Functi ona I Keylevers
The functional keylevers are locked by the link on the right
end of the bai I. The link is fastened to the bai I by an adjust-
able clamp. The end of the link that extends to the front,
fastens to a be Ilcrank. The be Ilcrank pivots around the screw
that mounts it to the keylever support. As the link moves to-
ward the front, the be IIcrank is rotated in a counterc lockwise
direction. The arm on the bellcrank, that extends to the
front, moves to the right. The be IIcrank a lIows the lockout
comb to move to the right under its spring tension (Fig. 57 A).
The lugs on the comb move under their keylevers to prevent
them from being depressed.

Spacebar
Because the spacebar does not operate a key lever and cannot
be locked with the comb, a lock collar is fastened to the
space-bar shaft. When the keyboard lock be Ilcrank rotates
I
the arm on the bellcrank moves to the right under the step on
the spacebar lock collar. This prevents the spacebar from
being depressed (Fig. 58).
