Application filed October 8,

My invention relates to mold liner gauges and mOre'partic-ularly to gauges for setting the liners/to determine the linograph, or required length from four number of ems ems to twenty six ems and from. four and'one-half ems to twenty-six and one-halfv ems 'by which a measure of forty-six one liner on single slugs.

rier 5 and the adjuster 17 together, the car-f rier 5 has a groove in the central part of the upper surface of the bottom and the ad juster 17 has a tongue 18 which runs in this groove, thus aligning the adjuster 17 and carrier 5 together for inward and out ward movement of the adjuster. :This tongue will bank the adjuster against the mold. The wall of the adjuster 17 is thick enough to bank against the mold cap 19. The adjuster 17 has one fixed arm 20 and an adjustable arm 21 for clamping the liner which is to be positioned in the mold. The adjuster has a groove 22 in its under face and the arm 21 is integral with a slide 23 which moves in the groove 22. The adjuster 17 has a slot 24 which extends through the adjuster to the groove 22. A spring 25'acts on'the movable arm 21 to clamp the liner against the arm 20. The spring 25 seats against the wall of the slot 24: and against a seat 26 which is attached to the slide 23. The slide 23 and the arm 21 are moved against the tension of the spring 25 by a thumb lever 27 which is fulcruined on the adjuster 17 and projects between a stud 28 which is rigid with the slide 23) and the seat 26. A finger rest 29 is rigid with the adjuster 17 for convenience in actuating the thumb lever 27 with the thumb. l Vhen the arms 20 and 21 are opened by pressing on the lever 27 the arms will receive either one of the liners shown in Figs. 3 and 4.

The upper frame member 1 of the mold has a graduated and numbered pica scale 30 and a notched scale plate 31. The liner is positioned according to these two scales. After the liner (which is carried by the ad juster 17) has been placed inthe mold, the mold cap is clamped down on the mold and the gauge is removed. The mold is now ready for, casting a slug of the required length. i

' The carrier 5 is provided with a pointer 32 that comes directly over the pica scale, and when the carrier is moved in any direction to the line to be set, this pointer 32 points to the figure ordigit required, and to the right of this pointer 32 there is a thumb latch 33 that is to bepushed into the notch in'the scale plate opposite the point for looking thebox or carrier and holding it in this position until'fthe-liner is placed and the lVhat I claimiss- I Y 1.
