Abstract: An electric motor and method for reducing or eliminating end play. The motor comprises an adjustment member that cooperates with an end lamina member to facilitate reducing end play. The adjustment member is slidably mounted on an armature shaft and inside an aperture of a portion of the end lamina tube to reduce or eliminate end play. Thereafter, the adjustment member is permanently secured to the end lamina tube. In another illustrative embodiment, the movable bearing retainer sets endplay and also retains brushes in an open position prior to, for example, assembly of the motor.

Abstract: A method for reverse order printing. The control instructions that direct printing of a document on a printer are used to create journal files of the document, with each page of the document having its own journal file. The journal files are then accessed in reverse order and sent to the printer to produce the document in reverse order. In one embodiment, a frontend is used to trap the control instructions and then a player accesses the journal files. In another, the graphic device interface and the printer driver are used.
