displaced by virtue of this lateral displacement there is sufficient room for elongated transducers 130 shown in fig6 to eject droplets of ink on demand from the orifices 124 without cross talk between chambers as best shown in fig6 a 7 and 7a the chambers 126 or 126 39 may include either elongated sections 134 which are disposed at an acute angle with respect to the axis of ejection of droplets from orifice 124 as well as the axis of elongation of the transducers 130 or a elongated sections 134 39 which project along the axis of elongation of the transducers then bend 90 u00b0 towards the centerline or axis of ejection of droplets from orifice 124 and then bend 90 u00b0 again traversing along the axis of ejection of droplets from orifice 124 the inclined or elbowed elongated portions 134 or 134 39 of the chambers 126 or 126 39 create a fanning in effect so as to permit alignment of the groups of orifices 124 in a linear array while providing separation of the elongated transducers 130 note that only a single orifice is shown in fig7 and 7a since the sections represented by fig6 a 7 and 7a is through a single orifice however it will be appreciated that there are.
