Flicking

 

What is Flicking?

 

Flicking is when an operator gets a hyphen in a word that is being typed

instead of the correct character.

 

 

Theoretically, the interposers should latch down under the latch springs

at the same time the cycle clutch is released. If the two conditions

above do not occur at the same time - for example - if the cycle clutch

is released before the interposer is latched down, flicking occurs.

It is acceptable for the interposers to latch down slightly After cycle

clutch releases.

 

To check adjustments:

 

1. Depress a character keybutton and latch down an interposer.

 

2. Place finger on top of cycle clutch link as in figure 54A and apply

slight pressure.

 

3. With a spring hook, engage cycle clutch sleeve (59-17) and pull

towards you until cycle clutch link moves down to edge of cycle clutch

keeper as in figure 54. There should be a zero clearance at point

(54-46).

 

4. Depress and check the following keys the same way: Brackets, =/+,

the numeral 6 key and the numeral 7 key.

If the clearance at point (54-46) is not the same (allowing a variance

of  .002") for the four keys, adjust the latch springs (56-11) up or

down until they are the same.

 

To adjust:

 

1. Slightly loosen screws (54-21) and adjust cycle clutch keeper up or

down until there is minimum clearance at point (54-46) between cycle

clutch latch pawl (54-20) and cycle clutch keeper (54-8)
