.~.~ By moving type-bars relative to frame
DEFINITION
Classification: 400/684
By moving type-bars relative to frame:
(under subclass 680) Subject matter wherein the typewriter is compacted by movement of the set of type-bar* elements within the typewriter.
(1) Note. In many typewriters having this means for compacting the typewriter, the set of type-head* elements are arranged to lie in a curved line while they are in operative position, the curve of the line being such that each type-head travels approximately the same distance from its rest position to the print-point*. For compacting the typewriter, the type-heads are retracted so they all lie in substantially a straight line or common plane.
