Abstract:

A multi-entry transaction pad features a plurality of sheets bearing tear-off slips thereon, the sheets being arranged in a stack over a transfer paper in contact with a master record sheet. Peripheral record entry areas on each slip allows sequential entry of transaction-related data thereinto, the entires being recorded immediately thereunder on the master record sheet. The sheets and their slips are offset with respect to each other, and unique transactions-identifying numbers are printed thereon. The slips are staggered in such a way as to be congruent with correspondingly numbered areas on the master record sheet. Offsetting and staggering is arranged so that the record entry area of the next sequential slip is always exposed and in immediate contact with the transfer paper. A relatively large number of tear-off slips are accommodated on a relatively small number of sheets, leading to reduced manufacturing costs and simplification of the manufacturing process. A related manufacturing method is described.
