ABSTRACT:
Mechanism responsive to discrete character signals is provided for selectively rotatably positioning a type disc clockwise or counterclockwise from a home position to present the selected character on the type disc for printing. The mechanism comprises a driven lever pivoted intermediate its ends which is cycled about its pivot in response to each character selector signal from a keyboard. When cycled, one of the arms of the driven lever is adapted to drive an associated rocker from a rest position and through its other arm is adapted to allow an associated rocker to be driven from a rest position. The movement of the rockers, the magnitude of which is determined by interposers representative of characters which are selectively interposed between associated arms and rockers at various distances from the pivot of the driven lever, controls the pivotal movement of associated frame supported crank levers spring urged against the rockers. The crank levers carry pulleys about which a cable is trained with one end of the cable secured to a frame part and the other to a spring drum on the type disc shaft thereby to rotate the type disc clockwise or counterclockwise according to which of the crank levers is pivoted and to a position corresponding to the angle of pivoting thereof.
