MANIFOLD COPYING-=BOOK.

SPECIFICATION forming part of- Letters Patent No. 252,646, dated January 24, 1882.

Application filed November 8,1881.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, JOHN ROBERT CARTER, of the city of Toronto, in the county of York, in the Province of Ontario, Canada, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Manifold Copying-Books, of which the following is a specification.

The object of the invention is to provide a check-book in which the black leaf used for transferring writing from one page to another need not be handled and will not have a tendency to curl up after a number of leaves have been torn out; and it consists, essentially, ofa

lack-leaf check -book composed of double leaves, one half of which are bound together, while the other half are folded in as fly-leaves, both being perforated across, so that they can be readily torn out, the-black leaf being bound into the book next to the cover and provided with a tape bound across its end, the said black leaf having the transferring composition on one of its sides only.

The drawing represents my black-leafchcckbook, the cover being held open by one hand, the fly-leaf being raised by another, and the black leaf folded back, so as to show the transferring composition 011 its bottom side.

A is the cover of the book. B is a fly-leaf attached to or forming part of the leaf C. The leaves B and C are separated by perforations running across the crease. Similar perforations running across the leaves 0, near the binding, enable this latter, leaf to be torn out, leaving onlya stub, D.

E is the black leaf, bound with the other leaves, but next to the cover A. I This leafhas a transferring composition on its under side only, and is provided with a tape, F, bound across its lower end, as shown. This tape enables the black leaf'to be folded back or raised without soiling the fingers. then the book is about to be used the black leaf E is laid flat upon the face of the leaf O, the transferring (No model.)

composition on the under side of the leaf E resting on the face of the leafC. The leaf B is then allowed to rest on top of the black leaf E, and when the necessary memorandum is written upon the leafB it is transferred onto the leaf O. The leaf B may then be torn from the leaf 0 and the latter leafremoved from the stub. Adouble leaf corresponding with B and G will then be exposed and'the operation repeated, as described.

It will be seen that a book made in this manner will be less bulky than if all the leaves were bound into the stub, and there would be less likelihood of the black leaf becoming crumpled up than ifit were placed in the center and the leaves removed from the stub on either side.

lam aware that black leaves are med in other forms of books used in transferring writ.- ing from one page to another; but they are eitherloosein the book,and are therefore easily lost and are dirty to handle, or are placed in the center of the book and the leaves numbered on either side of it, which latter arrangement is faulty from the fact that the space left on each side of the black leaf when the leaves are torn out causes the black leaf to curl up and become unsatisfactory in its operation.

What I claim as my invention is- A black-leafcheck-book composed of double leaves, one half of which are, bound together,

wvlrilo the-other half fold in asfly-leaves, both being perforated across, so that they-can ri-a'dily be. torn out, and the black leaf bound into the book next to the cover, and provided'with the tape secured across its end, the. said black leaf havingthe transfer ringcomposition on one of its sides only.
