Abstract
A manifold form assembly has a front page and a back page, with each page having at least one image-receiving area disposed thereon. The original front page is disposed on one side of a first sheet and the original back page is disposed on the other side of the first sheet. The first sheet is movable between a first position in which the original front page is exposed for completion and a second position in which the original back page is exposed for completion. A pressure sensitive image-transferring system is provided integral with the assembly to transfer pressure-created images formed on the front and back page image-receiving areas. Duplicate front and back pages receive images transferred by the image-transferring system. A stub connects the original pages, the image-transferring system, and the duplicate pages into an integral form assembly. In one embodiment, a set of carbons transfer the pressure-created images from the original front sheet to the duplicate front sheets. The carbons are then removed and the first sheet is moved to its second position to expose the original back page. A carbonless system is provided between the original and duplicate sheets to transfer the …
