6. When a type face needs to be raised a considerable
amount, place the type maulers, or peening pliers,
on the front edge of the bar and peen (Figure 14).
To lower a type, slightly, peen on the back edge,
away from the platen (Figure 14), although a type
face may be lowered a greater amount by applying the
8-6 bar benders as in Figure 8, remembering to
keep the bar benders high on the type bar for the
greatest lowering effect.
7. Cut type only when necessary. Use caution to avoid
loosening the soldered type slug. Place cutter jaws
on slug 1/32" behind the type face and cut. Cutters
should have been adjusted to prevent their closing
to less than 1/16".
END TYPE BAR ALIGNMENT.
The end type bars may
sometimes fail to respond to the same treatment for rais-
ing or lowering if the bar has become twisted. If the bar
is twisted toward the platen, upper case will be heavy on
cylinder and if the bar is twisted away from the platen,
upper case will be light on cylinder. With the ribbon in
stencil position, hold the type face up to the platen and
determine if the upper case is heavy or light on cylinder.
Twist the type bar until the proper ring and cylinder re-
lationship exists between upper and lower case (Figure IS).
