plate during the vibration and drop test. As a measure to alleviate this problem the
hooks of the pawl have been enlarged.
<2> The size of the packing case was such that there was no leeway whatsoever, and
so the packing case has been changed to a larger one.
<3> There was a possibility of peeling of the spacer which is attached to the cover of
the base plate due to interference with the packing materials. As a measure to
alleviate this problem, the interfering portion of the packing materials has been
cut away.

delivery mechanism section. The color of the de-curler has been changed from
black to blue.

caused by looseness of the casters. As a measure to alleviate this problem a
change in the dimensions of the holes in the base plate and the caster rail have
been carried out.
