FIGURE 151. Multiplying Lever Stop (New Style)
Figure 152 illustrates the first level multiplying lever
stop· used on the new style index mechanism. This stop
should be adjusted both horizontally and vertically.
The stop is adjusted vertically so that the multiplying
lever will operate above and below a horizontal position
by an equal amount. The horizontal and vertical adjust-
ments of the stop must be made alternate Iy unti I both are
correct.

b. With the platen inst911ed, hold the detent roller dis-
engaged from the platen ratchet with a spring hook
while an index operation is manually cycled. At
the completion of the operation allow the detent
roller to re-enter the platen ratchet. If the index
link is properly adjusted the detent roller will seat
between two ratchet teeth without causing any ro-
tational motion to the platen. Adjust the link to ob-
tain this condition.
4. Platen Overthrow Stop - With the index cam rotated to
its high point, adjust the platen overthrow stop to clear
the index pawl by .005" (Fig. 154) .
