Claim 1
Independent Claim
304 words
A multiple part form, said form including a first part, a second part, a third part and a fourth part juxtaposed and coincident with one another, each of said parts including feed strips for allowing said form to be engaged by a printer tractor, said feed strips being disposed longitudinally along opposite edges of said parts, each of said parts further including an upper portion and a lower portion, said upper and lower portions being selectively separable by perforations extending laterally of said parts, said first part and said second part further defining a first line of perforations for removing said feed strips from said first part and second part, and a second line of perforations parallel to said first line of perforations and inwardly of said first line of perforations, said second part including glue lines extending adjacent and parallel to said first line of perforations from said perforations extending laterally of said part to the bottom edge of said second part and a glue line extending along said bottom edge of said second part, said glue lines being adapted to adhere said second part to the back of said first part, said third part and said fourth part defining a third line of perforations and a fourth line of perforations respectively for removing said feed strips from said third part and fourth part, said third and fourth lines of perforations being coincident with said second line of perforations, the arrangement being such that removal of the feed strips from the right-hand edge of said four parts removes only the feed strips from said first part and said second part along said first line of perforations and shortens the width of said third part and fourth parts for separation of said third part and fourth part from said first part and second part.
