Description
Linotype with star quadding attachment
As the Linotype operator types, brass molds called matrices or mats drop down from magazines into the assembly area. Spacers are inserted between words. Once the line is composed, the operator pushes the lever. The line of text is elevated into a mold and molten 535 degrees F metal is injected into the mold. Seconds later, the mold rotates 270 degrees, the slug is trimmed and ejected from the machine. Then the mats and spaces are picked up and automatically sorted back into the proper position for reuse.
Model 31 has a maximum equipment of four main magazines, equipped with the new One-Turn Shift which makes any magazine instantly available for use. Magazine change is quicker because all magazines are removable when in their operating position onto rails that are permanently attached to the magazine frame housing and, when not in use, fold back completely out of the way. The act of swinging down the left rail raises the magazine to be removed clear of the escapement, and with the right rail, provides a sturdy track for the magazine to slide down. The rails retain all the weight until the magazine is clear of the machine. Then the magazine pivots to a vertical position, the safest and most convenient position for lifting.
The length of the lever arms of the operating lever and the escapement lever are proportioned to maintain a ration of one-to-one, and the operating action of each lever arm is divided to move an equal distance each side of a straight line joining the two lever fulcrums.This assures easy action and minimum friction on the working surfaces while reducing wear on the keyboard rubber rollers.
