and ,c 7,fig4 #bh7 is to take out screws #a1 #b and #c 7,fig4 #be7 and take off side 7,fig4 #bf74 ,the rails ,m and ,k 7,fig4 #bf7 and ,n and ,o 7,fig4 #bg7 have to be renewed when they have worn 7as shown by dotted lines #a and #b1 ,fig4 #bh7 enough to allow two thin matrices to pass between points #a and #b1 rails ,c and ,b1 and distributer-box bar pawl #c 7,fig4 #bh74 ,if the rails ,m 7,fig4 #bf7 and ,n 7,fig4 #bg7 are badly worn on the top #b 7,fig4 #bf7 and #d 7,fig4 #bg7 a matrix is liable to leave the box and enter on the distributer-bar diagonally1 and if the distributer-box is not set properly the same thing will occur4 ,illustration3 ,,fig4 #be4 ,illustration3 ,,fig4 #bf4 ,illustration3 ,,fig4 #bg4 ,illustration3 ,,fig4 #bh4 ,the ,spaceband ,box and ,pawls4 ,to insure good work the spaceband box should be kept thoroughly clean4 ,to clean box1 it will be necessary to take it off the machine and take it apart4 ,to do this take out screw ,k 7,fig4 #bi7 and screws ,l1 which hold the spaceband chute2 drive out pin ,j and take off the pawl lever ,i 7,fig4 #bi72 then take out screws ,a and ,c and take off side4 ,figure #cj shows inside of box4 ,the screw #a in pawl lever should be adjusted so that when pawl lever is down the pawls ,n and ,o will be low enough to clear the top rails ,c and ,j 7,fig4 #cj7 about #a-cb inch1 with the screw resting on spaceband lever4 ,if too low it will give a double motion to the pawl lever ,i 7,fig4 #bi7 and sometimes throw out two spacebands at once and clog the spaceband chute4 ,the spaceband center guide ,a 7,fig4 #cj7 will allow two bands to pass if it is not adjusted properly4 ,at the lower end of the guide is a half pin or ear on each side1 which is to catch the second spaceband if pawl lever lifts two4 ,this guide is adjustable and should be set so as to allow only one band to pass freely4 ,the pawls ,n and ,o 7,fig4 #cj7 have to be renewed when badly worn4 ,before putting in new pawls rub them down on an oil stone1 so that when in place in the box1 and moved up and down slowly by hand1 they will stand inside the hooks of the rails ,c and ,j about the width of a spaceband ear1 and both be the same height so as to lift the band evenly4 ,illustration3 ,,fig4 #cj4 ,illustration3 ,,fig4 #bi4 ,the pawls ,n and ,o should work in their slots perfectly loose4 ,as the pawl levers and pawls drop by their own weight entirely1 it is necessary their movement should be perfectly free4 ,when putting spacebands into the box always be sure the bottom of the first is back of the stop for spaceband end ,l 7,fig4 #cj74 ,keyboard1 ,magazine and ,connections4 ,figure #ca shows all parts at rest and ,fig4 #cb the parts in motion after key lever ,a has been touched and the cam ,d has made one-half revolution4 ,in ,fig4 #ca the cam and yoke ,d is supported about #a-af inch above the rubber roller ,e by the trigger ,c1 which intersects the keyboard keybar ,b at point #c4 ,the key rod ,g1 which is suspended from the verge ,i at point #h1 comes down to about #a-af inch from cam yoke at point #f4 ,note that point #d on cam ,d is only about one-half as far from the journal pin or cam bearing as point #g4 ,now1 suppose the rubber roll to be revolving and key lever ,a pressed down1 this will in turn raise the keybar ,b and throw out the trigger ,c from the cam at point #e and allow the cam to strike the revolving rubber roll ,e at point #d1 which would cause the cam to turn4 ,now suppose we stop the rubber roll when the cam ,d has reached point #g and we get the result as shown in ,fig4 #cb1 i4 e41 the cam yoke at point #f where the rod ,g rests will be raised high enough to raise the upper end of rod ,g at point #h enough to allow verge pawl ,l to release the matrix ,m1 which in ,fig4 #ca was held in its place in the magazine by the verge pawl1 then in ,fig4 #cb the upper verge pawl ,k will hold the second matrix ,n and prevent it from following the first matrix ,m out of the magazine4 ,when the cam ,d has completed its revolution or again come round to point #d all the parts will have come back to the position shown in ,fig4 #ca1 except that the matrix ,m will have gone to the assembler and matrix ,n have taken its place4 ,when the rod ,g is raised 7as explained7 to its position in ,fig4 #cb1 the verge ,i is raised by spring ,j and brought back again by the rod ,g1 which is returned by the coiled spring ,h and the keyboard keybar ,b is returned partly by its own weight1 which1 if everything is clean1 would be sufficient4 ,illustration3 ,,fig4 #ca4 ,illustration3 ,,fig4 #cb4 ,but to guard against sticking from dirt or other causes3 ,the keyboard keybar spring ,f 7sometimes called the comb spring7 is attached and intersects the keybar ,b at