(8)The cloth used for a bundle should be large enough to completely cover the records with it; convenient dimensions for one 7 inches deep are 3-1/2" x 1/2". To one corner of the cloth should be attached a piece of stout cotton twine of suitable length which, if passed tightly round the bundle breadth-wise, will both keep it compact and exclude dust. Such twine can be had in most headquarter stations and its purchase in the local market is permissible under stationery rules. The commonly practised method of closing a bundle by tying the four corners in a knot at the top makes it almost impossible to place one bundle immediately on the top of another and is prohibited.
