A ribbon and correction tape are separately mounted on a typewriter for movement in closely spaced parallel planes from a position below a line of impact along a line of print to an elevated position opposite said line of print. To minimize interference and malfunctions during relative movement of the ribbon and tape during elevating movement of one, the ribbon and tape are supported at an acute angle to one another, thereby to move in scissor fashion relative to the other.

Malfunction preventing arrangement of ribbon & correction tape

Function controlled raising and transporting mechanism for the selective control of a print ribbon or correction tape by means of a power drive and freewheeling clutches operative to effect print ribbon or correction tape transport incident to carriage motion in print direction only. In certain commanded functions such as spacing, tabulating, etc., both the print ribbon and correction tape transports are disabled by moving output elements of the freewheeling clutches to intermediate clutch disabled positions to thereby realize optimum utilization of the ribbon and tape capacities.

Mechanisms for selectively raising and transporting print ribbons and

A method and apparatus for indexing the print hammer of typewriters or the like having a carriage supported type matrix positionable in X-Y directions to present a selected character for printing wherein the matrix positioning motor is used to index the hammer in advance of matrix positioning movement.
