14. A dividing and encoding apparatus for encoding justifying information in a justifying composing machine, comprising: first dividing and encoding switching means, second dividing and encoding switching means arranged for cooperation with said first dividing and encoding switching means, dividend and divisor input means comprising means for energizing the respective switching means in response to dividend and divisor input signals respectively, first and second output circuit means connected respectively to said first and second dividing and encoding switching means for producing an encoded quotient representative signal and an encoded remainder representative signal at said first and second output circuit means, amount left-in-a-line measuring means and a word space counter connected to said input means, a recording device including a record medium, means for advancing the record medium through the recording device in a given direction, a plurality of recording means in said recording device and arranged in a code channel relationship, means for connecting said recording means to said output circuit means and to energize said recording means for recording said coded output signals on said record medium in said code channel relationship in response to the output signals of said dividing and encoding apparatus, and means responsive to said word space counter and amount-left-in-a-line measuring means for preventing the recording of a word space code on aid record medium as the last encoded text information for any line of text.
19. The apparatus according to claim 14, wherein said amount left-in-a-line measuring means comprises commutator means connected to said dividend input means, and wherein said word space counter comprises further commutator means connected to said divisor input means, whereby said recording device is controlled in response to said dividing and encoding apparatus.
