2. Ti It Selector Latches - Form the two stop lugs (Fig. 6 J)
above the ti It selector latches so that the latches wi II
reset simu Itaneously (under the latch bail) just as the
cycle clutch check pawl drops into the notch on the
check ratchet at the rest position (Fig. 62).

The adjustment can easily be checked by hand cycling a
zero-tilt character twice in succession. As the cycle
shaft begins to pass its rest position, place your finger
lightly against the cycle clutch check pawl while ob-
serving the selector latches. If the adjustment is correct
you should feel the check pawl drop into the rest position
notch on the check ratchet simultaneously as the two se-
lector latches reset under the latch bai I.
Form the stop lugs by tapping them up or down with a
hammer and screwdriver. The stop lugs shou Id be over-
formed slightly then brought back to the correct positio;
otherwise the "memory" of the metal will cause them to
restore toward their original position.
NOTE: It is very important for each selector latch to
receive the same amount of motion from the latch bail,
when operated,. in order to produce the proper amount of
motion to the tilt arm link for a desired selection. If
one of the stop lugs is adjusted too low, its respective
latch wi II reset early under the latch bai I producing an
excessive amount of latch clearance for that latch. This
means that this latch when operated will not receive as
much motion from the latch bail as the other latch wi II
when it is operated. This condition which is undesirable
causes the band width of the system to increase.
3. Tilt Arm Motion - Adju,st the ti It link up or down on the
ti It arm (Fig. 63) to control the tilt ring motion so that
the tilt ring will coarse align the same for a 3-tilt char-
acter as it does for a zero-ti It character.
In order to check this adjustment, it is necessary to
roughly home the tilt ring first. To rough home, half-
cycle a zero-tilt character and adjust the right
