hinged ledger paper
1. A LEDGER PAPER
that has a flexible (due to the fact that it is
thinner) strip running from top to bottom of the
sheet about five-eights of an inch in from the
edge (binding edge) of the sheet. The strip is a
result of the removal of some paper fibers,
usually by means of suction, during manufacture.
The strip is about 1 1/4 inch wide. The paper,
being thinner at the area of the hinge, is easier
to turn and will lie flatter; however, it is also
weaker at that point, which may adversely affect
writing. 2. A ledger paper having a strip of linen
(or cambric) attached to the binding edge of the
leaf. Its purpose is to allow the leaf to turn
more easily and lie flat. (17 )
