Paper supports
This
feature
(19)
prevents
the
paper
from
coming
into
contact
with
the
back
of
the
machine
or
from
touching
the
table.
It
is
particularly
useful
when
typing
stencils.
It
also
enables
one
to
see
clearly
the
written
text.
To
bring
the
paper
supports
into
position,
one
has
merely
to
raise
one
of
the
two
arms
resting
against
the
back
protection
plate
Transparent card holders (guide lines)
The
card
holders
(20
and
24)
allow
one
to
type
both
at
the
top of the paper, even before it passes under the paper bail
and
to
the
very
end
of
the
sheet.
They
also
serve
as
line
guides,
since
the
top
of
the
graduation
(26)
indicates
the
height
of
the
writing
line.
Each
vertical
division
marks
the
exact
centre
of
a
character
(see
illustration).
It
is
there-
fore
quite
easy
to
replace
in
its
correct
position
any
docu-
ment which has had to be removed.
