PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
An Improvement in Marking or Plotting Paper or other Drawing
Materials to Provide a New System of Kindergarten or other
Drawing.
I, CHARLES WILLIAM BAILEY B.A., residing at 10 Thorneycroft Road
Wavertree Liverpool in the County of Lancaster, Principal of Smithdown School
Liverpool do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
The drawing paper, slates, blackboards and/or other materials for drawing or
demonstrating drawing operations are marked out or plotted by a series of
equidistant points, dots or their equivalent marks e.g. small stars, circles etc. in
black, white or any other colour or colours and persons especially school pupils
and/or teachers produce copies, drawings, designs, maps etc. by drawing from one
dot or its equivalent to another dot or its equivalent in accordance with the copy,
drawing, design, map etc. to be produced. The system of drawing so provided
may be employed as a kind of Kindergarten drawing for young children and
preferably as a system in advance of the ordinary Kindergarten drawing on squared
paper and introductory to the ordinary method of drawing on blank paper etc.
I intend to issue sheets or books of drawing paper or other material marked or
plotted by a series of dots or their equivalents, ", " & 1" apart or any other distances
apart I may deem advisable e.g. those specially arranged for plotting curves,
circles etc. and that my invention shall include the provision of certain further
sheets or materials in addition to those previously explained and these further
sheets etc. may be such in which the leading or guiding points or dots or their
equivalents may be coloured differently to the rest of the series of points or dots
or their equivalents or in which all points etc. but the leading ones may be omitted
so that the persons using them especially school children or teachers may be thus
guided to produce copies, drawings, designs maps etc. 1 intend to mark or plot
sheets, books, slates, blackboards or other drawing materials in the manner herein
described by lithography, printing, transfers, roller methods or any other method
I deem advisable. I intend also to adapt for the purposes of my invention any
paper, slates, blackboards or other material already marked out into squares by
the printing, painting marking or otherwise producing dots or their equivalents, at
the corners of the squares already marked and also if 1 deem it advisable produce
squared paper, slates, blackboards etc. with dots or their equivalents marked at the
corners of the squares in order that I may exhibit the relation between the method
of drawing or squared paper etc. to the method of drawing or squared paper etc.
and the method herein described.

I, CHARLES WILLIAM BAILEY B.A., Principal, Sefton Park Board School,
Liverpool late of 10 Thorneycroft Road Wavertree and now residing at
18 Hawarden Avenue, Sefton Park, Liverpool in the County of Lancaster 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:-
The drawing paper, slates blackboards or other materials for drawing or demon-
strating drawing operations are marked out or plotted by a series of equidistant
points dots or other equivalent marks e.g. small stars or circles in black white or
any other colour or colours and persons especially school pupils or teachers
produce copies drawings, maps or outlines by drawing, from one dot or its
equivalent to another dot or its equivalent in accordance with the copy, drawing,
map or outline to be produced. The system of drawing so provided may be
employed as a kind of Kindergarten drawing for young children and preferably as
a system in advance of the Kindergarten drawing on squared paper or other
material and introductory to the ordinary method of drawing on blank paper.
I claim for the system of drawing herein described that it connects the method of
drawing on squared paper with the ordinary method of drawing on blank paper as
by it the school pupils have given them points for marking the commencement
course and ending of the lines of their copy but the lines they draw are not
traced upon other lines as when squared paper is used but drawn across intervening
blank spaces thus enabling them to learn to draw on blank paper. I intend at first
to issue sheets or books of drawing paper or other material marked by series of
equidistant dots or their equivalents. In some sheets the dots shall be one eighth
of an inch apart, in others three eighths of an inch apart, in others one half of
an inch apart and in others one inch or any other suitable distance apart. In other
sheets the dots may be arranged in any way I may deem advisable for the delinea-
tion of any special straightlined or curved figures. I also intend to further
illustrate my method and develop it by issuing sheets or books of drawing paper
or other material in which certain leading or guiding dots or their equivalents of
the outline to be produced are coloured differently to the rest of the series of dots
or their equivalents, or in which all dots or their equivalents but the leading or
guiding ones of the outline to be produced are omitted.
Further I intend to mark out or plot sheets books slates blackboards or other
drawing materials in the manner herein described by methods of lithography
printing transfers roller methods or any other method I may deem desirable.
Moreover I intend to adapt for the purposes of my invention any papers slates
blackboards or other material already marked by squares and this I shall do by
printing painting marking or otherwise producing dots or their equivalents at the
corners of the squares already marked and again if I deem it advisable I intend
in order mainly to exhibit the relation between the Kindergarten method of drawing
on squares and the method herein described to produce squared paper slates black-
boards or other materials with dots or their equivalents marked at the corners of
the squares.

page_text: 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 :-
(1.) An improvement in paper or other drawing material by marking or plotting
it with a series of equidistant dots or their equivalents to provide a new system of
Kindergarten or other drawing especially suitable for young school pupils which
system may connect the Kindergarten method of drawing on squared paper with
the ordinary method of drawing on blank paper.
(2.) The provision of sheets or books of drawing paper or other material
marked or plotted by a series of equidistant dots or their equivalents and in which
certain leading or guiding dots of certain outlines are differently coloured to or
otherwise distinguished from the rest of the series of equidistant dots.
(3.) The provision of sheets or books of drawing paper or other material in
which the leading or guiding dots of certain outlines are marked out or plotted.
(4.) The adaptation to my invention of squared paper or other material by
printing painting or otherwise marking dots or their equivalents at the corners of
the squares.
