.~.~ Manually controlled (e.g., for alternate-cycle feed)
DEFINITION
Classification: 271/257
(under subclass 256) Device wherein the interruption of feeding is the direct result of a willful act of an operative.
(1) Note. This subclass is for a device wherein it is desired to change from a condition during which sheet feed occurs during every cycle of operation of the feeder, to a condition during which sheet feed occurs only during every second (or every third or fourth) cycle of operation of the feeder. The feed is interrupted during the "non-feed" cycles at the will of an operative. This subclass is also for a device wherein it is desired to manually override the interrupted feed so as to operate the feeder for the purpose of clearing any jammed or excess sheets.
