In order to again raise theplunger it will be necessary to remove the oiler fromthe machine and invert it, so as to start the screwinto the plunger, to raise it, preparatory to refilling. It would probably be best to refill the oiler everysix months, thereby insuring the mechanism againstfailure from want of lubrication. The pencil.—The pencil is brass wire and when in. Fig. 5.

The pencil should project far enough through thedisc on the end of the holder to bear with sufficientpressure on the paper to make a line. Should it pro-ject too far through, it will withhold the disc fromcontact with the paper and will not revolve, which isnecessary in order to get a clear line. To be sure that the pencil is properly adjusted,withdraw the operating lever enough to remove thegripping rolls from contact with the paper, but notenough to remove the pencil, then turn one of thepaper spools so as to draw the paper under the pencil;if it is correctly adjusted the pencil will revolve andmake a clear line. Should the pencil not mark distinctly it can beimproved by slightly rounding the end on a smooth file,emery or sand paper. The pencil is soft and easilybent, but
