or the place to which the publication shall be sent and under it is the
name of the institution or society and what postal address be considered
necessary.
Under the address, a notification is made in pencil, giving the time
when the exchange relation started and stating which volumes or years
were despatched to the recipient on that occasion. A note is also made of
those volumes or years eventually sent later on for completion and of the
last volume despatched, when exchange relations cease, or for some reason
or other become interrupted. Down in the right hand corner of the card
a note is made of the name of the publication or publications which the
library receives in exchange, and down in the left hand corner other
publications which the same recipient eventually receives from the University
library.
When a year, volume or number of a periodical, or of any similar
serial work arrives at the University library for exchange purposes, the
number of the received publications is controlled by means of the
information ön the control- and leading-cards. This done, the number of the year,
volume or fascicle is notified ön the control card, as well as the date of
arrival, after which, all distribution cards belonging to the publication in
question are withdrawn and the address-slips are made out. Thanks to the
fact that the addresses already ön the distribution cards are made out in
the way they should be, in order to be correct — as a rule in the language
of the recipient or in English, French or German, — the addressing can
be done by an assistant unstudied in language, or by an attendant. The
writing out of addresses by hand is nowadays generally abandoned and
instead, the »Adrema» addressers are used to save time and labour. The
fundamental principle of the »Adrema» consists in loose metal plates on
which the addresses are stamped in accordance with the distribution card.
The address is then transferred to the envelope or address slip, by means
of a simple hand-apparatus, which presses the plate on to a coloured ribbon
resting ön the envelope or address slip. Ön change of address, the same
plate may be used several times and the re-stamping is comfortably cheap.
The »Adrema» plates are kept in cases specially contrived for the purpose,
where they lie in the same order as the distribution cards and are divided
up in exactly the same groups as these.
Ön the introduction of a new exchange relation a distribution card is
made out at the same time and ön this a provisionary note is made
con-cerning the entry, as to the date of the enquiry, the enclosed sample of
