WALTER TILLEY Jar. of No. 9, Wellington Villas Brighton in the County of
Sussex, Merchant, do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as
follows:-
:-
:
By arranging and printing a sheet or cheque partly on the front and partly on the
back so that when folded, the printed sides remain uppermost, then by the insertion
of a carbon leaf or by having the underside of the foils prepared by a means
suitable for copying; any.matter written on the sheet above may be transferred to
the sheets below which become perfect duplicates of the original. By this means a
number of parts of cheques, delivery notes, bill forms, order forms, copy invoices,
message and memorandum forms, salesmens and pawnbrokers tickets etc. may be
made out and completed at one operation: thus obviating the liability of error
and saving much time.

COMPLETE SPECIFICATION.
An Improved Arrangement for the Printing and Copying of Sheets
and Forms Requiring Numerous Duplicates.
WALTER TILLEY Jnr. of No. 9, Wellington Road, Brighton in the County of
Sussex, Merchant, 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 :-
F
be,
By arranging and printing a sheet or cheque partly on the front and partly on
the back so that when folded the printed sides remain uppermost; then by the
insertion of a carbon leaf or by having the underside of the foila prepared by the
various means suitable for copying; any matter written on the sheet above
may
transferred to the sheet below which becomes perfect duplicates of the original.
By this means a number of parts of cheques, delivery notes, bill forms, order forms;
copy invoices, messages and memorandum forms: salesmens and pawnbrokers
tickets etc. may be made out and completed at one operation, thus obviating the
liability of error and saving much time.
With the usual mode of writing out each cheque and counterfoils of delivery
notes as used in commercial houses and for other uses: it is obvious that there is
liability of error and a great amount of time is taken up in writing the separate
parts of the cheque to correspond to each other. This trouble and uncertainty
may be obviated by a part of the cheque being printed on the front and a part on
the back so that when folded at the perforations cach part exactly corresponds to
its fellow and that the printed side remains upwards then by the insertion of carbon
paper or by having the underside of the foils prepared in the various manners
suitable for transferring to the sheets below, so that the leaf underneath may
receive the impression of the writing above. By this means a number of parts of
cheques may be made out at one operation: For instance in the case of a three foil
delivery note the part sewn in the binding (foil 1) and the part delivered with
goods (foil 3) would be printed on one side and the central part (foil 2) would be
printed on the other side, then if a sheet of carbon paper be laid on foils 1 and 2
and foil 3 folded first; then foils 2 & 3 together folded on foil 1. By writing on
11

page_text: foil 2 which is uppermost the writing would be transferred to the other two: the
writing on all three would be completed at one operation and would be fac-simile.
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 :-
1. That the folding and printing of sheets so that duplicates may be obtained on
one or more leaves or parts of such sheets by the intervention of prepared
substances, or surfaces and by one operation of writing or pressure.
