ASCII (decimal) 10 is a linefeed character. text editors often use both a carriage return character (13) and a line feed character (10) when starting a new line. the same logic a typewriter uses where you have to return the carriage (which moves the paper over) and then feed the paper upwards.
To set margins on a Smith Corona Typewriter Wordsmith, you can use the margin setter keys. Press and hold down the "mar" key and move the carriage to the desired position using the spacebar.
