A high-speed serial printer including a continuously rotating print drum having characters on its periphery, a hammer and carrier, and a belt for transporting the hammer and carrier parallel to the axis of drum along a line of print. A control system, including two timing discs, operates in synchronism with the drum. The first disc is indicative of the angular position of the drum and the second disc is to signal the hammer carrier to engage the transport belt at the start of each line of print. A double-ended transducer responds to the two timing discs to provide the appropriate signals for the printer.
