Abstract

A print head assembly of the free flight, ballistic type comprising a wire guide subassembly and a solenoid drive assembly adapted to be precisely and adjustably interconnected by means of a novel flexible resilient parasol adapted to simultaneously adjust the spacing between the solenoid assembly armatures and the associated poles without effecting the magnitude of the biasing force imposed forces exerted on the armatures.
