(under subclass 135) Subject matter wherein significance is attributed to the formation of a character* symbol by excising the record-medium* using type-die* elements that sever the record-medium to produce perforations therein, each perforation having an outline of a character symbol.
(1) Note. The record-medium so severed with cutout characters is used as a stencil by placing the stencil on surface and coating the stencil and surface with pigment. When the stencil is lifted from the surface, the pigmented areas on the surface will form the characters that have been cut out of the stencil record-medium.
