E OF DUAL COATED MANIFOLD SHEET WITH IN VENTO}? Thomas W Busch PRESSURE RUPTURABLE MATERIALS Original Flled Dec 20, 1965 METHOD FOR MANUFACTUR United States Patent 3,535,140 METHOD FOR MANUFACTURE OF DUAL COATED MANIFOLD SHEET WITH PRES- SURE RUPTURABLE MATERIALS Thomas W. Busch, Appleton, Wis., assignor to Appleton Coated Paper Company, Appleton, Wis., a corporation of Wisconsin Continuation of application Ser. No. 514,778, Dec. 20, 1965. This application Mar. 26, 1969, Ser. No. 834,572 Int. Cl. B41m 5/16 US. Cl. 117-36.2 3 Claims ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE The preparation of a manifold sheet having a relatively smooth curl-free coating of a clay composition on one side and a relatively smooth curl-free coating of rupturable encapsulated material on the opposite side in which the coatings are applied in tandem in a single coating pass with the clay coating applied before the coating of encapsulated materials and without the application of pressure for smoothing either of the coatings.
This application is a continuation of application Ser. No. 514,778, filed Dec. 20, 1965, now abandoned.
This invention relates to the art of coated papers and it relates more particularly to the method and apparatus for the fabrication of a two side coated manifold sheet in which at least one of the coatings is formulated with a pressure sensitive material of the type described in the patents hereinafter set forth.
This invention will be described with reference to the manufacture of a manifold sheet adapted for use as an intermediate sheet of a manifold assembly and in which the manifold sheet is sometimes referred to as a colorless carbon. It will be understood that the concepts of this invention will have application also to the manufacture of other two side coated paper products in which one or both of the coatings contain materials which are pressure sensitive such as a coating containing pressure rupturable capsules.
In the US. Pat. Nos. 2,299,693; 2,374,862; 2,548,366; 2,712,507; 2,730,456; 2,730,457; 2,800,457; 2,929,736; 2,932,582; 3,020,171; 3,104,980, and 3,129,103, description is made of a copy process and materials for use in the practice of same in which separate coatings are provided on suitable carrier sheets in which one of the coatings is formulated to contain a liquid reactant such as a colorless dye component dissolved in a liquid solvent and which is encapsulated in microscopic capsules uniformly distributed throughout the coating (hereinafter referred to as the emulsion coat), while the other coating is formulated of clay or other particulate substance which is adapted to react with the liquid in response to release from the capsules to form a colored image (hereinafter referred to as the clay coat). When the coating containing the encapsulated liquid is positioned in surface contact with the clay coating, no color develops until pressure is applied by pen, pencil, stylus, typewriter key, die impression or the like, or by heat to rupture the capsules in the imaged areas whereby the liquid released from the ruptured capsule wets out the adjacent receptive material in the clay coating to develop the image.
In a manifold assembly, the top sheet in the assembly will be fabricated with only its underside coated with the emulsion coat, while the bottom sheet in the assembly will be coated on its top side with only the clay coating. All of the sheets in between will be coated on the underside with the emulsion coat and on the top side with the clay coat in a two side coated sheet.
Since the emulsion coat comprises the more expensive Patented Oct. 20, 1970 materials and therefore represents the more expensive coating, it is desirable to fabricate the clay coat with a high degree of surface smoothness so as to be able to make more effective contact with the emulsion coat and maximize the utilization of the encapsulated liquid released from the coating. In the light of the fact that the emulsion coat is sensitive to pressure which might rupture the capsules, it has been the practice to coat the paper first with the clay coat whereby the latter can be calendered to smooth the coating before application of the emulsion coat.
Considerable difficulty has been experienced in the fabrication of a two side coated paper with the pressure sensitive emulsion coating being the last to be applied since considerable curl and roll develops in the sheet in response to the removal of moisture and shrinkage during the drying step and the curl is incapable of being relieved at high speeds by the usual techniques of steaming or other mechanical operations which rely upon the application of mechanical breakers or the combination of heat and moisture. The curl or roll that forms in the sheet is perhaps due to the greater expansion and contraction of the emulsion coating in response to change in humidity or due to the extraction of water from the emulsion coating during drying.
It is an object of this invention to produce and to provide a method and means for producing a two side coated paper of the type described in which the coatings are sufficiently smooth and uniform throughout the surface of the sheet and wherein the coated sheet is relatively free of curl or roll so as to lie flat in the manifold assembly.
More specifically, it is an object of this invention to provide a method and means for the manufacture of two side coated paper in which at least one side is coated with a composition containing a pressure sensitive component; in which the dual coating can be carried out in a single continuous multiple coating process; in which the dual coated paper is relatively free of roll or curl, and in which the process can be carried out in a simple and efficient manner, with a minimum amount of time, labor, and equipment.
