When certain series of observations showing frequency data are plotted on arithmetic probabiHty paper, the points do not fall in a straight line, but in a curve. Plotted on probability paper with a logarithmic scale as the ordinate, the points may fall approximately in a straight line or a gentle curve. In order to benefit from the use of probability paper, it is not necessary that the plotted points fall exactly in a straight line. If the curve is so gentle and uniform that it may be extended beyond the limits of the plotted points, it will usually be found sufficient.

ratio chart is designed to indicate rate of change rather than arithmetic change. Although in many instances the spacing of the ruHngs clearly indicates to an experienced reader that the chart is plotted on ratio ruling, it is frequently desirable to indicate the ratio basis as shown in 345 and 346. This is especially necessary if the chart covers a comparatively short range of scale since the reader might not notice the difference in spacing of horizontal lines on the grid.

Synonyms for ratio chart are logarithmic chart, semi-logarithmic chart, rate-of-change chart. The term

is short and expressive. There is need term equally expressive to designate charts

CURVES. The plotting on rate-of-change charts requires considerable care because of the peculiar character of the logarithmic spacing. Where special grids are prepared without intermediate rulings, it is desirable to use a logarithmic plotting scale which may easily be made from printed commercial paper of the proper dimensions. In

general, rate-of-change charts call for simple lines connecting

Columns or surfaces, of course, should not be used to indicate values on a rate-of-change chart. Columns and surfaces may be used on an arithmetic chart to indicate changes in ratios, however.

SUGGESTIONS FOR MAKING A CHART HE FIRST problem in producing a chart, assuming that the data have been gathered, is in the choice of materials to be used in drawing it. Often the materials at hand in the office or drafting room are sufficient. It is also possible to plan the production of a chart, basing all the plans on the materials at hand. I

PAPER The test for the selection of paper on which to draw is to try the drawing medium upon it; that is, the ink, pencil, paint, or crayon, and see the result. Cross section paper drawing materials may be secured from the following companies:

CRAYONS If you do not have crayons of the desired color on hand, try your nearest art dealer. If you are unable to secure the materials that you want there, write to the manufacturers. They will put you in touch with your nearest dealer.

A wide variety is offered. There are colored pencils, wax crayons, pressed crayons, water crayons, etc. If when using a wax crayon, the color tends to smear, scrape the surface with a razor blade. The excess crayon is thus removed. Lumber crayons may be used for extremely heavy color work.

TWO METHODS

of color photography are in general use. One requires a tricolor camera. A and B above, making simultaneously by one exposure three separate negatives on panchromatic plates, using color filters and mirrors. Process plates are prepared from these for three-color halftone or offset printing, or one of the

photographic color printing processes such as Carbro or Wash-Off Relief. The other method uses color film or plates in an ordinary camera. Kodachrome and Dufay film. Lumiere and Finlay plates are examples. When developed they show the image as a color transparency which must be viewed by transmitted light, directly or by projection. For printing, three-color separation negatives are made from them by contact or enlargement. The Kodak exhibi-

The American Documentation Institute, Washington, D.

Publication by this film method is also coming into use for research material which does not require a large edition. The economy and convenience of this can easily be seen. The use of Microcolor film by Bibliofilm Service adds to the scope and value of research extract copying, since colored specimens and objects as well as illustrations may be reproduced and used either for individual reading or projected on a wall screen for class or lecture use.

In planning page lay-outs, a reducing glass may be used to determine whether reduction to fit a given space will cause loss of detail. It is possible to sec how an illustration will appear when it is reduced by adjusting the distance between the illustration and the glass until the correct ratio between the original and the reduced image is obtained.

PREPARATION OF ILLUSTRATIONS

413

To determine whether a cut is already a halftone, look at it through a small magnifying glass. If the shaded portions appear as many dots, it is a halftone. Halftone screens are designated as fine or coarse, depending upon the number of lines of dots to the inch.

to

Make Crop Marks.

