Laboring on Labor Day by adjusting a Tippa S

Adler Tippa S (1969) with Ransmayer Rodrian (Ro85) Pica Cubic.  Almost identical to the CSA Pica Cubic on my Facit TP2.

Original out of line upper and lower case letters.  Using the line gage I then used the Ll and Ii to align.

 I work one end of the carriage and then the other end until both are aligned.  I use the _____ underscore to ensure the alignment of the line and that will show which case is out of alignment.

After a bit of trial and error alignment is nearly 100%.

Left carriage track end adjustment screws.  Out brings the lower case up and raises it on the line.

Right end of the carriage track.

I needed to replace the broken knob so I broke off all of the remaing plastic and used a channel module equalizer adjustment knob from an audio mixing console as a replacement.

New Job; Same City

Now I noticed the typos.  Too late. 

One Petition Worth Signing

I am not generally moved by signing political anything.  However I get p----- everytime I need to use my SSI card for ID. My card has right across the top "NOT TO BE USED FOR IDENTIFICATION"  yet many government agencies, businesses, and medical facilities insist on it.

This petition is to prevent the requirement for using an SSI card for ID.

I encourage all U.S readers of this blog to sign the petition.  One small way we can all help to elimitate ID theft.

This petition is up almost a month already and (still) only has less than 10,000 signatures.
