ment contemplates two distinct means of ad-
justment. The first means are those already
described-, namely,, the ribs r2 on the-liner,
which may be engaged r with any desired
5 spaces B2 on the cap, thiy adjustment, how-
ever, being limited by the necessary separa-
tion of the respective ribs and spaces, which
we willsay for example cannot be less than
a certain predetermined amount, as indi-
10 cated by the longer or principal scale marks
designated by the numerals on the scale J.
In other words, due to the necessities of con-
struction, it may be assumed that the mini-
mum adjustment of the liner E with refer-
15 ence to the cap B is that corresponding to
the distance between two of the principal
scale marks, which may be taken as the uni-
tary capability of these adjusting means.
Thus in Fig. 1, the liner E is shown as ad-
20 justed to the scale mark 8, and it, of course,
may be moved in either direction, say to the
point 9, but it cannot be moved to a minor or
intermediate scale mark, such as 8. There-
fore to secure the minor as well as the prin-
25 cipal adjustments that may be desired, I
provide the second form of adjusting means,
which enable the longitudinal setting of the
cap B with reference to the end pieces C and
D. These means comprise the transverse
36 grooves B3 near the end of the cap B, ar-
ranged to engage the transverse ribs C on
the end piece C, the, grooves B' and ribs
C' being respectively separated to an extent
sufficient to give the half-unit adjustment
35 when desired. Thus in Fig. 1 the two cen-
tral grooves B3 are shown in engagement
with the ribs C', whereas in Fig. 2, the two
extreme grooves are shown in engagement
with the ribs, this difference in position be-
40 ing sufficient to move the liner into registra-
tion with the scale mark 81. It will thus be
noted that the end pieces C and D not only
serve to adjust the mold cap B toward and
away from the body portion A, in order to
45 vary the width of the mold slot, but in addi-
tion serve: to maintain the mold cap B in
its different longitudinally adjusted posi-
tions.
It will be seen that due to these combined
50 means I am enabled to secure substantially
every variety of length adjustment that
may be desired, the unit adjustment being
preferably effected by the relation of the
liner to the cap, and the half-unit adjust-
55 Trent by the relation of the cap to the ehd
piece. In order. to secure the correct fore
and aft relation of the cap to the mold, the
end of the cap is formed with the short lon-
gitudinal recesses B0 adapted to engage the
60 short-longitudinal ribs C" and D0 on. the
respective end pieces in any adjusted posi-
Lion of the cap.
As already stated, I have shown my in-
vention only in preferred form and by wayof example and as applied to a linotype ma- 65
chine, but many modifications and changes
in its construction and mode of adaptation
will suggest themselves to those skilled in
the art without departure from its scope.
Having thus described my invention, its 70
construction and mode of operation, what I
claim and desire to secure by Letters Patent
of the United States is as follows:
1. A slotted mold comprising upper and
lower walls, one adjustable relatively to the 76
other lengthwise of the slot, and a part ad-
justable relatively to said. walls lengthwise
of the slot and constituting one of the end
walls of the mold proper.
2. A slotted mold comprising a body por-80
tion, a cap portion adjustable relatively
thereto lengthwise of the slot, and an inter-
mediate-liner adjustable relatively to the cap
portion lengthwise of the slot.
3. A slotted mold comprising a body por- 85
tion, a cap portion, and an intermediate
liner attached to the cap portion and ad-
justable relatively thereto lengthwise of the
slot, the said cap portion being shiftable
lengthwise of the slot to vary the adjustment 90
of the mold proper as determined by the
liner.
4. A slotted mold comprising a body por-
tion, a cap .portion, and an intermediate
liner, the said"cap portion and liner being 95
both adjustable lengthwise of the slot, one
according to a given typographic unit and
the other according to- a fraction of such
unit.
5. A slotted mold comprising a body por- 100
tion, a cap portion formed on its inner face
with projecting ribs whose separation cor-
responds to a typographic unit, and an in-
termediate liner recessed to receive the pro-
jecting ribs of the cap portion and adapted 106
to be set in different positions thereon, the
said cap portion being adjustable lengthwise
of the slot according to a fraction- of such
typographic unit.
6. A slotted mold comprising a body por- 110
tion, a cap portion formed on its inner face
with projecting ribs lying within the mold
slot and whose separation corresponds to a
typographic unit, and further formed exte-
rior to the mold slot with recesses whose sep- 115
aration corresponds to a fraction of such
unit, a liner recessed to receive the project-
ing ribs of said cap portion and constituting
the end wall of the mold proper, and a part
provided with ribs to enter the exterior re- 120
cesses of said cap portion and constituting
the other end wall of the mold proper.
7. A slotted mold comprising a body por-
tion,.a cap port ,an intermediate liner at-
tached to the cap portion and adjustable 125
relatively thereto lengthwise of the slot, the
said cap portion being shiftable lengthwise
of the slot to vary the adjustment of the2
