Alining matrices; moulds.-In order that the line of type may always stand in the middle of the type-bar for varying thicknesses of body, the longitudinal median lines of the mould and of the row of formative characters on the matrices are always maintained in the same plane. This is effected either by moving the cap plate and the bottom plate of the mould through equal distances, or by keeping one part of the mould stationary and moving the other part and the matrices. The bottom plate 8, Fig. 4, of the mould is provided with projections 10, which are recessed to receive springs 11 and which serve also as end liners. Studs on the cap plate 7 enter the springs 11 and serve as guides therefor. The cap plate and bottom plate are moved to equal extents in opposite directions by wedges 13, 14 interposed between the plates and fixed abutments 15, 16. The wedges are connected by a cross-piece 17, which is moved by means of a screw 18. According to the second method, the bottom plate 8, Fig. 7, of the mould is stationary, and the cap plate 7 is moved by a wedge 13, which is connected by a pivoted cross-piece 17 to a second wedge 14, which has half the obliquity of the wedge 13 and serves to adjust the matrix support. The wedges may be of equal obliquity and the arms of the cross-piece 17 of unequal length. The wedges may be replaced by equivalents such as screws or eccentrics.
