Abstract

A character-bearing disc operable with a printing machine having a central hub with radially extending flexible arm members, each arm member having a character disposed on an outer portion thereof. The arm members are reinforced at the inner ends thereof by means of longitudinally extending reinforcing ribs, the arm members thus having increased strength at their inner ends without sacrifice of the flexibility necessary to proper function of the disc.
