Abstract
An arm for holding the impact stylus of a high speed dot matrix printer is fabricated from a single stamping which when properly folded defines two members having C-shaped cross-sections joined by a thin web. The web is folded around the stylus to bring the 4 legs of the two C-shaped members into overlapping relationship to define a hollow elongated and tapered arm having the stylus substantially wholly encircled by the web whereby after brazing the stylus is securely held.
