U-PLAKS AND EsTIMATlS FUERISHD"M WILL SET TYPE WITH MACHINE GLACIER INSTALLS A SIMPLEX Another Milesitone In the March of PropresH for Hood River Tome See the New Typesetter. Last week the Glacier Installed a late style Simplex Type Setter. The addition of this new and expensive machiurey la necessary to more fully meet the requirements for publishing a newspaper such as the enterprise and progreBsiveness of this community de mands. The largest possible amount of news matter must be handled, and hand composition Is becoming too slow in this rushing age. With the Simplex, we will not only be able to handle a larger amount of news but do it easier and better, hold ins I the forms open later and gotting tho oest or the news of Whe dav that wnicn comes in late In the day. We cordially Invite the readers of this paper to call at the offlce any tune during the dav and witness the operation of the machine. Be lieving our friends will be interested in knowing something of this tine piece of mechanism, we Dresent here with a cut of the Simplex, and a de scription which will enable any one to understand its working. ihe Dody of the Simplex consists of two cylinders, one above and rota ting on the other, having a common axis. In both cylinders, extending vertically their full length, are 90 parallel channels, those in the lower cylindor forming the magazine into which type distributes from the chan- OUR NEW SIMPLEX TYPESETTING MACHINE. nels of the upper, and is stored for resetting. The channels are slightly wider than the body of the type which the machine is made to set. On the forward side of each channel in the lower cylinder a series of steel strips are inserted and project part way across. They are called "wards", as they perform the same functions as the wards of a lock. The combina tion of wards in each channol differs from that in every other channol. Each type character in a font is given a combination of nicks corresponding with the combination of wards in one particular channel, and can enter this channel only. The central ward ex- ends the full length of the channel, and is cut off just short enough to permit one type to be pushed out at the bottom when the key is touched. The channels in the upper cylinder have no wards, so that lines contain ing all characters in the font will en ter any channel in this cylinder free ly. In each channel is a siloing weight, the function of which is to press liiihtly down on the line of deatl type contained in tho channel, so that when the pottom type comes to its proper channel in the lower cylindor it will drop quickly. These weights are lifted up when the chan nel is to be loaded, the lino of dead type inserted into the channel and the weights lowered again on top of the line. The channels in the upper cylin der are filled with lines of dead type and the cylinder is revolved step by step, bringing each of its channels in turn directly over each channel in the lower cylinder. At each step or movement of the distributer the bot tom type of each line of dead type is tested by the wards in the channels of the cylinder. Every type with a combination of nicks matching the combinations of wards in the channel over which it is brought drops down, while those differing in combination rests on the tops of the wards, they in turn dropping when the cylinder in its revolution brings them to their own channels. As the distributer can supply type much faster than operat ors can set it up, it is not necessary to keep it working all the time. The mechanism by which all this is accomplished is accurately made, and is wonderfully simple in its construc tion. When it is understood that each of the 90 channels in the upper cyl inder matches iwrfectly with each of the channels of the lower cylindor, this accuracy will be appreciated. This in itself would not secure proper distribution unless the upper cylinder were moved positively at each step to the point where the channels all coincide as described, held there rig- permit wliieta tho drop limy liuv This accuracy of movement is ol tained by employing a cam to impart the step-by-step movement to the re volving. Ihe cam revolves on shaft, the bearings of which are rigid ly attached to tho crosKheHil of the machine, which in turn is llnnlv at tached to a main shaft extern! iiiK 'inrougn ootn cylinders, lotion i unptirxou 10 uie cam inrottgn gtiars extending back to a shaft on the orosshcad driven by a belt or a motor. The cam works against rolls having Hearings on pins driven solidly int the top of the cylinder. These rolls, 45 in number, form a circle about four inches less in diameter than the cylinder. As there are jtiHt half many as mere are Channels, the cam in each revolution gives the cylinder two forward thrusts, moving it each time a distance equalling the distance between the channels. The rolls are shaped to conform to the shape of the cam; this insures the accurate movement of the cylinder. Tho rolls overcome friction, thus preventing wear on uie cam, and nils, tho part of we machine requiring greatest degree or accuracy, will work for years with out readjusting. On a solid upright, fastened to the top to the crosshoad, ami at t he low er end to a ring attached to the hot torn of tho lower cylinder, is a brack et upon which is placed a galley of dead type for distribution. The me chanism for tho channels of tho di tributlng cylinder with lines of dead type from this galley is also attached to the upright, and its shaft is con nected by gears with the shaft of tin- cam which movos the cylinder, so that the two parts work in unison. The working parts of tho londinu mecnantsm consists of un arm. tic uat ed by a cam, for lifting tlie weights In the channels of the ilistrilititinc cylinder: a plunger ror niishinu a sin gle line of dead matter into tho chan nel whou the weight U raised, which plungor is operated by an arm con nected with a sceond cum; and a devise for making tho parts operate whenever an empty channel comes to tho loading point as the distribut ing cylinder revolves. Theso parts are all driven by a single shaft, on which are two cams and the releasing mechanism. A galley of dead type lieing placed on the bracket, with the face of the type outward, tho distributer is start ed, If the matter boing distributed is leaded the leads are withdrawn by the plunger as it roturns, and are droppod into a receptacle below the loader. The pawl being disengaged, as before described, the vortical shaft now rests until another