point #b4 ,r shows a sectional top view of keyboard rod lower guide ,t as the slot #aj should be when new1 and ,s shows same when it is badly worn by the motion of the keyrod ,g4 ,when guide slot is worn as shown at #aa 7,fig4 #cb7 the keyboard rod is apt to bind and the spring ,h would not be strong enough to bring the rod back to its position4 ,the guide ,t should then be renewed and the old one repaired at leisure1 by soldering a piece on the bottom and cutting new slots4 ,these parts will give no trouble if care is taken to keep them clean4 ,the ,metal ,pot4 ,illustration3 ,,fig4 #cc4 ,figure #cc shows a sectional view of metal pot and well2 also mold-disk1 with a line of matrices assembled in front of mold ready to cast a slug4 ,causes of ,squirts4 ,squirts will sometimes occur even if the pump-stop attachment is supposed to entirely prevent them4 ,two of the frequent causes of this trouble are as follows3 ,first--,when a line is given to the first elevator1 just as the machine is about completing its revolution to deliver the previous line1 and before the elevator is fairly settled into place1 the line may become twisted1 although not enough to prevent it from going down into the casting pawls4 ,the mold cannot come forward far enough to close up tightly on account of the twisted matrices1 and the result is a squirt1 and the metal flies all over the mold face and into the elevator jaw1 soldering it up and stopping the machine4 ,second--,if the part of the elevator jaw which holds the upper ears becomes sprung1 the matrices will twist and you will get a squirt4 ,if vise automatic is not set properly1 as described under ,fig4 #ae1 a squirt is liable to occur4 ,when a squirt occurs from the first cause1 many operators open the vise and force down the jaw until the line breaks away from the mold disk4 ,this will give rise to the second cause1 by springing the parts of the jaw referred to4 ,this should never be done1 but this part of the jaw should be loosened by taking out the three screws that hold it in place and gently work the vise and line loose4 ,clean the squirt and put piece back in place4 ,directions for ,facing ,mouthpiece4 ,in many instances a machine will squirt metal back of the disk if the metal is very hot4 ,as a general thing1 this is laid to the gas1 but in nearly every instance it will be found that it is caused by the mouthpiece not being true with the back of the mold4 ,in some cases it will be found that the mold is warped slightly1 but not often4 ,if the back knife does not trim the bottom of the slug perfectly the metal will adhere to the back of the mold1 making high lines 7i4 e41 lines over 4#iai1 as explained under ,fig4 #ci71 and also prevent good contact between the mouthpiece and mold1 which would1 of course1 cause metal to squirt back of the mold disk4 ,to prevent this1 the mouthpiece should be faced up true with back of mold1 as follows3 ,first send a line through the machine1 stopping at casting point2 then screw up the nut on end of pot lever eyebolt until it touches the pot lever4 ,this takes up the pot pressure1 so that when the vise is let down the metal pot will retain the same position as when casting a line4 ,then disconnect the vise-closing jaw screw connecting rod by taking out the wing pin on end of vise-closing jaw lever4 ,this will prevent the rod from being bent or broken when vise is let way down4 ,then let the machine finish the revolution4 ,now throw off the driving belt and pull out pot pump plunger pin and turn machine by hand to casting point1 disconnect mold disk slide and pull out disk ,b 7,fig4 #cd72 thoroughly clean back of mold ,a 7,fig4 #cd7 and cover with red lead mixed with oil1 or it will be found much better and easier to use prussian blue oil paint1 a tube of which will not cost over #aj cents4 ,illustration3 ,,fig4 #cd4 ,rub the back of mold with this paint2 push disk ,b in until the back of mold ,a touches the mouthpiece ,x 7,fig4 #cd72 then turn mold disk back and forth1 rubbing the back of mold over the mouthpiece4 ,the blue paint will thus be transferred to the mouthpiece1 and show the high points4 ,should the paint show on one end only1 throw the metal pot around by means of set screws to be found in foot of pot legs until it is about true3 then1 with a small coarse file1 file off the blue spots1 which are the high or uneven places4 ,then push the mold in once more1 and again rub mold on mouthpiece and file off blue or high spots as before4 ,continue this operation until the paint shows in small spots all over the mouthpiece4 ,before finishing this operation be sure to put in the cross vents between the holes with a cold chisel1 making them a little deeper at the top1 as shown in ,fig4 #ce4 ,this will prevent porous or spongy slugs4 ,after connecting the machine up again1 put on the driving belt and run through another line1 stopping1 as at first1 at casting point4 ,then let out the nut on end of pot lever eyebolt until it is about -inch from back of pot lever4 ,illustration3 ,,fig4 #ce4 ,if this is done as described there will be a perfect lockup on the mold both back and front1 the only metal trimmed from back of mold being that from the vents4 ,care of ,matrices1 ,spacebands and ,magazine4 ,it is essential that these parts receive the most careful attention4 ,matrices should be washed only when absolutely necessary1 which would be if oil should collect on them4 ,this will not happen if machine is properly cleaned and oiled4 ,matrices that have been used a long time will sometimes show slight burrs1 caused by walls of matrices being crushed4 ,if they are not washed these small cavities will become filled up with dirt and metal so that print will look clear4 ,washing would1 of course1 take this dirt and metal away and burrs would show worse than before4 ,instead of washing matrices1 rub the sides on a piece of felt2 then lock them up in a galley and clean the face and front so the operator can read the lines in the assembling elevator4 ,when a letter sticks in the magazine1 take it out and1 after making sure that ears are not burred1 polish the ears with graphite and wipe them clean4 ,if a new set of matrices is treated in this way before putting them into the machine there will be little or no trouble with them sticking in the magazine4 ,any burrs on the ears should be filed off1 or they also will cause the letters to stick4 ,in cleaning the magazine1 do not use benzine unless oil should have collected there by some means4 ,be sure to lift up matrix guards at the lower end of magazine #b-b-b-b 7,fig4 #cf7 and clean the channels on under side of these guards2 also the channels ,a 7,fig4 #cf74 ,illustration3 ,,fig4 #cf4 ,the spacebands should be carefully inspected and metal should never be allowed to collect on the slide4 ,metal on the spaceband slides will destroy a set of matrices in a very few hours4 ,when cleaning spacebands1 never use emery cloth1 as this polishes the slide and causes the metal to adhere to it4 ,the best way to clean spacebands is to rub them in graphite on a board or piece of felt nailed on a board4 ,lapping and ,cleaning ,molds4 ,if a mold is warped 7as referred to under directions for facing mouthpiece71 the only way to fix it is to lap it down on a lapping block4 ,figure #cg shows the lapping block ,b and mold ,c that is to be lapped4 ,a lapping block is one of the most essential tools to have in an office4 ,if you do not have this block procure it at once from the ,linotype ,company1 or one of the stock rooms4 ,this block is of cast iron1 corrugated on one face4 ,to use it1 sprinkle a small quantity of emery and benzine on the corrugated face2 then rub the mold back and forth1 as shown in ,fig4 #cg1 until you have a perfect surface4 ,this block is also used to sharpen all the knives on the machine the same way4 ,a mold should be taken apart and cleaned and polished at frequent intervals1 or the small grooves which make the ribs on the slug will fill up with dirt and cause the slugs to stick4 ,illustration3 ,,fig4 #cg4 ,adjustable ,molds and ,liners4 ,figure #ch shows an adjustable mold and two liners4 ,these molds are made in three sizes for each body1 ,no4 #ad1 ,no4 #bd and ,no4 #cj1 and cost #cj each4 ,no4 #ad will take liners to cast any length of line from #ad ems down as short as may be desired4 ,no4 #bd will take liners to cast any length from #bd ems to #g ems1 both inclusive4 ,no4 #cj will take liners to cast any length of line from #cj ems to #ac ems1 both inclusive4 ,these liners cost #a4ej1 and are interchangeable for any size mold of the same body4 ,for instance1 a ,no4 #b minion liner will give #ab ems in a ,no4 #ad mold1 #bb ems in a ,no4 #bd mold1 and #bh ems in a ,no4 #cj mold4 ,this1 of course1 would apply to any size liner4 ,illustration3 ,,fig4 #ch4 ,the ,space ,bands4 ,both sides of the spaceband slide #a and #b should measure the same at top and bottom1 but side #a should never be thicker than side #b4 ,on the other hand1 if side #b be 4#jja thicker it will insure a better lockup of the matrices4 ,spacebands are made in two classes1 thick and thin4 ,the thick bands present a minimum thickness of about 4#jcge of an inch in the line1 and expand to 4#a1 and are stronger and heavier than the others4 ,the thin bands present a minimum thickness of about 4#jcb of an inch in the line1 and expand to 4#jie of an inch1 and are adapted for use where very thin spacing is required2 for example1 