ESCAPEMENT
The universal bar transfers motion from the type bar to
the escapement mechanism. It allows the carriage to move
one space under main spring tension for each type bar
stroke. The escapement mechanism uses two pawls operat-
ing in a rack having one tooth every two spaces. As a type
bar is driven toward the platen, it pushes the universal bar,
the trip link, and the bottom of the trip lever to the rear.
This action rocks the trip lever. The pawl spacer (located
between the pawls) is driven forward against the tail of the
escapement pawl that is holding the escapement rack. The
pawl is tripped out and is snapped about
~"
along the rack
to the next tooth. The other pawl holds the rack and car-
riage (Figure 6).
