MULTI-STATION HIGH-SPEED PRINTING MECHANISM

摘要

A high-speed on-the-fly type of printing mechanism which includes three printing stations for producing three separate records of a transaction. A slidably-mounted carriage supports the printing hammer and drives the type wheels which constitute the three printing stations. The carriage is reciprocally driven by a cam-actuated drive mechanism which is motor-driven. The type wheels are mounted on a pair of rod members forming an assembly which is moved by the carriage during its reciprocal movement.
