' IMPROVEMENT m Men-Hon or PRODUCING- PRrcn-cimrmnr sane'rs.

The Schedule referred to in these Letters iatentamd making part of the same.

We, \VILLIAM SMITH and HIRAM 1). Rooms, '6 hot Cincinnati, Hamilton county, Ohio, have invented a new and useful Manifold Writing and Printing Tablet, of which the following is a specification.

Nature and Objects of the Invention.

Onrinventionis particularly designed to facilitate the simultaneous production of two or .more copies or impressions of price currents and other periodical publications, whose contents consist in part of permanent and in part of. transient matter, such 'as reports or In connection with the above we employ as many slips of carbonized or manifold transfer paper as half the number of desired copies. We also employ either 'anordinary copying-press, or a printing-press, or a hand-stamp, and an agate, or other suitable stylus.

Operation.

The permanent matter, being arranged in form of ordinary type or stereotype, is'printed in thecustomary way, sheet by sheet, on any number of slips of manifold paper, which, being bound or united 'in a book, paclqor tablet, so as to registertruly, theoperator then interposes the proper number of transfer sheets of blackened paper, and, either by a stamp or with the stylus, marks down the quotations, in their properplaces on the outside page, so as to produce thereby as many fac smiles as there are leaves, above or be- I low which transfer paper has been placed.

Another mode of operating our invention consists in taking a pack ortablet composed of blank sheets of manifold paper, and, having interposed a sufficient number of transfer sheets, to imprint the permanent matter simnltancous'l y upon all the sheets thus treated,

by inserting such tablet'in a'common press having said matter set up in type or stereotype, after which the quotations are added with a stylus.

For the multiplication of price currents our preferred mode of operation is specifically as follows Taking .a suitable book or tablet of manifold paper,

all of whoseleaves are similarly printed with pcrmanent matter, we turn over the number of leaves corresponding with the nnmber of copies desired, and slip beneath them a piece of card-board. Over the lowest leaf we then place a sheet of carbonized transfer paper, turn down two leaves, insert another sheet of transfer, again another two leaves, and so on, placing the last sheet of transfer under the top leaf. The

desired report or statement being then printed or writ- .ten, or otherwise impressed upon the top leaf, in one of the modes already described, will be found repeated below on as many leaves as have transfer paper in contact with them.

' By means of our combined printed and written duplication fac simt'les of the kind spoken of can be mu.-

tiplied with a speed hitherto unattained.

Claim.

We claim As an improved process for producing price current and analogous statements in manifold, the use of carbonized paper for producing the transient matter in conncetionwith permanent printed matter, prepared in tabular form with reference to the said transient matter, all as hereinbet'ore explained.

In testimony of which invention we have hereunto set our hands.