Put crop marks in the margin of a photograph or drawing. If you MUST mark the copy, use a China marking pencil for this purpose. The reason for this is simple:—crop marks drawn on the photograph oblige the engraver to make the plate smaller than the size indicated by them.

PREPARATION OF ILLUSTRATIONS When color is used in printing a pamphlet or book, "tints' of the color or colors may be used to secure shading instead of using cross hatchings. However, because the areas for color tints usually are irregular in shape and require more skill in applying them, the cost of color tinting may be greater than the cost of the halftones. One

problem arose regarding the use of the color "green."

definite

As shown opposite, green may be secured from a combination of full yellow and full blue. If this "combination" green were used, both blue and yellow color plates and an extra press run would have been necessary, whenever green was wanted. As a result, a green ink was used instead of the "combination" green in some chapters.

The Ben Day

process is used to make crosshatchings and shadings on charts, maps, and pictures. The shading medium consists of a transparent film stretched taut upon a wood frame. This film bears a design in relief on the outer side. The work is done on the drawing, on the negative, or directly on the plate before it is etched for printing. If done on the negative, the finished plate will show the tint in reverse as to black and white. When a particular shading and the sections in which it is to appear have been decided upon, all other sections are protected by The inked French folio paper, gum, or gamboge (a semi-transparent solution). film upon which the particular pattern appears in relief is then placed face down upon the drawing, negative, or plate. The top side of the shading medium is rubbed with a stylus or rubber roller, and the pattern is thus transferred to the

copy. 2.

METHODS OF REPRODUCING

THE

materials on hand may be used in some instances, but in others the work must be done outside the office. If you have only certain equipment, your process of publication is limited the need for other equipment.

by Carbon paper

is

one of the simplest methods of securing a num-

ber of copies. If the original is made by hand (pencil or ink), a special type of carbon paper should be purchased. Best results will be obtained by using a pencil with hard lead, or a manifold pen.

Tracings in pencil or ink may be made by placing tracing paper over the copy. Thin paper can be used for small tracings, while for large ones a tracing cloth, which comes in a larger size than the paper, should be used.

METHOD

The

principle of the blue print, white print, and blue line print is that chemically treated paper is first exposed to a chemical light action, which prints the design. The print is then developed, that is. treated so that the design will appear clear and remain semi-permanently. The first method of exposure was by

machine

means in the

of blue print frames placed in the sunlight. The next step of the present machines was the use of a single

development

arc lamp. Later a bank of arc lamps placed side by side was employed. Since the convenience of operation seemed to fit into the reproduction field, mercury vapor tubes were utilized. It was later found that such tubes did not compare with arc lamps in the efficiency of printing.

In relief printing, also referred to as letterpress, the design from the surrounding surface and only the raised newspapers, surface portions print after being inked. Examples magazines, booklets, circulars printed from type, electrotypes, stereotypes, halftone plates, line cuts, etc. Relief printing is adaptable to all finishes of paper for type work. Where the screen is coarse enough it is adaptable on rough-surface papers, but the best results for halftone printing are obtained with a fine screen halftone

GRAPHIC PRESENTATION In planographic printing, which includes lithography (both direct offset), the design is in the same plane as the surrounding or non-printing portions of the plate. The design, however, is greaseattracting, while the non-printing portions are treated so as to make them grease-repellent. On the press, the non-printing portions are dampened with water between impressions to keep them It follows that when the greasy ink is applied in that condition. by the rollers to the plate only the design takes ink and prints. In direct lithography, the design is printed directly upon the paper. In offset lithography, the design is printed upon a rubber blanket which in turn transmits the design to the paper. Practically all lithography is now of the offset type. While both coated and uncoated papers are being successfully used for lithographing purposes, the latter is chiefly used. Blanket resiliency makes it possible to secure excellent results in halftones on uncoated (rough) stock. Examples displays, posters, books, book covers, booklets, circulars, labels, wrapping papers, calendars, inserts, etc.

