ONLINE MUSEUM: The lines paper
lines paper from the '50s
Does anyone know when this innocent-looking instrument of punishment was abolished at QE  (or even if it was abolished)?  As I remember, you were free to copy out any old text as long as you filled the paper with sprawl.  That always seemed a bit odd to me.  This particular piece, for 25 lines (one side) or 50 (both sides) has survived from the 1940s in the care of Philip Ward.
