Show A Good Method of Copying. Bny a piece of common factory or cheese cloth, or as many pieces as may be necessary to make the desired number of copies, each the size of the letter book page. When about to take copies wet the cloth, or several pieces if necessary, so thoroughly that there shall be no dry spots. This done wring them out as dry as possible with the hands. Now place the oil sheet in the book and the cloth thereon, and the leaf of the copy book on this. Next lay the letter or manuscript on this, and if another sheet is to be copied add another oil sheet, a wet cloth, the tissue leaf, and so on for as many sheets as there may be to copy. By this process as many as twenty sheets may be copied successfully at the same time, while the most expert with the brush, or any similar device for moistening the tissue leaves, will sometimes some-times fail on a single copy. We retired our hair and felt brushes to make place for the cheese cloth a number of years ago. For typewriter work nothing excels ex-cels the cloth. Clear copies may be procured pro-cured as long as there is enongh ink left on a ribbon to make an impression. Cor. Writer. |
