 rolls rino inches in dianetor are obtained. After the rolls 

 are ta'ren off the spindles wooden cores inserted in their 

 center, and thoy are ready to be \.Tra~ped and shipped. 



Gone of the larger rolls go upon a cutting machine 

 where they are cut in squares of tiny desired size. Those 

 are stacked in bundles one foot thlo!:. nach sheet is counted, 

 the reams are folded double and one hundred reams packed for 

 shipment.
