No. 20892. — 22nd March, 1906. — WILLIAM HAROLD
THOMAS, of 64 Pitt Street, Sydney, New South Wales, Austra-
lia, Agent (nominee of William Hermann Scharf, of 156
St. Antoine Street, Montreal, Canada, Manager). Improve-
ments in linotype-machines.

Extract from Specification.—The present improvements
have to do particularly with the composing-mechanism. The
matrix-releasing mechanism which forms a part of the com-
posing-mechanism generally includes power-supply devices
for actuating the same, the finger keys merely serving to place
the mechanism under the control of the power-supplying
devices. For this purpose it has been customary to employ a
continuously rotating drum to co-operate with cams cor-
responding with the different matrices, which cams were re-
leased by the keys so as to come in contact with the drum
and be rotated thereby. The provision of all of the cams re-
quired for this purpose and of the continuously rotating
drum and power connections therefor not only renders the
assembly of the machine expensive and difficult in the first
