-1 ln the drawings there itself jto form two superposed leaves; an and a duplicate or boundleaffv ln manifolding salesbooks, it is frequently required that ,onlyl a portionof thearecord shall hav'ea multiple copy1 made thereon.

A practical manner-of meeting conditions is to cause a portion of the record surface of one of the leaves to extend out beyond the other of the leaves, which portion is adapted to .have inscribed thereon only that portion of the record of which a multiple copy is noti desired.

As illustrated in the accompanying drawings, the original orfree record leaf 2, of

each of the sheets of the pad l, does not Specification of Letters Patent.

Y practical device for `positioning the sheet of-transfer material beneaththfefree leaf of the pad l is the provisionof a means for 'connecting the transfer sheet tothe bound end 'of the pad, which means will be preferably? bound in the pad by staples 9. In -the'ern-l bodiment ,illustrated 'in the drawings, lthe attaching or connecting means comprises provided such that while 'firmly/holding .the transfer sheet in position for use beneath the an extended portion of the transfer.\sheet which is bound to the pad-` lf the'extended portion of the carbon sheet .is double faced 1 with `transfer material, the attaching means f Will further comprise a protector 13 Which- Will cover the exposed portions of the carbon surface to prevent vthe'hands being smut- Y ted thereby when the bool( isused.

. i Thisy attaching means will be'arranged sof,l l' ,as to permit arecord to be made y'upon-the. .portion 1Q ofthe record surface of the sheet' 8. If, h`ovvever,`the extended portion of the carbon' sheet beV of a material.havingno4 cai".

bon surface, as in the form Iillustrated in` F ig. 4, no vseparate protector '13 Will be ie- `quired. This] formof the device may be conveniently constructed eitherby 'removing thetransfer material from the upper surface lofan extended portion' of the" transfer sheet I Tj f or by using a sepaiatesheet having.v no trans# i Y fer material, 'to''W-hich In the form' illustrated inl -2, and

The inscription may be Written directly upon the protector and transferred to the exposed portion of the record sheet by means of the extended portion of the transfersheet.

ln vorder to permits theready removalof the original leaf of the upper sheet of the pad 1, fromV beneath the sheet of transfer material, a suitable notch as l5 Willbe provided in .the transfer sheet, if required, in

thepr'otector 13, in position to expose `a con' nervof the original leaf of the top sheet. The

manipulation ofthe' book is as follows:

,In order toset the booky With the leaves in Y the position illustrated in Fig. 1, -so as to be ready to have a record made therein, the

, corner'of theior'iginal leaf of the top sheet is .grasped at the point Where itis exposed by V50 I transfer sheet. rlhereupon the back leaf of the triplicating'pa'd is superposed upon the' transfer sheet andthe original leaf super,-v posed thereon. The book is novvin position the notch 15 andA removed from beneath the to have a record made, and any record which is inscribed 'upon the original leaf 2j will be transferredto lthe-triplicate leaf 5 and to the duplicate leafSbymeans of the upper and l lower faces of the transfer.- sheet respectively. Tliatportion' ofthe record which it is desired to have appear only on the duplicate leaf Willbe inscribed upon tlie portion 10 of the surface of' the duplicate leaf Athrough. the openings lt'and 11 in the modification shown in'igsl, 2 and 4, and diieoaose rectlyupon thesurface of the sup port 1 3 the modification shown in Thereafter the triplicate leafupon whichv the record has been made maybe inserted between the supports 6 and Y and the leaves 2 and 3 removed.

f lncases Where it is not desired that a triplicate copy of tlie record shall be made, a practical, eliicient and satisfactory book for. making duplicate copies may V-be provided by omitting thepadf of triplicate leaves. Under such circumstances, the trans- -fer lsheetsinay-be single faced,` if desired7 in Which case the modification illustrated in Fig. t Will prove economical as under such lcircumstances there Wouldbe no necessity; of

removing carbon vfrom the upper face. 1' @Thus by the. above construction are accomplis'hed, among others, the objects hereinbefore set forth.

As many changes could Abe made .in the above construction, and manyv apparently widely-.different embodiments of this invention could be made Without departing from the scope thereof, it is intended that all inatter contained in the above description orv shown inthe accompanying drawings shall be interpreted as illustrative and not in.a limiting sense.
