ADJUSTMENTS
This bulletin contains requirements
and
adjusting procedures for the
maintenance of Model
15
printers. Adjustments are arranged in a sequence that
would be followed if a complete readjustment of a unit were undertaken. In
following such a procedure, parts or assemblies which are removed to facilitate
adjustment should not be replaced until all other adjustments are made which
would be facilitated
qv
the removal of these parts. If one adjustment is
changed, related adjustments should be checked because a change in one adjust
ment
may
affect related adjusbnents. These facts should be kept in mind when
a single adjustment is to be made.
The spring tension values given in this bulletin are scale reaaings
which should be obtained when Teletype scales are used as specified.
Springs
which do not meet the requirements specified and for which no adjus ting proced
ure is

l([SCELLANEOUS INSTRUCTIONS
TO
ADJUST
MOTOR
SPEED
Synchronous motors do· not require governors because they are constant
speed motors. The speed of a governed motor may be checked by viewing the tar
get on the zootor governor through the vibrating shutters of a speed irrlicator
(
tuning fork
)
provided for this purpose.
·
With the motor running
and
the target well illuminated, tap the speed
indicator lig htly to
make
it vibrate and hold it so that the shutters are close
to the eye. If the zootor is running at the correct speed, the target will
appear stationary.
If
the motor speed is too fast, the target
will
appear to
be moving in the direction of rotation;
a.OO if
too slow, in the opposite
direction.
NOTE:
There is a possibility of setting the speed incorrectly, due to
getting a speed multiple; i.e., the speed could be half the desired
