Bill File Made of Corkscrews
Bill File
An ordinary corkscrew makes a convenient file for small bills or memoranda. It may be thrown in any position without danger of the papers slipping off. A rack to hold a number of files can be made of a wood strip (Fig. 1) fitted with hooks or screw eyes cut in a hook shape, as shown in Fig. 2, Single bills may be separated from the others and will remain separated as in Fig. 3.
