SIZES AND METHODS OF PREPARING DRAWINGS ACCOMPANYING PROVISIONAL OR COMPLETE SPECIFICATIONS.
Drawings.
40.—(1.) The provisional or complete specification need not be accompanied by drawings if the specification sufficiently describes the invention without them; but if drawings are furnished they should accompany the provisional or complete specification to which they refer, unless the applicant desires to adopt the drawings lodged with the provisional specification as the drawings for the complete specification, when they must be referred to as those “left with the provisional specification.”
(2.) The drawings must show every feature of the invention covered by the specification.
(3.) When the invention consists of an improvement upon an old machine, the drawing must exhibit the invention disconnected from the old structure, and also, in another view, the specific improvement and such parts of the old structure as necessarily co-operate with it. When the drawings illustrate an invention for which an additional patent is sought under section 85 of the Act, the improved or varied portions shall be drawn in full black lines, and so much of the original invention as may be necessary to show the connexion or action shall be repeated and shown in dotted outlines in proper relation to the improved part.
(4.) Drawings must be delivered at the Patent Office either flat or on rollers, so as to be free from creases, folds, or breaks.
Requirements as to paper, &c.
41. Drawings must be made on pure white tough drawing paper, not thinner than 100 sheets to the inch, of smooth surface and good quality, and without colour or Indian ink washes.
Size of drawings.
42. Drawings must be on sheets 13 inches at the sides by 8 inches at the top and bottom. The illustrations shall be inside a border rectangle 12 inches by 7 inches, leaving a margin half-an-inch wide. When an exceptionally large drawing is essential, it may be drawn in sections on several detached sheets. There is no limit to the number of sheets. The figures should be numbered consecutively throughout.
Quality of ink, &c.
43.—(1.) To insure their satisfactory reproduction on a reduced scale, all lines shall be in absolutely black Indian ink, and shall be uniform in thickness or gradation.
(2.) Section and shade lines shall not be closer than 30 per inch, and shading lines shall preferably be avoided.
(3.) Sections of plates and small pieces may be in solid black.
(4.) Reference letters and figures must be bold, distinct, not less than one-eighth of an inch in height, and should be placed in an upright position, and the same letters and figures must be used in different views of the same parts. Reference letter or figures shall in case of the larger parts be placed upon the parts, and in the case of smaller parts be placed to one side of the drawing and connected by a fine line to the parts to which they refer.
(5.) When the character of the drawings permits, such words as “plan,” “elevation,” and brief descriptive names of parts, such as “generator,” “dipping tank,” “high pressure cylinder,” may be added; but no connected description, phrase, or sentence, shall appear on the drawings.
Scale of drawings.
44.—(1.) The scale adopted shall be large enough to show clearly wherein the invention consists, and only so much of the apparatus, machine, &c., need be shown as effects this purpose.
(2.) When the scale is shown on the drawing, it should be denoted, not by words, but by a divided line. Related drawings, such as “plan” and “elevation,” shall be drawn to the same scale, and be arranged in proper relative positions, where practicable.
Drawings to be signed by applicant, &c.
45. Each sheet of the drawings shall be signed by the applicant or his agent, as near the lower right-hand corner inside the border line as is convenient.
Identifying marks.
46.—(1.) In the case of drawings left with a complete specification after a provisional specification, the number and date of the application shall be given in the lower left-hand corner, outside the border line.
(2.) In the case of all drawings, the total number of sheets, and the number of each sheet, shall be stated on each sheet in the top right-hand corner, outside the border line.
Professional designation.
47. No professional designation, or advertisements, or addresses, will be permitted upon the face of the drawings or anywhere upon the tracings.
Duplicates of drawings.
48.—(1.) A fac-simile of the original drawings prepared strictly in accordance with the regulations governing original drawings must be lodged with the original drawings.
Tracing.
(2.) A fac-simile prepared on tracing cloth must also be lodged.
Marking of original and copies.
49. The words “Original” or “True Copy,” as the case requires, must, in each case, be placed in the centre at the top of each sheet, outside the border line.
DECLARATIONS AND AFFIDAVITS.
Form, &c., of statutory declaration and affidavit.
50. The declarations and the affidavits required by these Regulations, or used in any proceeding thereunder, shall be headed in the matter or matters to which they relate, and shall be in the first person, and shall be divided into paragraphs consecutively numbered, and each paragraph shall, as nearly as possible, be confined to one subject. Every declaration or affidavit shall state the description and true place of abode of the person making it, and shall be written or printed bookwise, and shall bear the name and address of the person leaving it, and the name of the person on whose behalf it is left.

Form of declaration.
52. Unless any particular form of declaration is prescribed, any declaration for the purposes of these Regulations may be in accordance with the Form El in the Second Schedule. A statutory declaration in accordance with the law of the place in which the declaration is made may, however, be accepted as a declaration in lieu of a declaration in accordance with that Form.
Declaration in patent application not affected.
53. Nothing in these Regulations as regards declarations shall necessitate any further signature or attestation to the declaration contained in the form of application for a patent than that directed by section 33 of the Act.
