A form folded in half and made up as a wallet for use as a card index with signal tabs to progress action

Alpha indexes are formed by using columns for each letter of the alphabet. This combines a chronological list with an alphabetical guide—entries are made in sequence but each name begins in the appropriate alphabetical column. In the lower example, names are indexed under the second letter of the surname, but this method could be used for the initial letter of the first Christian name

Make-up of documents and forms

Cut corners may help to detect mis-sorts or missing documents, or facilitate the extraction of carbon papers in one pulling operation

On this combined record of Allocations, Dues In, and Stocks, the space at the top edge can be clipped to assist selection of a particular class of cards, or coloured signal clips can be attached at different positions. The corner is cut so that any card filed in the wrong position, back to front, or upside down, will be detected. Coloured lines throw entries into relief and break up the pattern

Forms on a long roll of paper with perforations between the forms.

These forms are made up in perforated strips (6 forms per sheet) to facilitate typing.

Copying

Use of carbon papers or carbon coatings

A four-part set of forms with carbon patches on the first three. There are no carbon patches under the entries ‘Prepared by’ and ‘Checked by’ on the smaller top file copy, so that these spaces can be used for other purposes on the third and fourth copies. A different arrangement of carbon patches on the back of the third copy excludes certain details from the fourth copy. Punched holes are provided at both ends of the copies so that a file copy can be folded in half to prevent the carbon coating smearing other documents in the file

This six-part set of forms is made up in pads for preparation with ordinary carbon paper.

A form folded, perforated and stapled to facilitate registration of entries on copies serving as an application, an import licence and two copies of the licence produced with carbon paper
