Abstract: The electronic typewriter is of the `daisywheel` type and comprises a microprocessor, a stepping selector motor controlled by a position register for positioning the daisywheel 28, and a support frame for a correction ribbon. The support frame is arranged to oscillate from a down position for viewing purposes to an up position for the correction operation. A tab (104) moves up and down with the frame. The daisywheel rotates together with a sleeve member 97 provided with a stop seat 98. The tab (104), in the up position, urges a tooth (99) on a lever (101) into interference with the sleeve member (97), via a resiliently yielding blade (107) of the lever (101). During the correction cycles, rotary movement of the daisywheel (28) takes place when the support frame and hence the tab (104) is in its own position and thus without any obstacle. In the initialization phase, the microprocessor raises the support frame and tab (104) in advance of a command for complete rotation of the daisywheel (28).
