Cutting
a Stencil
Corona
has clean,
sharp
type and
a
powerful stroke. It is
therefore
an
excellent
machine
for
cutting the stencils
used
on
rotary
duplicating
machines.
To
cut a stencil
:
First
wash the
type thoroughly
as
directed
under
"Cleaning."
Then slip
the ribbon
out
of the slots in ribbon
vibrator.
Loosen nuts
on
both ribbon
spools,
allowing ribbon
to
hang
suspended
between the
two spools.
The spools need
not
be
removed.
Reversing
Ribbon
When one spool is nearly full
the ribbon
should
be
reversed.
This
is
done
by
loosening
the Ribbon
Spool
Nut on
top of
the
full
spool and
tightening the
nut on the
empty one.
Particular atten-
tion
is
called
to
the fact
that one spool
must
always
be loose, other-
wise
the
ribbon
will
be pulled
in
both
directions
at
once
and
the
machine
will
refuse to
operate.
Writing
on
Cards
or
Labels
It
will be
noticed that both
the
Paper
Fingers
and
the
Margin
Stops
on
Corona
may
be moved
close
together.
For card
writing,
it is
advisable
to move the Paper Fingers
so
that
they rest
on the
edges
of the
card.
\
The same applies
to
large
labels,
I
but
for small labels and stiff
|
cards
our
label holding
attachment
should
be
employed.
This
simple
device
snaps
on
the
platen and
revolves
with it.
The
method
of
inserting
a
labef
is
clearly
shown
in
the
accompanying
illustration.
Stiff
cards
should
be
fed
into
the
machine
in
the
usual
way,
