          A record pad as recited in claim 4 wherein said securing edge               
          margin of each sheet set is adjacent said upper margin of each              
          of said top sheets and said record sheets (the securing edge                
          margin (Drake's spine part 3) of each of Drake's sheet set is

          helical wire 4), and a through cut line between said top sheet              
          and said mechanical attachment (Drake's line of weakness 5 can              
          be either a cut line or perforations as taught in column 3,
