One Super Wide Print Straightener
6-66
This proposal is submitted in response to a request by Government representatives
who also made available to the Development Objective dated
November 8, 1965. A straightforward approach is presented here in the belief that these
proven principles of operation would work well.
proposes to design and manufacture one Super Wide Print
Straightener in accordance with the above design objective and to supply monthly reports
and drawings which may be used for procurement purposes. A basic method of standard
print straighteners shall be used in the straightener which shall accept prints up to 30
inches in width` The print straightener shall operate by passing the print over heated
water and then reverse bending the print around a small diameter roller.
The proposed straightener shall be constructed with an integral stand or cabinet
with casters and shall be made for a nominal working height of 42 inches. The feed plat-
form and the take-up tray shall be made to fold against the table when not in use. The
length of the unit shall be approximately 28 inches when the feed and catch trays are lower-
ed to permit passage through a standard 30 inch door. The estimated weight of the unit is
140 pounds. It shall operate on 117 VAC electrical power.
The paper path shall be inclined upward over the moistening area, and then inclined
downward as it comes from the flatening roller. The downward paper exit will aid the
paper collection. The water container shall be readily removable for cleaning and shall
have a valve and length of hose for draining without removing the container from the stand.
The feed tray shall have adjustable guides to assist the operator to insert the prints straight.
The print straightener shall be operable with standard tap water; however, the use of
deionized or distilled water will be recommended to eliminate evaporative deposits on the
water tray. The water will be heated with a thermostatically controlled adjustable heater
(about 1, 200 watts) and shall have a thermometer for actual temperature indication. A
safety switch to shut off the heating element when the water level is below a predetermined
level shall be provided.
A continuously adjustable speed motor with a maximum paper transport speed of about
30 feet/minute and an adjustment range of at least 10 : 1 shall be used.
