The patent states:
""The Pro...Hi Richard. The patent states:<br />""The Prototype is a typewriter attachment carrying an ink impregnated ribbon arranged to be interposed between successive sheets of paper at the writing position. The supplemental ribbon is arranged to provide two operative runs for the purpose of making two ribbon copies in addition to the principal ribbon copy typed by the machine with the usual standard ribbon. It will be understood, however, that the invention is not limited to this number of runs, which may be increased or reduced and suitable variations may be made as the demands of the work to be done may require. One ribbon copy may be made in the operation of the machine by each run of the supplemental ribbon and one by the main ribbon. In addition two thin paper phantom copies may be printed on the reverse side and will serve for file copies, if a transparent paper is selected."<br />I hope this explains it a little better.Robert Messengerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04366507489948676594noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5248447883714712696.post-50795074956681109522015-05-04T02:08:14.066+10:002015-05-04T02:08:14.066+10:00So how did this work?
