Best drawing I can find that shows connection between selector mechanism 
and the punch slides.  I know this doesn't show the slides.  The connect 
in where that arrow point above the left end of the punch slide latch.

The push lever goes to the left if the bit is marking.

The punch slide latch then rotates counterclockwise dropping the left 
side where the punch slide has been held, releasing the punch slide to 
be pulled left by it's spring.

Here you can see the relationship between the latch and slide. Page 30 
showing how much the latch should clear the slide.

The part shown above the Toggle Bail Eccentric is the reset bail 
discussed quite some time ago.  It is used to push the selected punch 
slides back after the punching has taken place.  They should then be 
'caught' by the punch slide latch which by now would have been return to 
their clockwise position.  Soon after the selector starts a new 
character the reset bail is supposed to drop to be ready for punch 
slides to be released by punch slide latches.

The reset bail is a different part number when you have an automatic 
tape feed out.  That implies to me that it somehow acts differently 
during tape feed out.  If feeding blanks, I could see it staying up and 
preventing the slides going left.  I really haven't digested that part 
yet, and maybe it has nothing to do with the automatic (letters | 
blanks) tape feed out.  Maybe the reset bail isn't dropping far enough 
to allow selected punch slide to move left.  Going back to the clip from 
page 30 there's a clearance specified between the right end of the punch 
slide and the left end of the punch slide latch.


You talked about swapping punch mechanisms between two units. Remember 
the typing is in a different position between fully perforated and 
chadless units.

Clipped a bunch since my mailer complains if the size gets too big, 
which happens if too many images.