Lithographic Technical Foundation Publications, 220 East 42nd Street, New York, N. Y. In intaglio printing (also referred to as rotogravure, photogravure, and sheet-fed gravure) the design is etched into the surface of a copper plate or cylinder, thus producing sub-surface recesses. Ink is applied to the plate or cylinder in sufficient volume to fill the recesses following which the surface proper is wiped clean. In rotogravure, the surface is cleaned by a thin steel blade known as "doctor blade" which fits tightly against the surface of the plate as the cylinder revolves. The paper is brought into direct contact with the copper plate or cylinder by means of a rubber roller. As a result, the ink is lifted out of the recesses thereby

SELECTION OF PAPER

AFTER

the method of copying or printing has been decided upon, paper suitable to the process chosen should be selected. In some cases a preference for a certain type of paper may be a determining factor in the selection of the copying or printing method. However, the usual procedure is to decide upon a method of reproduction and then to select the paper. For that reason, this chapter on Selection of Paper is placed immediately following the chapter on Methods of Printing. I

opacity is desirable, and in the medium and heavy weights should be no problem. In the lighter weights much depends upon the type of paper selected. The introduction of special materials to increase opacity has produced special papers for this purpose.

Grain direction In all Book paper made on a paper machine, the majority of the fibers run in one direction. Hence we have the terms "with" and "against" grain. Such paper is stronger when torn crossgrain and folds smoother with grain. In general, paper is ordered with the grain running the length of the sheets for all purposes. In the folder, booklet, or bound book the grain should run parallel to the fold or binding. This gives a smoother folded edge and the pages, being more flexible, lie flatter.

Book papers are generally made of rag, chemical wood pulp, mechanical wood pulp, or a combination of these. Chemical wood pulp is wood cellulose extracted by chemicals from the wood. In the process, gums, resin, and lignin are eliminated. In the better grades such fiber has much of the characteristics and permanence of rag paper. On the other hand, mechanical pulp is merely the crushing of wood into pulp with nothing eliminated. These fibers deteriorate in strength and color just as wood does under exposure. Mechanical pulp is used only in the cheapest grades of Book paper, which are classified as Groundwood papers whether they contained a large amount, as in news paper, or a small amount. All Book papers free from Groundwood are classified as free sheets, indicating that they contain only chemical wood pulp or rag, or both. In recent years, the improvement in chemical wood pulps has given us papers of fine strength. Trimmed Page S ze

Determining Size of Sheet to Use to Secure a Desired Page Size

desirable that the page sizes of booklets, etc., permit the printer to use standard •ixes of paper which are regularly carried in stock. The booklet size should cut without waste from such standard size sheets rather than require special size sheets or waste. Much depends upon the size of the printing press and the arrangement of the printing form. Therefore, the printer can best advise on this question. It is

Machine Finish Book paper has a medium smooth finish suitable for ordinary printing where the cuts used are not too fine and the requirements, from a printing standpoint, not too exacting.

A better grade of similar paper is called English Finish, which, having a more level surface, gives a better printing result than Machine Finish. Both of the above papers are

finished on the paper machine, but polished after being made, giving a higher shine to the surface for sharper reproduction of the details in the cuts when desired. However, the polishing of Uncoated paper has some effect on color, hence Supercalendered papers are not so bright in color as Machine Finish or English Finish and are also somewhat lower in bulk.

SELECTION OF PAPER Other types of paper finished on the paper machine are called Antique. Eggshell and Text. These papers have a rough or semirough finish suitable for use where only type or line cuts are used, but have good bulk and color. In general, the terms Antique and Eggshell are used for the medium and low grades, and Text is used for higher grades.

