Abstract
The tractor comprises a frame, a drive roller carried by the frame, a pressure roller and a carrier therefor. The pressure roller is biased against the drive roller. The pressure roller can be moved to be spaced slightly from the drive roller to enable paper adjustment or it can be moved to a storage position. The friction feed tractor has a paper edge guide which is automatically moved to a storage position when not in use. In their storage positions the friction feed tractor and paper edge guide act as paper supports for pin feed tractor operation.
