(under subclass 445) Subject matter wherein the type-bar-segment* is provided with a component located adjacent to the position at which the type-bar* member stops when the type-face* element has reached the print-point* position, which component acts to stop the type-bar at the print-point.
(1) Note. In most typewriters the type-bar has some momentum when its type-face is at the print-point. To prevent damage to the platen* by repeated impacts of the type-face against the platen. The anvil of this subclass is provided to absorb the momentum of the type-bar rather than the platen absorbing the momentum of the type-bar.
