(under subclass 408) Subject matter wherein the typewriter is provided with means to apply ink* to the type-face* element.
(1) Note. The inker is usually in the form of an ink pad having ink thereon, the ink pad serving also as a rest to support the type-bar* member with the type-face in contact with the ink pad, and may have means for rotating the type-bar as it moves from the print-point* position (with the type-face upwardly oriented) to the rest position (with the type-face downwardly oriented).
