Abstract: A continuously rotatable shaft is employed in a multipoint recorder for slidably and rotatably supporting a print carriage thereon in order to minimize the friction occurring between the print carriage and the shaft while the carriage traverses the shaft and as a print wheel supported by the carriage is rocked into and out of printing engagement with a record medium. A print pad wheel is provided with characterized gear teeth for meshing with characterized gear teeth of the print wheel. This print pad-print wheel construction allows each of the markers on the outer surface of the print wheel to be brought into proper precise color alignment with an associated colored ink pad formed in the ink pad wheel as the print wheel is directly indexed by a pawl and ratchet drive from one print position to another.