in connection with very small faces4 ,illustration ,point ,system of the ,mergenthaler ,linotype ,co4 ,this point system--adopted for convenience in measuring--is nearly identical with that of ,didot1 as adopted by the ,united ,states ,typefounders' ,association4 ,the size of a pica em1 as understood before the adoption of the point system1 was one-sixth of an inch1 or 4#aff4 ,the pica em adopted by the ,united ,states ,typefounders' ,association measures 4#aff1 while the ,linotype pica em measures 4#afh4 ,the ,united ,states ,typefounders' ,association's unit of measurement1 or point1 is 4#jachc4 ,the ,mergenthaler ,linotype ,company's is 4#jad4 ,therefore #ab points 4#jad 4#afh1 or the ,linotype pica em4 ,all the ,linotype matrix measurements are made on the basis of 4#jad to a point1 and 4#afh to an em pica4 ,the following table will furnish an illustration of these dimensions3 ,no4 ,em ,font4 ,points4 ,point4 ,space4 ,ruby #e 4#jad 4#jgj ,agate #e 4#jad

,linotype matter1 take an em space in the font to be measured1 and ascertain how many times it is contained in the matter to be measured4 ,the quotient will show the correct number of ems4 ,the length of molds is calculated on a basis of #aff to an em pica1 while the body or thickness of slug is calculated according to the above table4 ,the slug should be the same thickness at points #a1 #b1 #c and #d 7,fig4 #dj74 ,if the machine locks up properly1 and the back knife is set right1 the slug should measure #iah to #iai thousandths high from bottom of slug to top of letter4 ,illustration3 ,,fig4 #ci4 ,matrix ,hair ,spaces4 ,these are furnished as sorts4 ,they are similar in shape to the em and en spaces1 but are inserted in the line by hand and automatically returned by the machine to the quad box4 ,they are of the following thicknesses1 respectively3 4#jab1 4#jac1 4#jad1 4#jae1 4#jaf1 4#jag1 4#jah1 4#jai and 4#jbj of an inch4 ,regular thin spaces measure 4#jbh1 4#jca1 4#jce and 4#jche4 ,adjustment of ,mold ,slide and ,disk4 ,adjustment of the mold slide is done by means of two set screws1 which adjusts the gib on which it slides4 ,this gib should be adjusted so that the slide has 4#jjg play4 ,this will allow it to work freely4 ,the mold disk is held in position for casting and trimming the slug by means of pins attached to the vise1 called mold disk locking studs4 ,the studs are located in relation to the mold disk locking bushings at the factory so as to give perfect alignment of the matrices4 ,they are dowelled in place and should never be changed4 ,should the bushings or studs become badly worn at any time1 renew them and thus keep the alignment perfect4 ,the forward motion is imparted to the mold slide by means of a roller which runs in a groove in the mold cam and driving gear4 ,this roller is connected with the mold slide lever by means of an eccentric pin that has a pin attached1 which serves as a handle with which to adjust it4 ,to adjust the slide1 loosen the screw which holds the eccentric pin with the ,t or a small monkey wrench1 and turn the handle so that the slide will come forward until the face of the mold is within 4#ja inch of the vise movable jaw at the time when the line in first elevator is to be justified4 ,if pin is set so as to throw the disk too far forward it would bind the spacebands and matrices and prevent the justification levers from driving up the bands sufficient to space the line1 which would cause an indention of the line4 ,on the other hand1 if the mold disk does not come forward far enough1 it will not give a good lockup1 owing to the metal pot having to spring the disk too far in making the final lockup4 ,directions for ,putting in a ,new ,verge4 ,to put in a new verge1 first lock up the machine and disconnect the rods2 then take off the magazine and place on a bench or other suitable place1 bottom up2 then take off the verge partition locking strip 7which is held in place by some of the partition's ears being bent crosswise7 up to the verge that is to be removed4 ,withdraw the verge rod until you have reached the verge to be renewed2 at the same time follow it up with another rod1 which will keep the other verges in place4 ,then take out the verge4 ,in putting in the new one1 be sure the hole is large enough to allow the verge to work freely4 ,then push the verge rod back into place4 ,put back the locking strip and bend the partition's ears to hold it in place4 ,the magazine is now ready to be put back on the machine4 ,alignment of ,faces4 ,the following faces will

so that if any of these parts should break or wear out they could be renewed at once and machine would not have to stand idle until they could be procured from factory or stock rooms4 ,the expense
