924 EVERYTHING FOR THE PRINTER Style 1=A Ruling Machine is for use in shops where there is consider-able faint or cross ruling, thus economizing the time of automatic strik-ers used in the same shop. It may also be used in small-sized binderies,where there is not sufficient work for an automatic striker machine.The operator turns the hand crank with the left hand, thus operatingthe machine by hand, while with the right hand the pen-beam is tiltedup and down, doing hand striking. Power may be applied, and steamattachments are furnished to order at an extra charge. vStyle i-A is asperfectly built in everj^ part as the mOvSt expensive automatic strikerruling machine. The difference in construction is simply leaving off thestriker parts and some other necessary pieces required on an automaticstriker machine. STYLE 1 SINGLE BEAM AUTOMATIC STRIKER RULING MACHINE.

Style 1 is used for faint or cross-lining when the striker is not ope-rated, and also for down ruling from cross or head lines when theautomatic striker is used for the purpose of leaving unruled head spacesby automatically raising the pens from the paper and allowing themagain to descend upon the paper, the pens beginning to rule immedi-ately upon touching the paper at a cross head line, and again beingautomatically raised from the paper and lowered upon the paper againsuccessively at distances prearranged by the positions of the cams,which are adjusted by the operator, who sets them in the circular-re-volving cam-head. This machine is for use on all classes of job ruling. The illustration shows the combined lay-boy and receiver—a devicefor receiving the paper (after it is ruled) in the lower portion of themachine. Gears are used in setting the striker—friction devices beingavoided because gears are more positive in the correct delivery of bothspeed and power. . 2=B, with new Mon