empty chiui nol presents itself to be loaded, The column of dead matter is moved for ward by a spring, bringing the next line in the galley into position to be loaded. All these movements are tier formed during the interval between each forward step of the cylinder. They are made quietly, and without strain upon the typo, each line lieing separate from the column in the gal ley before ixing carried into the channel by tiro plunger. The distributer is not delayed In itio loading, but rotates at its normal sjieed. if every channel in the dis tribnting cylinder should be empty when it is started, the loader would fill all in three-quarters of a minute In practice, however, there are gen erally but a few lines to bo loaded in each revolution of the cylindor. The lower case letters and other characters principally used are located in front of the operator, and as they becomi filled or emptied ho stops or starts the distributor by moving a conven lentiy located lever. When the galley of dead type becomes empty, it is the work of but a moment to take it off and substitute a full one of either leaded or solid matter. The sorts in the different channel distribute in about the proportion re quired by the operator. This depends somewhat upon the character of the matter which is being set and dis tributed; so provision is made for aulckly removing from its channel in tho lower cylinder any sorts which distribute faster than required, or for) replenishing the supply of sorts which do not distribute rapidly enough, tialleys ror containing a reserve sup ply of sorts are kept iu a cabinet sent with machine. On the setting mechaninin is a key board with ninety keys one for each channel in the cylinder each key be ing connected by levers and wires with a small plunger at the I ttom or s particular cliaiinei. ihe front- end of the plunger rests immediately idly an instant to ping of any type found its channel. behind the foot of the bottom type in us cnaunei, and when a key is uepressoa on the board, it corre sponding plunger is moved forward eanying one type out ahead of it. Ihe keys work very lightly, and their act ion is practically instantaneous. W hen ejected by the plungers, as described, the type is pushed upon the Hat surface of the disc which en eireles the bottom of tho channels Ihe disc revolves rapidly, aud the type ejected upon it are swiftly car ried to the right hand side of the ma chine, where a switch or guide de llects the type off the disc and upon a traveling flat belt, running parallel w ith the edgo of the disc at this point, by which the type is carried forward to a point directly back of the key board and somewhat above it. About half way between where the type leaves the disc aud the point to which they are conveyed to the belt, is a little devloe called the aeparator, con sisting of two rolU revolving rapidly in a direction opposite to the motion of the belt.

Between each word in the lino a three-em space was played from the keyboard. The operator increases or reduces tho width of these spaces enough to properly justify the lino, reading the line as he does so and correcting any errors which ho may have made in sotting. It is thus pos sible to produce matter remarkably clean and froo from errors. Any er rors which may be overlooked apjioar in the proof uio corrected inst. in h'l-iWvVlhW ,AMLvo t JliAUi. lyhLvU lug mechanism is the fact that the spaces and quads distribute directly into boxes located within easy reach when justifying. Those sorts return to tho point where they are noeded without handling or attention of the operator. In justifying, it is not nec essary to pay any attention to the way spaces and quads) are put in, as they will dslrihiite no matter which end or which side around. Having instilled the line the opera tor touches a thumb lever located be side the galley. The thumb lover re leases a pawl which engages with a ratchet on a rotating wheel under the keyboard. In one revolution of the wheel, the rule which stands behind the type lino is drawn down below it while a line pusher comes up in front of the line and carries ft into the gal ley, which rests on a support behind t he rule. The pusher now roturns to its position of rest, and the rule comes buck into position roady to support the succeeding line while being insti lled, the whole movement of these parts occupying but a moment. J On top of the line pusher, which car ries tho line of type into tho galley as above described, is a receptacle for leads, the mechanism is so arranged that a supply of leads can quickly lie inserted, and, being in full view, the operator can toll when tho supply is becoming exhausted and replenish it without disturbing any other part of the machine. If the matter being set is to bo leaded, the ojiorator moves a small thumb-nut to position and a lead is delivered liehiud each line as the lino pusher carries it into the galley. If more than one lead is re- u uired lietween the lines, the thumb lever referred to before is held out and tho pusher will continue to de liver lends until the dosired number has been delivered. If, however, the matter is to be set solid, the thumb nut is returned to its original posi tion, an the line pusher will convey the lines into the galley without de livering any leads. This devise has been found to lie a great convenience, as tho operator is relieved from in serting tho leads lietween tho lines by hand, and tho output of the machine is thus increased. When a galley has been filled it is removed from tho support by moving back the latch, and an empty galley substituted the typo of the galleys being all ready for proving, etc., when removed from the machine, without furthor lock-up or other handling, licside the justitler, aud w ithin easy reach, is a partition ed shelf, for containing rules, dashes, heads, etc. Every need of the opera tor has been carefully studied and means provided by which he can por form his duties without incouveui ence or loss of time. All parts of the machine have been designed in the most simple and sub stantial form, particular attention haing lxcn given to making them accessible and interchangeable. Lti plicntos or parts subject to wear aro sent with machines, and can easily bo substituted by the operator when those on the machine are worn. The averago compositor quickly learns tho requirements of the machine and how to meet them, and will soou attain average speed in operating. Mrs. II. M. Huxley and children. accompanied by Mrs. D.
