of locking nuts on each stop screw so the upper characters
print on the same line as the lower case.

the adjustable stop so the cam release lever lug will drop
behind and clear the cam lug by the amount of the re-
lease lever lug width when tripped with the power off.

toggle bracket screws until the clearance between the
pusher and either pin on the toggle lever assembly is
equal without regard for the .actual amount of the clear-
ance. Recheck motion after any adjustment of these

key lever is fully depressed, the upper pusher arm can
contact the upper pin at a point 3/32" above the lower
edge of the upper pusher arm. The upper arm should not
override the upper pin.
