Type-wheel Operation (Model AN-E figure 5 )
Unlike the date/time stamp, the numbering typewheels do not operate independently of
the printing mechanism.
When the trigger releases the snap-action switch button, the number advances before
the stamping cycle and occurs in the following manner. A count begins within the circuitry
which continues for five cycles of the AC line. A Triac is switched on during the five cycle
count and powers a full wave bridge rectifier which energizes the rotary solenoid. After a
count of 3 cycles is made, the stamping cycle is initiated so that the stamping will take place
immediately after the number wheels advance. The rotary action of the solenoid moves the
actuator arm assembly
(a) and the connecting link (b) . The forward push of the connecting
link takes with it the actuating pawl swing assembly (c) .
