The

The

The

a

correspond

to

as

many

If

you

wish

the

carriage

to

stop,

for

instance,

at

the

30th

space,

move

it

to

the

position

where

the

central

guide

(18)

coincides

with

the

figure

on

the

bail.

Progressive

Brake

The

tabulator

of

the

HERMES

2000

is

fitted

with

a

device

for

slowing

down

the

movement

of

the

carriage.

A

normal

pressure

on

Tabulator

Key

(33)

causes

the

carriage

to

slide

rapidly.

A

stronger

pressure

makes

it

travel

more

slowly

and

avoids

all

shock

when

it

comes

to

a

stop.

The

advantage

of

a

progressive

brake

of

this

type

is

obvious.
