Abstract
An apparatus () applies pressure against a platen () using a linked series of contact members arranged in a closed loop. A drive apparatus rotates the loop about a support mechanism, thereby imparting movement to the linked series of contact members. The support mechanism is disposed to force a plurality of the moving contact members simultaneously into compressive contact against the platen ().
