Ithas been found that which may be bound together by means of deby lapping the packets together in stepped relation, shown in Fig. 3, or by having them in horizontal alignment as shown in Fig. 4, the stationery will feed readily around a platen of a typewriter without becoming caught in the typewriter mechanism'.

In the form shown in Fig. 6 packets 25 are interconnected by means of two paper runners 26. This form of connection, however, does not permit the stepped relation which is desirable for the reasons discussed above. In theform shown in Fig. 7 packets 21 are interconnected by tabs 28. p g

In the form shown in Fig. 8 a continuous strip of record slips 29 is advanced on a belt provided with impaling pins 30. The binding strips 3| of the packets are provided. with V-shaped cutout portions 32 which engage the pins 30 and properly position the packet during the pasting operation.

The stationery shown in Fig. 9 is similar, to that shown in Fig. 1 except that the continuous strip .of record slips 33 extends laterally beyond the superposed slips 34 and is provided in its marginal portions with register perforations 35. v

The foregoing detailed description is given for olearness of understanding only, and no unnecessary limitations should be understood therefrom, but the appended claims should be construed as broadly as permissible in view of the prior art.

I claim 1. A manifold web comprising: a. continuous record strip divided into equal sections by trans verse lines of weakening; and a pack of record slips and interleaved transfer slips superposed on each of said sections of said continuous strip and permanently bound thereto between the lines of weakening.

2. A stationery web comprising: a plurality of individual adjacent packets of manifold stationery connected end-to-end by means of attaching flaps; each of said packets comprising a plurality of superposed record slips and interleaved carbon slips interconnected at their advanceends by means of a binding strip, said attaching flaps .end in the form of a paper flap formed integrally with one of the record sheets and pasted to the marginal portion of the next packet so that the packets may be separated after a writing operation by tearing said flap.

4. In a manifold web, a plurality of individual adjacent packets of manifolding stationery, each of said packets comprising a plurality of record sheets and interleaved carbon sheets bound together at one marginal edge, said packets being connected by a single thickness of paper at each end in the-form of an integrally formed extension of the bottom recordsheet which is pasted to the top marginal portion of the next succeeding packet so that the packets may be separated after a writing operation by tearing said extension.
