CARD
SORTING
MACHIN~
FUNCTIONAL
THE TYPE 80 Card Sorting Machine (Figure 26)
is
a
forerunner of the Type 82 machine and performs the
same functions
as
does the Type 82. The speed of the
Type
80, Model 1,
is
450 cards per minute; the speed
of the Type
80, Model
2,
is
250 cards per minute.
Because of this reduced speed, the operation of high
speed relays
is
fast enough to control the energization
of the sort magnet, and an electronic circuit
is
not
necessary. The capacity of the card magazine
is
the
same
as
that on the Type 82 machine; 550 cards.
PRINCIPLES
OPERATING
FEATURES
THE
OPERATING
features on the Type 80 machine are
the same
as
those on the Type 82, except for the main
line switch and the start and stop
keys.
The main line switch and the start and stop
keys
are
located
as
shown in Figure 26. Turning on the main
line switch immediately furnishes power
to
the machine
and makes the start
key
effective. The start key
is
protected
by
a metal hood which prevents inadvertent
starting of the machine due to accidental depression
Figure 26.
