No. 5,
Fig.

press the plunger and hold in position. It is used for the same general
purpose as the ratchet release lever (i.e., to free the platen and enable

desired
point.)
However,
there
is
an
important
difference.
After
the
plunger
is
released
normal line
spacing is resumed from this point.
THE
BELL
Just before you reach the end of the line the bell will ring. This

the
key-levers
automatically lock.
MARGIN
RELEASE
If you depress the margin release No.
21, Fig.

to
type
additional
letters
to
finish
a
word,

the
position of the margin stop.
RELEASING
THE
CARRIAGE
When you desire to move the carriage freely to any
position,
the
carriage release lever and the paper release lever (Nos. 9 and
10,
Fig. 1) are pressed together with thumb and forefinger. It is important
that
the
carriage
should
again
be
stationary
before
releasing
these
levers.
