(under subclass 422) Subject matter wherein a typewriter having type-bar* members that are movable from a rest position to a print-point* position is provided with means for freeing a blockage caused by two type-bars tending to occupy the same space at the same time.
(1) Note. The tendency for jamming is enhanced because all of the type-bars impress against the same print-point. Rapid typing will increase the probability that a previously impressed type-face* element will not have cleared the print-point before the succeeding type-face reaches the print-point, or the possibility that two type-face elements reach the print-point simultaneously. The resulting jammed condition is released by the means of this subclass.
