Press revising

2.99.

Press revising calls for the exercise of utmost care. The press reviser must be thoroughly familiar with the style and makeup of Government publications. He or she is required to OK all forms that go to press—bookwork, covers, jobwork, etc.—and must see that all queries are answered. A knowledge of the bindery operations required to complete a book or job and familiarity with all types of

imposition, folds, etc., is helpful. The reviser must be capable of ascertaining the proper head, back, and side margins for all work, to ensure proper trimming of the completed job.

2.100.

Although speed is essential when forms reach the press reviser, accuracy is still paramount and must not be sacrificed.

Signature marks, etc.

2.101.

Unless otherwise indicated, signature marks are set in 6-point lowercase and indented 3 ems.

2.102.

Figures indicating the year should follow the jacket number in signature marks:

125—327—08——4

116—529—08—vol. 1——3

116—529—08—pt. 5——3

2.103.

When the allmark (○) and signature or the imprint and signature appear on same page, the signature line is placed below the allmark or imprint. (See rule 2.117.)

2.104.

The allmark is placed below the page, bulletin, or circular number but above the signature line, if both appear on the same page.

2.105.

Imprints and signature lines appearing on short pages of text are placed at the bottom of the page.

2.106.
