you will letter.
(9) Lower the pen gently to the surface of the drawing paper.
(10) Raise or lower the scriber arm by turning the adjusting screw
until the tip of the cleaning pin within the pen just touches the drawing
surface. Tighten the locknut when the pen reaches the desired height.

To prevent blotting, make this adjustment before inking the pen.

(12) Fill the reservoir of the pen with ink. Use the same procedure

drafting instruments.

(14) Gently lower the pen to the drawing surface after you have
inserted the tail and tracer pins into the proper grooves.

the characters. Be sure to keep the tail pin in the straight groove.
e. Caring for the Leroy Set.
(1) If you must discontinue lettering for a short period, cover the
tip of the pen with moist cotton while it is still in the scriber. This
ensures smooth lettering and ink flow when you resume work.
