NOTE
These problems furnish opportunity for the teacher to explain to the pupils how a book is printed, folded, sewed, trimmed, and bound. Booklets with 16, 18, 32, 36, or 48 pages may be worked out as supplementary problems. The printer usually prefers to fold into 8, 16, or 32 pages in order that the folding may be done iiom edge to edge. Some of the other foldings and pagings are given below. The stock for each book is 9"x12" and a cover is planned to allow 1/4" projection.
A section of 16 pages may be made by folding R to L, T to B, M to C.
The illustration shows the paging on both sides of the sheet,
At the left is shown a single page and the open book in its cover.
A section of 24 pages may be made by folding R to L, M to T, B to C, L to T.
This is a difficult fold and not often employed. A printer would more commonly use two sheets, one of 16 pages and one of 8 pages.
A section of 32 pages may be made by folding B to T, R to L, M to K, J to K.
This is as many pages as usually fold well together in a single section, although thin book paper may sometimes be folded into 64 pages or more in pamphlet work.
A section of 36 pages may be made by folding M to T, B to C, K to L, T to N, L to N.
In place of this sized section it is more practical to fold two sections of 16 pages and one of 4 pages. The practice here in careful folding, however, is worth the attempt at 36 pages in school.
A section of 48 pages may be made by folding B to T, M to L, R to J, Jf to K, N to K.
