Ribbon/Stencil Control
Film Ribbon Typewriter
Regulär typing: Set The Ribbon Control
at position R for
regulär typing. This may
be done by pushing the button on the
control, if not already at R. This auto-
matically moves the Control to the print-
ing position.
Stencil typing: To type stencils move the
Control to the left so the S lines up under
the red mark and
locks into that position.
