Improved Marking on Stencil Papers for Duplicating Hand- or
Type-writing.
I, MION JAMES DOUGLAS CARTER, of 14, Woodbury Road, (late of 78 Hatherley
Road,) Walthamstow, in the County of Essex, Manufacturer, 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 :-
This invention relates to the marking of paper, known as stencil paper, such as is
usually employed in machines for duplicating or manifolding hand- or type-written
matter, and consists in providing such paper with marks relative to the various sizes
of paper generally in use for commercial purposes.
Heretofore it has been the practice to provide stencil papers with guide lines
arranged longitudinally and transversely; the paper presenting the appearance of a
number of small squares or parallelograms.
According to this invention, the paper, which may be of the well known Japanese
or of the ordinary thin tissue kind, or of any other class of paper suitable for
employment in the production of stencils for use in the manner herein referred to, and
lined or not as above described, is marked by ruling, printing or otherwise producing
thereon parallelograms corresponding with the different sizes of papers in general
use. The paper is then waxed according to any of the well known means. Or, if
desired, the paper may be waxed previous to marking.

page_text: The accompanying drawing illustrates an example of my improved marking;
A representing a sheet of "stencil" paper from which the guide-lines have been
omitted for the sake of clearness. The parallelogram B, on the said sheet, indicates
the dimensions of "foolscap "; while the parallelograms C, D and E indicate
respectively the dimensions of the papers known as "letter," "note," and "post-card"
sizes. The number and dimensions of the markings may however be varied,
but in the example given, I have included the sizes of paper in general com-
'mercial use.
By the use of stencil papers marked in the manner herein described, the preparation
of a stencil for any given size of paper upon which the matter to be duplicated or
manifolded is to. he reproduced is greatly facilitated, economy in time and labour
resulting.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of this inven
tion, and in what manner the same is to be performed, I claim;:-
Marking stencil papers intended for use in duplicating or manifolding machines
with register lines corresponding with the different sizes of paper commonly employed
with such machines
