ABSTRACT:
A set of flexible endless printing bands are arranged in two rows spaced in tandem relation for simultaneously printing two lines of characters. Each band in each row is supported by a corresponding indexing gear which includes a thin flange portion projecting outwardly between adjacent bands. A row of corresponding idle gears is disposed between the rows of printing bands, and each idle gear connects the two indexing gears supporting a corresponding set of bands in the two rows. A band indexing mechanism is axially movable within one row of indexing gears and provides for simultaneously indexing each set of corresponding printing bands. Each endless printing band may be molded with a series of long pads each supporting a numerical printing character and integrally connected by thin flexible link portions and short pads carrying visually readable characters. Two non-numerical printing characters are carried by relatively shorter pads which are integrally connected by an elongated link forming a visually readable blank within the printing band.
