I, HARRY MUDD, of 107, Brudenell Road, Hyde Park, Leeds, in the County of
York Cashier, do hereby declare the nature of this invention and in what manner
the same is to be performed, to be particularly described and ascertained in and
by the following statement:-
My invention has for its object improvements in or connected with memorandum
or other books by which I distinguish between those leaves of such books which
require attention and those which have already been attended to and are not then
in use.
This I accomplish in a perfectly simple manner and without materially
increasing the cost of the books.
In order that my invention may be clearly understood and more easily carried
into practice, I have appended hereunto one sheet of drawing upon which I have
fully illustrated the nature of my said improvements.
Figure 1 is a view of an ordinary memorandum book partly used shewn open
and having my invention applied thereto.
Figure 2 is a view of the exterior of a memorandum book partly used and shewn
closed.
In carrying my invention into effect I perforate the leaves of the memorandum
book diagonally across either the bottom corner as shewn at A by Figure 1 or
the top corner as shewn by F Figure 2 or in any other position so long as the
perforated part can readily be torn off as illustrated at B thereby shewing at a
glance that the leaves E from which they have been torn do not require attention
thus saving reference to the whole book to find which leaves require attention
and which are finished with. The perforations may be arranged diagonally or
otherwise across the outside top, bottom, or both corners, and if desired the cover C

page_text: of the book may be treated in the same way as shewn at F Figure 2, which when
the whole of the corners of the leaves have been removed enables
the corresponding part of the cover to be removed thus indicating that the
whole book is finished with. In place of the perforations I may treat the leaves
or cover in any other suitable manner to allow the parts of the leaves or cover to
be easily removed.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed I declare that what I
claim is:
1st. A memorandum or other such book having the corner, corners or other suit-
able parts A of the leaves E perforated to allow of the easy removeal of the parts
perforated for the purpose of ready reference substantially as herein set forth and
illustrated,
2nd. In combination with Claim 1 the cover C having the corner or other
suitable part E perforated for removal for reference substantially as herein set
forth and illustrated.
Datad this 2nd day of December 1898
