Bookbinding and its auxiliary branches . ther by means of a hotiron. Stamping.— Impressing type or designs on bindingmaterial in blank, gold leaf or aluminum leaf with amachine.

Varnishing.— Coating the surface with varnish tobrighten it. facilitate reference, the index is frequently usedon both letterpress and blank books. The length of thebook is divided into as many spaces as there are lettersin the alphabet, including Mc. The letter X isoften eliminated because there are very few names whichbegin with X. A handy division scale adaptable to all INDEXING 221 books within the range of the pattern is made by cuttinga piece of pulpboard 23 by 11 inches. Then six inches inthe center of one end of the length are measured off, andthe board is cut from the long to the short edge. Both thetwenty-three-inch and the six-inch ends are divided into. twenty-seven equal spaces, and lines are drawn from theupper to the lower divisions. Very often on small books the alphabet is divided intotwo sections. In such cases the length of the book isdivided into as many divisions as there are letters in therow: of the twenty-seven divisions in the alphabet, dividethe first half into thirteen and the last into fourteen divi-sions. This is frequently done on index tabs and letter-press quarter-circle cut indexes, but rarely, if ever, on acut-in index for blank-books. Frequently special indexes, designating the days, themonths, and division heads of books, are required. Theseare seldom cut in, as the tab is preferable. The tab indexis used on books indexed throughout or where there aremany leaves to the letter; the index may be alphabeticalor special. If alphabetical, the of leaves to theletter should be according to the index scale, unlessinstructions to the contrary are given. Alphabeticalindex
