Yet Another T206 Sheet Size Discussion

[tedzan]

I will start this by reminding you that in a previous thread on this topic, you agreed with me that for T206 type printing,
American Lithographic (ALC) employed a 19-inch wide press. Furthermore, your research informed us that the standard
size (19" x 24") cardboard sheets were used by ALC to print these 1 7/16" x 2 5/8" cards.

Here is my simulated sheet diagram of the 12 subjects in the 460-only series that I refer to as the "Exclusive 12". For a
thorough explanation of this special group of 12 - T206's, check out this thread.....
EXCLUSIVE 12


...v.......................... Standard size sheet 19" wide x 24" long ...........................v




Hey guys, your mythical 34-card T206 sheet (17 across x 2 rows) is mathematically (and physically) impossible to fit on
a standard sheet of cardboard whose dimensions are 19" x 24".....whichever way you try to print it


Finally, there are a total of 156 subjects in the 150 series (with PIEDMONT backs). And, there are 12 subjects in the
150-only series. Therefore, 156 - 12 = 144 subjects which were printed with both the 150 & 350 backs.

My math strongly suggests a factor of 12 is evident here (and throughout the White-bordered & Gold-bordered tobacco
card structure).

156 subjects, or 144 subjects, or 48 subjects, or 12 subjects, are not divisible by "17" ......not in this world.
