Thus eaeh stub leaf is utilized on both sides, and for every two checks there is an additional piece of paper of the size of each of such checks, and the whole book is no larger in superficies than the size of the check, plus back margin enough to bind with. The back of one check adjoins one face of the succeeding stub leaf, and the other face of that stub leaf adjoins the front face of the succeeding check, and the back of the next check adjoins one face of the stub leaf succeeding it, and so on.

The two places on a stub leaf for recording the particulars of checks are on one piece of paper. The checks and stub leaves are completely protected by the cover; and the book is about the length and breadth of an ordinary check, and remains of uniform shape as the checks are removed. �The differences in construction between the book first de- scribed in the plaintiff 's re-issued specification and the defend- ant's book are that in the defendant's book the two checks are not attached to their stub leaf, one at the top and one at ��� �
