LINEAR  SEGMENT  MECHANISM

	Inside Views of the Example:  V I C T O R Full-Keyboard / ArtDeco Model ( from below ... top-view )
6 LINEAR SENSORS are located under the 6*9 FULL-KBD ( observe the Key-Pins ) There are NO ZERO KEYS     ===>>>     [ 0 ] = NO KEY PRESSED ( In case of [0] the LINEAR SENSOR of this column is LOCKED ) Pulling the HANDLE will activate the PRINTING / CALCULATING cycle and all other SENSORS move forward until they are STOPPED BY THE PRESSED KEY-PINS Connected LINEAR GEARS drive the PRINTING & ARITHMETIC UNITS ... D I A G R A M    OF  THE  STOPPING  PATTERN
Observe the DISTANCES of the KEYS ( = 100% ) and of the SENSORS ( = 90% ) This "NONIUS PRINCIPLE"   ( known from Calipers )   R  E  D  U  C  E  S THE MOVEMENT of the LINEAR SENSORS   to  1/10   of the KEY DISTANCES
