Abstract
A bar lens assembly for a reproduction machine is provided. The assembly includes a stiffening member provided with a mounting pin to which a bar lens array is mounted. The lens array is precisely located with respect to the mounting pin. A method for assembling the bar lens assembly is also disclosed wherein locating bushing is positioned over a mounting pin of a lens array mounting place and the lens array is provided with an opening through which the locating pin passes. The lens array is affixed to the mounting plate and thereafter the locating bushing is removed. The lens array is thereby precisely positioned with respect to the mounting plate.
