  10. — Addenda

    Pressure Roller/Motor Shaft Alignment (Revised)

    3/27/85 Applies To: All Tone Sensor PWAs (Part number 807-F0-005 later than Artwork Rev B)
    Integrated Circuit U3, formerly 74LS04, has been replaced with a 74LS424. When operated in conjunction with Crystal X1 and C16, U3 generates a 18.432 MHZ clock signal.
    Note: The 74LS04 and 74LS424 are not interchangeable.
