4 are positioned on the left side. The second "normal use"
position of Drake's record pad is where the spine part 3 and
helical wire 4 are positioned on the top side. 2
When Drake's record pad is in its second "normal use"
position, claim 1 is readable on Drake as follows. A record
pad (see Figures 1 and 2 of Drake) comprising: a plurality of
sheet sets (see column 4, lines 27-30, of Drake), each sheet
set comprising a paper top sheet having a top face and a
bottom face (Drake's removable sheet 1), at least one
underlying record bottom sheet (Drake's record sheet 2), and a
transfer mechanism for transferring indicia imaged on said top
sheet to an underlying said record sheet (see column 4, lines
30-45, of Drake); said top sheet comprising an upper margin, a
lower margin substantially parallel to said upper margin, and
first and second side margins substantially perpendicular to
said upper and lower margins, said upper margin being at the
upper portion of said top sheet during normal use of said top
2We note that it is well known in this art that the
helical wire that bounds sheets of a book or pad together is
normally positioned along either the top edge or the left
edge.
