To form the design for the puzzle a piece of paper or other pliable material is
folded in any size shape or manner and when so folded the motto letters lines
figure picture engraving sketch or similar matter is written printed painted drawn
photographed transferred or affixed upon the paper or other material and across
the folds. The paper or other material is then opened out and it then displays the
design of the puzzle which may be transferred to stone for lithographing or zinc
