.~.~.~ Scale for facilitating centering of print-line
DEFINITION
Classification: 400/705.5
Scale for facilitating centering of print-line:
(under subclass 705) Subject matter wherein the device is a measuring instrument calibrated in units corresponding to
character-space* distances, which instrument is used to help a typist to determine the midpoint of a print-line* relative to the midpoint of a record-medium*.
(1) Note. The purpose of this device is to aid the typist to center a particular print-line, for example, a heading, a title, etc., relative to the side edges of a page*. Any print-line may be so centered, but usually it is the first-appearing print-line of a page or the first-appearing print-line of a portion of text that requires a heading to distinguish that portion from other portions of the text; therefore, the centered print-line may appear anywhere on a page.
