Abstract
A striker assembly for operating the printing hammer in a high speed impact-type line printer. The assembly is a simple, low cost unit having a minimum of components. The striker body is of one-piece molded construction having a head and neck portion. An armature backstop is carried in the head portion which may be externally adjusted for printer character alignment during operation of the line printer by exerting pressure on the head portion with resulting flexure of the neck. The backstop is self-aligning during such adjustment. The striker assembly is mounted to permit adjustment of printed character density during operation of the line printer.
