COMPENSATOR WEDGE
Overcompensation
may
occur
whenever
(a)
the
system
receives
a sudden shock which unloads
the
rotate
arm,
(b)
the
detent
enters
the
wrong
type
head
notch prior
to
rotate

(c)
the
detent
enters
the
wrong
notch
after
rotate
completion.
If
the
wedge
drops too
far (overcompensateds)
check:
a.
Excessive head
play.
b.
Shift timing adjustments.
c.

S.H.
MAL-SELECTION
Random
mal-selection
may result
if
the
C-5
contacts
open during a print
operation.
What
actually
happens
is
that
a
given
pulse
of
be-
tween 30 and 40 milliseconds
is
placed
on
the
print
magnets,
the
armature
is
attracted,
and
trips
the
cy-
cle
clutch
mechanism. At this period in
time,
due
to
some
malfunction,
the
C-5
contact
opens.
This,
be-
ing
an
interlock
contact,
interrupts
the
pulse
to
the
print
magnets.
The
cyc
Ie
clutch
has
been
activated
and
the
machine
will
take
a
cycle;
however,
the
in-
tended
character
wi
II
not
be
selected:
Either
selec-
tion
of
an
extra
cycle
or
mal-selection
will
occur
since
the
armature has restored
and
has not
selected
the
proper
latches.
One
specific
instance
of
the
C-5
contact
breaker
opening during a print
operation
is
when
the
C-5
con-
tacts
are
adjusted
too
far
to
the
right.
The
C-5
contacts
are
operated
by
a cam
follower.
The
follow-
er
is
curved until
it
reaches
a
flat
portion which in
turn
operates
the
contact
operating
strap.
If
the
con-
tacts
are
adjusted
too
far
to
the
right,
they
will
con-
tact
the
curved portion
of
the
cam follower
and
will
open
erroneously.

MAL~SELECTION
Random
parity
and
selection
errors
can
be
caused
by
loose
or
broken
selector
latch
extensions.
A
change
has
been
processed
to
improve
the
riveting process
used
to
attach
the
'latches
and extensi ons (see
13.4).

FREEING
THE
ROTATE
PULLEY
An
easy
method
of
freeing
the
rotate
pu
lIey from
the
lower
ball
socket
after
loosening
the
set
screw
is
to
tap
a screwdriver p
laced
on
the
lower
end
of
the
ba
II
socket.
