Abstract
A three point suspension system and clamping mechanism for holding the face of a chase perpendicular to the optical axis of a multiple imaging camera/projector. The chase is equipped with pins which project from it and are located to bear against three pegs which project from the chase carrier of the machine to provide three point contact between the chase and chase carrier. The tips of the pins are adjusted to define a plane that is parallel to the plane of the glass panel on the chase which receives the flat copy to be photoreproduced. The ends of the pegs lie in a common plane which is perpendicular to the optical axis so that the glass panel of the chase is also maintained normal to the optical axis. The clamping mechanism is operated by pneumatic cylinders and allows the chase to be quickly replaced or rotated to a different orientation.
