Abstract
A large type printer which continuously drives annular printing wheels having circumferentially spaced printing facets on their peripheries. The driving mechanism is a friction drive which may be overriden. Thus, the apparatus includes means for monitoring the rotational positions of each of the printing wheels and for stopping the rotation of the individual printing wheels when the respective facets are in printing position.
