Matrices from these two magazines can be freely mixed with each other and with those from either of the two main magazines.

As a head or ad machine in the newspaper office, or for the ever-varying demand of book and job offices, the Model 26 has proved its ability to give quantity production of the highest quality under the most difficult requirements.

The auxiliary magazines have a capacity of 34 characters, which may be utilised for an alphabet and figures of any face up to and including extended 36 point, and medium condensed faces up to 60 point.

The main and auxiliary magazines are operated from one power-driven keyboard. The change from main to auxiliary magazine is instantaneously made and is controlled by the typewriter shift key method. Split main magazines may be used in either upper or lower position.

Change of operative position on magazines is made instantly by a single movement of a conveniently located lever, without interrupting distribution. Magazines can be shifted while matrices are in process of distributution.

Any magazine can be removed from the front of the machine and changed in a few seconds.