The term Offset paper implies paper made for use in the lithographic process, namely, hard sized or water resistant. Uncoated Offset paper has good color, strength, and bulk. The finish varies from fairly smooth to medium because the lithographic process does not require an absolutely level surface for the reproduction of cuts. Almost any paper can be run offset if sufficiently hard sized. Coated paper is produced by the application to a special paper of a considerable amount of coating material, which is then polished. This coating material is generally composed of clay, casein, and other materials which will impart brightness or color to the final sheet. Either a high glossy finish or a semi-dull finish may be secured, depending upon the composition of the coating material used. Both are suitable for fine, detailed cuts, and the glossy Coated gives sharpness where semi-dull Coated gives softness. Coated paper is used for the best reproduction of halftone illustrations. Good strength and folding quality are implied when the

Bond paper as differentiated from Book paper indimade for hardness, crackle, and strength for letter-

etc., rather than for printing surface and opacity. In other words, Book paper is a "filled" sheet to secure printing qualThese qualiity and opacity, whereas Bond paper is not "filled" ties are not as important as the other requirements desired in Bond Paper.

In the selection of paper, samples of various suitable papers should be obtained from the printer, who best knows the problem and can best advise on the selection. The final appearance of the finished job should be determined by the making of a dummy to demonstrate bulk, opacity, color, strength, etc. Paper sold under the manufacturer's brand implies full value, uniformity, and availability.

Imposition. See 452A. The binder should be consulted in determining whether the imposition should allow for folding in 16- or 32 -page units (signatures) before the book goes to press. From a binding standpoint, it is important that the bulk of the paper be considered in determining the method of folding and that the grain of the paper run the way of the fold. Inserts.

Pages that are printed on different paper from the

body

of a book, such as illustrations, maps, etc., constitute inserts. They are commonly pasted to the text pages.

3.

Reinforcements. The first consideration for strength in the joints of the cover is the end papers (the papers pasted to the inside of the cover and forming the first page of the book). The strength and durability of the binding depend largely upon the tearing strength of this paper. Other means of reinforcing are "turned ends," "muslin guards," and "cloth joints."

To

secure "turned ends," the end papers are cut about half inch width than usual to allow a quarter of an inch stub. These stubs are placed around the first and last signatures and then pasted down. In sewing, the threads pass through the stubs of the end papers as well as the first and last signatures. larger in

The aim of this hook was to srciirr the Kreateit potsihie numhcr of illuitrationt and to reduce the text to the minimum.

A

The

Color has been introduced on many charts in which the original was black and white. has resulted in an accentuation of a part of the chart not intended by the producers, we hope they will understand our difficulty, since enough charts with color were not available. If this

In our attempt to secure a book of about 500 pages, we found that by printing 32 pages on one 25" x 38" sheet of paper 16 pages on each side we could secure a book of 512 pages with a 6' x 9" page. There would be 16 such sheets.

By printing color on one side of each of these 16 sheets, there would be two pages of color alternating with two pages of black print. In order to have more than one color on several color forms. 24 colorplates were distributed throughout 16 forms. One form, the color form of the 14th sheet (pages 417 to 448) has all four colors. The color form of the 3rd sheet (pages 65 to 96) has three colors. All the others have either one or two colors.

The four colors used red, yellow, blue, and green were selected as the ones that could be used to the best advantage in "dressing up" graphic charts. This necessitated colors that were strong enough to be used alone and that could also be combined effectively with others. Printing was done by Gray Photo-Offset Corporation, New York City. following offset inks of The Fuchs & Lang Manufacturing Company, 100 Sixth New York City, were used: Red NY-10876. Green # 4697-A6690. Yellow #41 Ink, Blue #26 Litho Ink. Domino Black Litho Ink. The ink for the end paper was

The flexible covers are Red #700 Fabrikoid. The stamping on the backbone and front cover is in Peerless Gold Leaf. The book was bound in 16-page signatures in order that the pages would open as flat as possible. The color lines at the top and bottom of the pages were designed to differentiate the various chapters and to suggest possible borders for use by anyone reading this book. The effect of shading on the borders was secured on pages 34, 35, 42, 43, 92, and 93 and several others, by using Transograph Shading Film DT-60, manufactured by Transograph Corporation, 30 West 15th Street, New York City. Transograph Shading Film DT-60 was also used in the following charts: 47. 82B. 90A, and 366.
