587,986. Business stationery. YOUNG, A. Oct. 23, 1944, Nos. 20486 and 25498. Drawings to Specification. [Class 16] In business stationery of the kind in which invoices or similar forms are produced in a continuous series by repetitive printing on a paper band of considerable length, the title or non- variable parts are disposed in a continuous series either on the margin or on the reverse side to that reserved for the data section where particulars of transactions &c. are to be entered, so as to leave a continuous strip for the data section. Consequently, the length of paper used for each form can correspond to the number of entries made thereon subject to such length being not less than the length of one title section, thus resulting in a saving of paper. To facilitate separating typed forms, transverse lines of perforations are provided, one line at least to each title section. Where the title sections are on the reverse side of the paper, they may include subtitles corresponding to and in alignment with the data to be entered. In this event, the title sections are printed upside down, so that by folding over the top or bottom edge of a completed form, the sub-titles are visible and situated vertically above or below the corresponding data. The stationery may have title sections both on the margins and on the reverse face. Where copies are required, a number of stationery bands are superposed with carbon bands interposed between them. If the title sections are along the margins, the width of the carbon bands can be limited to the width of the data section.
