          of said top sheets and said record sheets (the securing edge                
          margin (Drake's spine part 3) of each sheet set is adjacent                 
          the upper margin of each of the removable sheets 1 and the                  
          record sheets 2).                                                           


               In similar manner, claim 12 is readable on Drake as                    
          follows.  A record pad as recited in claim 1 further                        
          comprising securing means for securing said top and record                  
          sheets at said securing edge margin thereof (Drake's helical                
          wire 4); and 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 sheet set is adjacent the upper margin                
          of each of the removable sheets 1 and the record sheets 2);                 
          and further comprising a line of weakness between each of said              
          top sheets and said securing means (Drake's longitudinal line               
          of weakness in the form of perforations 5 that extend parallel              
          to the spine part 3), said pattern of repositional adhesive                 
          adjacent said line of weakness (Drake's strip 8 of adhesive is              
          adjacent the perforations 5).
