Abstract
Abstract This specification relates to the production of policy certificates and separate records of individual policy details on a high speed printer. A roll of paper strip has printed on it at spaced locations along its length standardized text relating to the general form of insurance transaction. Plasticized cards each bearing printed information and provided with sensitized blank spaces for the addition of data peculiar to a given transaction, and provided with printed explanatory text are secured to the strip. In one transit through the high speed printer, all the data relating to a particular insurance data is printed out. Each card has a sensitized zone for a manually applied signature and an aperture in the strip opposite the signature zone so that the signature can be applied through the aperture without removing the card from the strip.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 9
Claim 1
Independent Claim
270 words
A method of producing documentary evidence of a multiplicity of different financial transactions comprising: a. forming a paper strip adapted to be fed through a high speed printer and printed at each of a multiplicity of locations spaced apart along its length with a standardized text relating to the said transaction and including framed zones provided with explanatory text and suitable for the insertion of data peculiar to a given transaction; b. forming plasticized cards each bearing printed information and providing them with sensitized blank spaces for the addition of data peculiar to a given transaction and provided with printed explanatory text, each card including a sensitized zone suitable for the application of a signature; c. providing the paper strip with apertures respectively opposite the said sensitized zones; d. securing the cards to the strip respectively transversely adjacent the different locations and respectively with their sensitized zones overlying the said apertures; e. passing the strip with the cards through the high-speed printer, and operating the printer to insert both on each card and on the transversely adjacent printed location, data peculiar to one desired financial transaction; and f. subsequently dividing the strip by transverse cleavages between the said locations to provide a multiplicity of documents each comprising a part of the strip And one of the cards and providing both on the card and the strip at least some of the data peculiar to one of a number of financial transactions; whereby each of the said sensitized zones on the said cards can be validated by the addition of a manually applied signature through the aperture opposite to that zone.
Claim 2
Independent Claim
270 words
A method of producing documentary evidence of a multiplicity of different financial transactions comprising: a. forming a paper strip adapted to be fed through a high speed printer and printed at each of a multiplicity of locations spaced apart along its length with a standardized text relating to the said transaction and including framed zones provided with explanatory text and suitable for the insertion of data peculiar to a given transaction; b. forming plasticized cards each bearing printed information and providing them with sensitized blank spaces for the addition of data peculiar to a given transaction and provided with printed explanatory text, each card including a sensitized zone suitable for the application of a signature; c. providing the paper strip with apertures respectively opposite the said sensitized zones; d. securing the cards to the strip respectively transversely adjacent the different locations and respectively with their sensitized zones overlying the said apertures; e. passing the strip with the cards through the high-speed printer, and operating the printer to insert both on each card and on the transversely adjacent printed location, data peculiar to one desired financial transaction; and f. subsequently dividing the strip by transverse cleavages between the said locations to provide a multiplicity of documents each comprising a part of the strip And one of the cards and providing both on the card and the strip at least some of the data peculiar to one of a number of financial transactions; whereby each of the said sensitized zones on the said cards can be validated by the addition of a manually applied signature through the aperture opposite to that zone.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
39 words
The method claimed in claim 1, which includes the steps of forming cleavage between said transversely adjacent locations on the strip and between the cards and the part of the strip bearing the standardized text and the framed zones.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim

233 words
A paper strip adapted to provide documentary evidence of a multiplicity of different financial transactions after passage through a high speed printer and printed at each of a multiplicity of locations spaced apart along its length with a standardized text relating to the said transactions and including framed zones provided with explanatory text and suitable for the insertion of data peculiar to a given transaction, a multiplicity of plasticized cards each bearing printed information and provided with sensitized blank spaces for the addition of data peculiar to a given transaction and provided with printed explanatory text, each card including a sensitized zone suitable for the application of a signature, and apertures in the paper strip respectively opposite to the said printed locations, the cards being secured to the strip respectively transverse opposite the different locations with their sensitized zone overlying the said apertures, whereby the strip can be passed through a high-speed printer so that the printer can insert both on each card and on the transversely adjacent printed location, data peculiar to one desired financial transaction, and the strip can be subsequently divided by transverse cleavages between the said locations to provide a multiplicity of documents each comprising a part of the strip and one of the cards and providing both on the card and the strip at least some of the data peculiar to one of a number of financial transactions.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
40 words
A paper strip according to claim 3, wherein the strip is formed with cleavage lines both between said transverse locations on the strip and between the cards and the parts of the strip bearing the standardized text and framed zones.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
195 words
A document forming evidence of a financial transaction, the document being severed from a paper strip after passage of the strip through a high-speed printer and pre-printed with a transversely located standardized text relating to the said transaction and including framed zones provided with explanatory pre-printed text and having inserted in these zones by the high-speed printer, data peculiar to the given transaction, a plasticized card bearing preprinted information and provided with sensitized blank spaces on which has been printed by the high-speed printer data peculiar to the said given transaction and provided with pre-printed explanatory text, the card including a sensitized zone suitable for the application of a signature, and an aperture in the paper strip, the card being secured to the strip with its sensitized zone overlying the said aperture, the document having had, during a single pass through the high-speed printer, data peculiar to the said financial transaction inserted both in the blank spaces on the card and in the said framed zones, whereby each of the said sensitized zones on the said cards can be validated by the addition of a manually applied signature through the aperture opposite to that zone.
