Abstract

The plates which define the throat of the head box are movable simultaneously to adjust the size of the exit throat while the angle between the plates is maintained. The adjusting means includes adjusting rods which are slidable lengthwise of the head box and transverse linkages which are pivotally secured to slidable locating members affixed to the plates. Adjusting screws at the throat provide a fine adjustment.
