    General parts questions

    Hi all,
    I have been stuck using MS Word etc. forever and am afraid to say that I have forgotten the names of many of my typewriter parts.  I got this pic from [url]http://idreamlo-tech.blogspot.com/2013/05/psycho-typewriters.html,[/url] another forum member.  Specifically, I need to know what this part is called -- the thing with the numbers that holds the paper on the platen:

    Anyone?  Thank you.  MCC

    It's called a "paper bail". The numbers - typically - is a character count and should match those on the margin scale, if the machine has manually set margin stops.
