Abstract
In a pad of alternating original and copy sheets all of them are provided with identical information-receiving columns indicating at their top the information to be entered. Cash and check entries made on the original sheets simultaneously appear on the copy sheets, and each original sheet is removed from the pad when filled out. The back of each copy sheet carries a list of different income and expense items, each identified by a different code number for entry, where appropriate, on the underlying original sheet beside the corresponding cash or check entry.

A cash and check register comprising a pad of rectangular sheets bound together along one longitudinal edge;

- a sheet directly above the uppermost original sheet having on its back a list of different income and expense items each identified by a different code number;
- said list being visible while entries are being made on said uppermost original sheet;
- each copy sheet having on its back a list the same as said first-mentioned list and visible while entries are being made on the original sheet below said copy sheet;
- each of said original and copy sheets being provided with a plurality of information-receiving columns extending from top to bottom thereof with each column indicating at its top the information to be entered in that column;
- said columns being the same on all original and copy sheets and being identified for entry of check number, date, payee, cash disbursements and check distribution, code number from said list, check amount and account balance;
- each original sheet being such that the entries being written on it appear on the underlying copy sheet also;

- the front of said folded extension carrying a list of different number-coded income and expense items that are different from those in said first-mentioned list;
