Surveyor Posted August 29, 2017 Share Posted August 29, 2017 Having started to try and get all the documents in proper looking folders with the names down the spine I have run out of these folders, does any one know the official name and order number and a source? The gap is about 2 inch Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fv1609 Posted August 29, 2017 Share Posted August 29, 2017 I don't know, none of mine are to hand. You need to watch out as I think it might be imperial with 72mm spacing between holes. In 1970 JSP 181 Part 1 laid down that all MOD technical publications would be in a loose-leaf format unless the sponsor could justify a bound publication. The paper sizes adopted were ISO ‘A’ sizes and punched to accommodate the new range of binders. Existing publications were to be re-punched to be fit the new binders with 80mm spacing. Some EMERs are pretty ragged being punched for the files with 23 pairs of clasps, then re-punched for 72mm spacing & then again for 80mm spacing. Just something to bear in mind in your pursuit of binders that all your documents are going to be compatible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tony B Posted August 29, 2017 Share Posted August 29, 2017 I belive they are called Lever Arch files. Try Amazon loads of variety there, or the local pound shop. I bought a load of kit from WH Smith about £20 worth. then walked into the pound shop could have got twice the amount for a £3 :banghead: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I too would love some of these binders (or the loxon loose-leaf ones) if you find a modern supplier. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
