Platen

Vintage matte paperstock was placed into a paper holder which hinged on to the text, before being rolled underneath the platen which would press downwards.

This avoids the transfer of juices into the middle platen, which is dedicated to cooking beef.

This according to Porsche sales chief Detlev von Platen who told a German magazine that Porsche could do this in the future.

Ackerman invented nonstoparagraphing as a space-saving measure. citation When the typist comes to the end of a paragraph, they simply moved the platen down one line.

A small rotating handle is used called the 'rounce' to do this, and the impression is made with a screw that transmits pressure through the platen.

Either mechanism caused a different portion of the typebar to come in contact with the ribbon/platen.

Gutenberg adapted the construction so that the pressing power exerted by the platen on the paper was now applied both evenly and with the required sudden elasticity.

In Epson printers, there is typically a large absorption pad in a pan underneath the paper feed platen.

The paper, rolled around the typewriter's platen, was then advanced vertically by the "carriage return" lever (at the far left, or sometimes on the far right) into position for each new line of text.

The platen was mounted on a carriage that moved left or right, automatically advancing the typing position horizontally after each character was typed.

The Selectric used a system of latches, metal tapes, and pulleys driven by an electric motor to rotate the ball into the correct position and then strike it against the ribbon and platen.

The top of the memex would have a transparent platen.

The typeball moved laterally in front of the paper, instead of the previous designs using a platen-carrying carriage moving the paper across a stationary print position.

Von Platen himself did not live to see the completion of the canal, having died shortly before its opening.
