An addition to the basic component ar-
rangement of the ASR Set is the inclusion
of an Auxiliary Typing Reperforat or Set. Space
is provided in the cabinet for this completely
independent receiving unit. Refer to Part 3 for
a description of this set.
3.
COMPONENTS
The ASR Set is made up of seven basic
components which, because of operational
requirements, may vary in features from one
installation to another (Part 2). These components are briefly described in the following
paragraphs. A complete de scription including
principles of operation appears in the appropriate sections.
3.01
TYPING UNIT
The typing unit contains the mechanisms
necessary for translating electrical input signals into printed, alphanumeric characters or functional control operations. The unit
may be equipped to accommodate either friction
or sprocket feed paper, in single or multicopy
form, either rolled or fan folded. It includes a
stunt box that provides nonprinting functions
such as case shifting, carriage return and line
feed and, in addition, switching facilities for
remote controls, station selection, and other
a pplications.
3.02
KEYBOARD
3.03
The keyboard contains the mechanisms
for generating and transmitting a teletypewrite r signal. It also provides mounting
facilities for the typing unit, one of four tape
punch units, a motor unit, and the necessary
driving gears and cross-shafts. Typing and
perforating functions originate from the operation of keytops.
(a) Nontyping Perforator
TAPE PUNCH UNffS
(b) Typing Pe rforator
3.04
(c) Nontyping Reperforator
(d) Typing Repe rforator
Page 4
One of four different tape punch units is
available with the ASR Set. These receiving- only units contain the mechanisms that
translate electrical or mechanical inputs into
ISS 1, SECTION 573-101-100TC
('
perforations in the tape or both perforations
and printed characters. The tape prepared
by the units may be either fully perforated or
partially perforated (chadless).
(
3.05
Two of the units are perforators and are
operated and actuated mechanically by
the keyboard. The nontyping perforator prepares only perforations in the tape. The typing
perforator, in addition to perforating the tape,
types messages on the tape.
3.06
{
The remaining two units available are
reperforators, which are equipped with
a selector mechanism to receive inputs electrically. The nontyping reperforator prepares
only perforations in the tape. The typing reperforator produces perforations and types on the
tape. They may also be actuated mechanically.
3.07
The ASR Set may be equipped with an
Auxiliary Typing Reperforator Set. This
completely independent set contains the following
components:
(a) Typing reperforator unit.
(
(b) Base (with gears, terminal boards, controls; on some sets controls are on a
panel mounted on the front of the cabinet).
(c) Electrical service unit (installed in the
lower right side of the cabinet).
(d) Motor unit (a variable speed gear shift
mechanism is available with some units.
This allows selection of 60, 75, or 100 word
per minute speeds).
TRANSlVIITTER-DISTRIBUTORS
{
(
,,
3.08
A transmitter distributor contains the
necessary mechanisms to advance the
tape, read its perforations, and to convert these
into teletypewriter signals. The transmitter
distributor is installed on a separate base, but
receives motive power from the keyboardmounted motor unit. The unit is controlled by a
three-position start-stop switch which is accessible to the operator. The ASR Set uses one
of four available transmitter distributors:
(a) Fixed Head Single Contact: Contains a
stationary tape reading head and a singlecontact distributor. Output is sequential.
(b) Pivoted Head Multicontact: Tape reading head and signal distributor may be
actuated independent of each other by local or
remote control. Unit ~s always used in conjunction with a punching unit because the
pivoted reader can move along the tape, read
and transmit the last character PWlChed.
This unit is used frequently with continuous
tape loops. Output from the transmitter
distributor is in sequential or parallel form.
(c) Fixed Head Multicontact: Tape reading
head and signal distributor may be actuated independent of each other by local or
remote control. Output from transmitter distributor is in sequential or parallel form.
Signal distributor also accepts external parallel inputs and converts them to serial form.
(d) Pivoted and Fixed Head Multicontact:
This consists of two tape reading heads
(one stationary, the other pivoted) and a
single-contact signal distributor. The pivoted
head is mounted in line with and accepts tape
directly from the ASR Set punch unit. The
stationary tape head is accessible externally
for manual insertion of tape from any source.
This arrangement permits the combining of
inputs, such as standard and variable data.
Output from the signal distributor is in sequential form.
ELECTRICAL SERVICE UNIT
The electrical service unit serves as the
area of concentration for the wiring of
the ASR Set, and provides mounting facilities
for various electrical assemblies and components. It may include such optional assemblies as a line (polar) relay, line shunt relay,
and line test key, The set's main power switch,
convenience outlet and fuse, terminal blocks,
and interconnecting cables may also be included.
3.09
MOTOR UNITS
3.10
The motor units that provide mechanical
motion for the ASR Set are of two basic
types: ac synchronous and ac/dc series governed. The ac synchronous motor is used when
the power source is regulated; the ac/ de series
governed motor operates from either regulated
or unregulated power. The latter is required
where only unregulated power is available. The
units operate at the same speed and are rated
heavy-duty to accommodate the set's load requirements.
CABINET
3.11
The components of the ASR Set are enclosed in a floor mounted cabinet which
includes space for an Auxiliary Typing ReperfoPage 5
SECTION 573-101-100TC
rator Set and other optional equipment, and for
accessories such as paper and tape handling
equipment.
5.
OPERATION
')
GENERAL OPERATION
The components are interconnected electrically or mechanically to provide a
wide range of possibilities for sending, receiving
or storing teletypewriter messages. Electrical
connections between the components are routed
through the electrical service unit. Transmitted
signals are initiated through the keyboard or the
transmitter distributor (Figure 3 ).
5.01
4.
VARIABLE FEATURES
A wide variety of optional features are
available with the ASR Set. These features, which provide special, nonprinting operations or control facilities, or serve as an aid
in operation, are in most cases readily installed
in the field. Some of the features are described
briefly below.
4.01
(a) Horizontal Tabulator: Permits rapid
movement of the typing unit typebox to
predetermined positions on the copy paper.
(b) Vertical Tabulator: Advances a form to
any predetermined position within the
form.
(c) Form Feed-Out: Advances a form to
the first printing line on the succeeding
form from any point on the previous form.
(d) Automatic Carriage Return-Line Feed:
These functions occur simultaneously
should the sending station fail to initiate
them, when the typebox reaches the right
margin.
(e) Contact Mechanisms: A number of electrical contact mechanisms are available
to provide control of external equipment or
for other special applications. These include
code reading, timing, auxiliary, and lettersfigures contact mechanisms.
(f) Tape Feed-Out Mechanism: This mechanism may be installed on the tape punch
units. It operates automatically or manually
to feed out a length of blank or letters perforated tape for convenience in tape handling.
Tape feeding may be either interfering or
noninterfering.
(g) Back Space Mechanism: This mechanism, operated manually or with powerdrive, retracts tape back through the punch
block to allow erroneously perforated data to
be obliterated by replacement with the letters
code combination.
(h) Accessories: A number of accessories
are available to facilitate paper, tape,
and form handling, including low-supply indica,.tor alarms, special trays and shelves, chad
chutes, and paper winders.
Page6
')
5.02
Received signals are recorded by the
typing unit which also monitors local,
off-line transmissions. The tape punch (typing
or nontyping perforator or reperforator unit)
prepares tape on which received or locally prepared messages may be stored for future transmission by the transmitter distributor.
)
5.03
The keyboard, tape punch unit, typing
unit, and transmitter distributor receive
their motive power from a single motor unit.
A three-position mode selector switch,
mounted on the front panel of the cabinet,
permits the operator to place the ASR Set into
one of three operating conditions:
5.04
)
(a) Keyboard (K): P 1 a c in g the selector
switch in the K (keyboard position)
conditions the ASR Set so that messages may
be transmitted from the keyboard. All messages transmitted are recorded on the typing
unit.
{b) Keyboard-Tape (K-T): Placing the selector switch in the K-T (keyboardtape position) enables· the ASR Set to transmit from its keyboard and, at the same time,
record all transmission in both punched tape
and page-printed form.
)
(c) Tape (T): Placing the selector switch
in the T (tape position) conditions the
ASR Set so that operation of the keyboard
produces punched tape only. No external
transmissions occur. However, the typing
unit is operable and will record all received
messages.
5.05
The transmitter distributor is controlled

