Price based on 3 pages d without license from IHS Not for Resale FOREWORD ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards institutes (ISO Member Bodies). The work of developing International Standards is carried out through iSO Technical Committees. Every Member Body interested in a subject for which a Technical Committee has been set up has the right to be represented on that Committee. International organizations, governmental and non-governmental, in liaison with isO, also take part in the work. Draft International Standards adopted by the Technical Committees are circulated to the Member Bodies for approval before their acceptance as International Standards by the ISO Council. International Standard iSO 2784 was drawn up by Technical Committee ISO/TC 95, Office machines, and circulated to the Member Bodies in April 1972. It has been approved by the Member Bodies of the following countries : Czechoslovakia Romania United Kingdom Egypt, Arab Rep. of South Africa, Rep. of U.S.A. Finland Spain U.S.S.R. France Sweden italy Switzerland The Member Bodies of the following countries expressed disapproval of the document on technical grounds : Canada ueder New Zealand @International Organization for Standardization,1974 Printed in Switzerland ardizao vithout license from IHS Not for Resale ISO 2784-1974 (E) INTERNATIONAL STANDARD Continuous forms used for information processing -- Sizes and sprocket feed holes 1 SCOPEAND FIELDOFAPPLICATION 4 DEPTH SIZES ThisInternationalStandardspecifiesthesizes of 4.1 The depth of A4 (upright 297 mm) shall be the continuous forms and the diameter and location of the guideline for the depth of separated forms. sprocket feed holes.
