PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in or appertaining to Rolls of Ribbon.
I, JOHN DAVIES, Manager of Thorpe Brothers, & Co., Limited, Tyrrel Street,
in the City of Bradford, do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as
follows:
1
This invention relates to improvements in or appertaining to rolls of ribbon, and
its object is to afford ready means of indicating the length or quantity of the ribbon
on the roll.
For this purpose the paper rolled along with the ribbon has its length marked
thereon by perforations or perforated figures and the ribbon and it are folded
together from the commencement of the figures consequently the figures at the
end of the paper which is unrolled with the ribbon show the length remaining
upon the roll.
The paper may be perforated with figures showing the length in yards and
eighths of yards or in any other convenient or suitable manner.
Dated this 28th day of March 1898.

I, JOHN DAVIES, of 61, Kirkgate, Bradford, in the County of York, and late of
Thorpe Brothers, & Co., Limited, Tyrrel Street, Bradford aforesaid, do hereby
declare the nature of this invention and in what manner the same is to be per-
formed, to be particularly described and ascertained in and by the following
statement:-
This invention relates to improvements in or appertaining to rolls of ribbon, and
its object is to afford ready means of indicating the length or quantity of ribbon
on the roll.
For this purpose the paper rolled along with the ribbon has its length marked
thereon by perforations or perforated figures and the ribbon and it are rolled or
folded together from the commencement of the figures consequently the figures at
the end of the paper which is unrolled with the ribbon show the length remaining
upon the roll.
The paper may be perforated with figures showing the length in yards and
eighths of yards or in any other convenient or suitable manner.
To fully describe my invention reference is made to the accompanying sheet of
[Price 71

page_text: drawings, forming a part of this specification, in which similar letters of reference
indicate corresponding parts in each of the figures.
Figure 1, represents an elevation of a roll of ribbon.
Figure 2, represents, a view of a portion of the paper usually rolled inside the
ribbon and in this case perforated with figures indicating the length in yards and
quarters of yards of such paper, the greater portion of the paper between the
figures is broken away in order to show the remainder upon a larger scale.
The paper A is wrapped inside the ribbon B, the inner end of the ribbon or
commencement of the roll being placed against the end A2 of the paper and the
two rolled up together. By using perforated figures in this way there is no
possibility of marking the ribbon with ink or the like as would be the case if
the figures were printed.
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:
A ribbon paper marked with perforated figures adapted to be rolled with the
ribbon and indicate the length thereof, substantially as herein shown and
described.
