<p>A tapered plate is provided for use in conjunction with the tapered axially movable spacer shaft and the fixedly positioned spacer head of a Linotype machine. The spacer head is protected and prevented from contacting the matrices when the shaft and the plate are assembled on opposite sides thereof. Axial movement of the assembly assures proper word-to-word spacing. The oppositely facing tapered surfaces of the assembled shaft and plate are always parallel regardless of their axial position relative to the spacer head. Means are provided for loosely coupling the plate and the spacer shaft with a permissable range of relative angular movement thereof.</p> |
