Soon afterwards, the same type IV booklets were printed on rotary presses, automatically
assembled in the workshop with advertising covers supplied by Courmont, and then sold
over the counter in line with the rules. Courmont eventually acquired one of these famous
rotary presses.
It was 199 C49, known for series 161, 167, 168 and 169 (fig.6) in the correct format of 120
x 72 mm.
The deck is still half a stamp wide and there is still no advertising on the margins. The
workshop had probably not yet resolved all the technical difficulties associated with prin-
ting advertising on its presses.
These were the only booklets of their kind, and the last.
All booklets coming after this would have advertising and a deck twice as wide.
