Teadle platen: what is the name of this component?
I’m helping prepare a list of machines and equipment for disposal.
One component on a post-1920 Arab is broken and I need to be able to name it. It is the upper left large hook-shaped arm above and rear-wards of the ink disc on this illustration (numbered ‘11’) http://readingtype.org.uk/wwp/arab-instructions.html
Similar components exist on many presses so specific knowledge of Arab components names is not necessary.
Many thanks!
Part 42 of the Arab parts list: Ink duct lever.
Send me an e-mail and I’ll send you the PDf of the complete press and its parts list.
That’s really useful - many thanks!
Knowing the proper name enabled me to locate this page http://britishletterpress.co.uk/assets/arabparts.pdf
Curiously, previous online searches for ‘arab parts’ and a scroll through the britishletterpress site had not revealed this page.
