The next thing is to set the lower end of the magazine in relation to the rods J, Fig. 21.
First throw the rods into the verges; then touch the first and last keyboard buttons, which are lower case “e” and “—”; then turn rubber roller until the “e” and “—” rods are at their highest point; then raise or lower the magazine by screws in channel-plate support A (Fig. 20) and on column R (Fig. 5) until there is about 1-32 inch between the key rod and verge at point 8 (Fig. 32); then tighten the check nuts B on screws A (Fig. 21).
To Set Distributer Box Lift.
Turn out screw A (Fig. 20) until the lift C (Fig. 20) will not come down low enough to pick up the matrices; then turn the screw A (Fig. 20) until the lift C will just pick up all the matrices and tighten check nut on the screw. This will allow all extra motion to be on the upward motion which carries the matrix that much higher up into the distributer screws, so there would be little danger of bending the ear of the matrix.
