I, CHARLES DAUntesey Langley GREENHALGH of 29 New Bailey Street, Salford
in the County of Lancaster, stationer do hereby declare the nature of this invention
to be as follows:-
My invention relates to files for filing papers or documents and consists in improved
arrangements for filing two sets of papers or documents of two different sizes
separately on the same file, so that either set can be referred to without disarranging
the other, my improved file being more particularly intended for the use of official
receivers and solicitors in bankruptcy proceedings, in which the accounts are engrossed
on sheets of large post folio size and other communications on sheets of quarto size,
but being of course also applicable to other purposes.
My improved file consists of two cardboard covers united by a flexible back. To
the back cover two cords with tagged ends are attached near the top end and the front
cover is provided with holes for the cords to pass through, so that they can be tied on
the outside. On these the papers or documents of the larger size are filed. About
two inches below these cords two other cords are attached to the back cover, on which
the papers or documents of the smaller size can be filed, the cords being ordinarily
tied on the top of the papers. Holes however are provided in the front cover opposite
this second pair of cords, so that when the files are closed, the cords if required can
be passed through them and tied outside and both sets of cords sealed up on the
outside of the file. The front cover is made with a flexible joint between the two sets
of holes, so that the smaller sized documents can be consulted without the cords
liolding the larger sized documents being unfastened.

I CHARLES DAUNTESEY LANGLEY GREENHALGH of 29 New Bailey Street, Salford
in the County of Lancaster Stationer 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 relates to files for filing papers or documents and consists in improved
arrangements for filing two sets of papers or documents of two different sizes separately
on the same file so that either set can be referred to without disarranging the other,
my improved file being more particularly intended for the use of official receivers and
solicitors in bankruptcy proceedings in which the accounts are engrossed on sheets of
large post folio size and other communications on sheets of quarto size but being of
course also applicable to other purposes.
On the sheet of drawings appended hereunto, figure 1 shows the file opened out,
figure 2 a top view of the file shut up and figure 3 a section of the file. Similar
letters of reference denote similar parts on the different figures.
My improved file consists of two cardboard covers a and b united by a flexible hack c.
To the back cover the cords d and e with tagged ends are attached near the top
end which are passed through the papers or documents and may be tied on the top of
them as shewn on figure 1 or passed through two holes and provided in the front
cover for this purpose and tied on the outside as shewn on figures 2 and 3. On these
the papers or documents m of the larger sizes are filed. About two inches below these
cords d and e two other cords h and are attached to the back cover b, on which the
papers or documents of the smaller size can be filed, the cords being ordinarily tied
on the top of the papers as shewn in dotted lines on the figures. Holes k and how-
ever are provided in the front cover a opposite this second pair of cords and so that
when the files are closed, these cords if required can be passed through them after
being passed through the papers of larger size and tied outside, and both sets of cords
sealed up on the outside of the file. The front cover a is made with a flexible joint o
between the two sets of holes, so that, the smaller size of documents can be consulted.
without the cords holding the larger size being unfastened.

Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said invention
and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what I claim is
The arrangement of files for filing two sets of papers or documents of two different
sizes separately substantially as hereinbefore described and illustrated by the drawings.
