  • Thebar-ii which supports the line finder 04 (mg. 6) is adjustably siipported in slots in the side members or plates IN and I02 of the moisture reservoir, to permit adjustment of said bar and the line finder 04 toward and away-from the index fingers 5
  • the purpose of this adjustment is to vary the line spacing on the ledger sheet 03. It will be'remembered that the ledger sheet receives an-invariable movement fromL-line finding position to transfer position. Obviously if the line finder 64 is adjusted closer to the transfer position the spacing of the lines transferred to the ledger sheet will be increased, and if the line finder is adjusted farther from the transfer position the line spaces on the be decreased.
  • the medium'for applying the solvent to the area to be transferred ledger sheet will comprises a ribbon.
  • This ribbon indicated at 30v in Figs. 5, 6, and 10, normally rests in a solvent reservoir comprising a channel member I integral with side members "I and I02 which rest receiver tube I08 so that the end of the spout I01 rests on the wick I05.
  • the machine rests with the table 2I at approximately the angle indicated in Fig. 2 in which position the level of the solvent is substantially as indicated by the dotted line I09 (Fig. 6).
  • the purpose of the pad I on the bottom of the reservoir upon which the end of the tube I01 rests is to control the level of the solvent in the reservoir.
  • the pad I03 (Fig. 6) comprises a length of wick next to the angular plate I04. On top of the wick is a plurality of thicknesses of blotting paper and finally on the blotting paper is a length of fabric having a vertical pile or nap. It has been found that this arrangement of materials provides the correct degree of moisture for the ribbon 99 and that the nap obviates the tendency of the ribbon to stick to the pad as is the case when a comparatively smooth fabric is used.
  • the purpose of the piled fabric I03 is to control the amount of solvent reaching the ribbon. Also the pile permits the entire length of ribbon to leave the pad when it is moved to moistening position.
