GRADUATED GOPYHOLDER GUIDE.

Application filed 0ctober17, 1921. Serial No. 508,317.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, LUCY Pnnsron BROWN, a subject of the King of Great Britain, residing at St. Louis, Missouri, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Graduated Copyholder Guides, of which the following is a full, clear, and exact description, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, forming part of this specification, in which- Figure l is a front elevation of a copyholder, showing my improved graduated copy-holder guide strip in position.

Figure 2 is a front elevation of the upper part of a typewriter.

t Figure 5 is a side elevation of my improved graduated copy holder guide strip.

The object of my invention is to provide a graduated guide strip to be placed on the horizontal cross bar or line guide or acopyholding device to aid the copyist in a'ccurate ly placing figures or wording'on the paper placed in the typewriter, the exact place or degree recorded by my graduated guide on ll ith these objects in view, my invention consists in the construction, arrangement, and combination of the several parts of my device, all as will be hereinafter described.

and afterwards pointed out in the claim.

in the drawing (1) indicates a. copyholder plate of a well-known type now generally used by copyists, which is manually operated up and down. I (2) is a stationary horizontal plain surfaced line guide bar in connection with the copy-holder to aid the copyist in pointing out the line-upon which she is WOlkiIlg. is my improved gradu- I that is on every typewriter. By the use of my improved movable grad- 'uated strip fastened to the plain stationary line guide bar of a copy-holder, it will be seen that a big saving in time and greater accuracy is efi'ected, because the typist can set my graduated strip to correspond with the same graduation on the type-writer. For instance, a copy of figures to be copied stands at degrees on my graduated strip, as shown in drawing. It is a very simple matter, therefore, to place the typewriter scale in a similar position. Beginning of sentences, addresses, signatures, etc., can be set in like manner, saving time and producing more accurate work, by'the aid of the movable graduated strip.

I am aware that minor changes in the construction, arrangement, and combination, of

the several parts of my device can be made v and substituted for those herein shown and described without in the least departing from the nature and principle of my invention. l

Having thus described my invention, what I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent is:

An attachment for a line marker of a copy holder comprising a graduated guide strip, adapted to yieldably engage. the line marker.

LUCY PRESTON BROWN.
