For use with a printing apparatus that has a plurality of printing rollers, at least one ink fountain, and at least one inking blade that is positioned adjacent one of the inking rollers, the inking blade having a plurality of adjusting keys thereon, an ink control system connected to the inking blade for controlling the adjustment the adjusting keys. The ink control system comprises a system unit for controlling the overall operation of the ink control system, an operator console for inputting commands which control the adjustment of the adjusting keys, a servo powder unit for controlling the adjustment of the adjusting keys, and a plurality of servo modules each of which performs the adjustment of one of the adjusting keys by actuating the one adjusting key.

An automatic guidance device for a self-powered cargo-moving vehicle is bolted directly over the steering column of the vehicle and is operated by a vehicle-borne sensor which follows a magnetic wire path, the guidance system having an automatic, sensor-directed mode, a manually operated power steering mode, and a manual override mode in which the guidance device is effectively disconnected and steering is undertaken by a direct mechanical linkage with the vehicle steering column.

A power steering device for a self-powered cargo-moving vehicle has a detented steering wheel which can be shifted by the operator to select either a manually operated, power steering mode, a manual override mode in which the guidance device is effectively disconnected and steering is undertaken by a direct mechanical linkage with the vehicle steering column, and, in one embodiment, an automatic, sensor-directed mode in which the vehicle is automatically guided to follow a magnetic wire path.
