Chapter LXIV prescribes two carbons per story, one retained and one for a company that asks for a copy when it sends payment, on carbon sheets of another colour and heavy-weight carbon paper. It names 'a plot book' and 'a manuscript record' but does not describe either or give a record layout; a search of the chapter finds no recommendation of a dictionary or other reference book. Postage weight is to be checked on a post-office scale. Where the record is described is outside this range.