Control of the optional Auxiliary Typing
Reperforator Set is provided either by
controls located on the accessory control panel
on the front of the cabinet, or by controls located on the typing reperforator base and accessible through a cabinet access lid. The Auxiliary Typing Reperforator Set is connected to a
separate signal line circuit and may therefore
receive and record messages simultaneously
with but independent of other ASR Set operations.

TECHNICAL DATA
SIGNAL REQUIREMENTS
Code: Baudot (five level start-stop); sequential.
Input:
SELECTIVE CALLING
(1) Neutral - S e 1 e c to r magnets directly
connected to signal line, or through line
relay.
ASR Sets may be equipped to operate in
a selective calling system. Selective
calling operation is a method of message transmission control in which traffic is selectively
directed only to those sets actually concerned
with the information being transmitted. Each
set in the circuit, which may be standard line
or radio, is assigned an identification code.
The code may be made up of any character or
sequence of characters. Recognition of this
code, and other selective calling codes, is made
by the stunt box in the typing unit of each set.
The typing unit, upon recognition of the proper
code, will be placed in the select-nonprint
condition. When this occurs, direct printing is
suppressed while the selector mechanism and
the stunt box remain active. In this way, the
typing unit monitors signal line conditions but
does not respond, either to print or to perform

Adjust the four feet of the cabinet using
a 3/4-inch open-end wrench, until the
cabinet is level. If desired, a maximum of oneinch increase in cabinet height may be obtained
by this adjustment. This adjustment may be
modified at the time of station installation, if
necessary. See Figure 3.

(b) Make power and telegraph circuit connections to the cabinet, and attach the
various units comprising the printer set, in
accordance with the appropriate wiring diagrams furnished with the cabinet.
Note: At the time of station installation,
the screw located on the right rear of the
cabinet above the C40 terminal should be
connected to the common station ground.
3. 03
Insert the shaft of the power switch under
the right base angle of the cradle so that
the control handle protrudes through the hole provided in the right front of the cabinet. The shaft
rests on'the spring mounted under the right end
of the rear base rail. The arm bracket is to the
rear of, but just touching, the rear base rail of
the cradle. The shaft handle should point to the
right.
Note: In order to prevent transmission of
vibrations to the cabinet and thereby to aid
in reduction of the operating noise level, be
sure that all components of the set are mounted
in such a way that they do not come in direct
contact with the cabinet shell.