These and other objects and advantages of this invention will hereinafter appear and for purposes of illustration, but not of limitation, an embodiment of the invention is shown in the accompanying drawing, in which:
FIG. 1 is a schematic elevational view of a coating machine embodying the features of this invention, and
FIG. 2 is an enlarged perspective view, partially in section, of a dual coated manifold sheet produced in accordance with the practice of this invention.
Although the invention is addressed to the method and apparatus for the dual coating of paper base stock, the problem sought to be overcome by this invention arises primarily by reason of the unique characteristics of the compositions with which the base paper is coated.
Briefly described, the emulsion coating is formulated of an aqueous composition containing rupturable microscopic capsules of tanned gelatin containing a liquid colorforming ingredient, such as a colorless dyestuff dissolved in an organic solvent. There may be included within the emulsion coating composition, a substantial amount (up to 50% by weight of the capsules) of a coarse, solid particulate material, such as cellulose fibers suspended with the rupturable capsules and in which a small amount of water soluble binder may be dissolved in the aqueous medium. For a more detailed description of the emulsion coating, reference may be made to the examples in US. Pat. No. 2,711,375, and others of the patents heretofore set forth.
The clay coating comprises an aqueous system having clay, such as attapulgite clay, in finely divided form, suspended therein, with or without other fillers such as calcium carbonate, silica gel, satin white and the like, and a small amount of resinous binder. For a more detailed description and formulation of the clay coating composition, reference may be made to the examples in the aforementioned patents.
Referring now to the concepts of the invention in a method and apparatus for the manufacture of intermediate sheets having dual coatings of the type described on opposite sides of the paper base sheet, the paper raw stock, such as l3-pound manifolding bond, is supplied in the form of rolls mounted for free rotational movement on a spindle 12 supported on the unwind stand 14. The web 16 of raw stock paper is passed from the roll 10 over a series of idler rollers and guide rollers 18 to a first coating station 20.
The first coating station comprises an applicator roll 22 in communication with a transfer roll 24 and a metering roll 26, the bottom portion of the transfer roll being immersed in a bath of the emulsion Coating composition in pan 28. The applicator roll 22 engages the bottom side of the paper web 16 as it passes between guide rolls and 32 to apply an excess of the emulsion coating composition to the bottom side of the paper web. An amount of emulsion coating composition corresponding to about 4% pounds per 3300 square feet is applied by the applicator roll at this first station.
From the first coating station 20, the one side coated web is advanced directly to an air knife 34 which co-operates with the turning roll 36 to meter the coating on the surfaces of the paper and uniformly to distribute the coating composition over the surface thereof. The coated web is advanced, while wet with the emulsion coating composition, from the air knife to a series of reverse rolls 38 and 40 which engage the applied coating while turning in a direction opposite to the linear movement of the web to work the coating, in the absence of pressure, to smooth the applied coating composition on the surface of the web. Such smoothing reversing rolls are uncommon in a coating operation but they are effective with compositions of the type described to break up clumps and to produce a pattern-free coating.
From the reversing rolls, the paper web, which has been turned about the roller 36, to position the coated side uppermost, is advanced through one section 42 of a drying oven maintained at a temperature of about 220 F. while supported on an endless belt 44. The upper run of the belt is supported on rollers 46 arranged in a substantially arcuate path through the dryer and, for this purpose, it is preferred to make use of a foraminous belt or a belt formed of a vapor permeable material to enable the escape of water vapor therethrough when released from the coating. The endless belt 44 turns about rollers 48 and 50 outside the dryer and the return run passes through the dryer section to maintain temperature while being supported on a bottom run of rollers 52 provided with a take-up roller 54 for maintaining the proper tension in the supporting belt.
The base paper 16 with the dried emulsion coating 60 on the top side thereof is passed from the drying oven 42 over a series of guide rollers and tensioning rollers 62 to a second coating station '64 whereby the clay coating composition is applied to the underside of the web opposite the dried emulsion coat. The second coating station is constructed somewhat similar to the first in that it comprises an upper applicator roll 66 in contact with the underside of the web as it passes between guide rollers 68 and 70. The applicator roll 66 is supported between a transfer roll 72 and a metering roll 74 which take up coating composition from a bath in the coating pan 76 in which the bottom portion of the transfer roll is immersed. The applicator roll is adjusted to apply the clay coating composition to the underside of the web in coating weights of about 3 /2 pounds per 3300 square feet.
From the coating station 64, the coated web is advanced to a second air knife 78 and over roller 80 which again operates to meter the amount of coating composition allowed to remain on the web and to distribute the coating uniformly across the web. Following the air knife, the clay coated surface is engaged by one or more reversing smoothing rolls 82 to smooth the coating by the reverse rolling technique previously described. While such reversing rolls are preferred for improving the smoothness of the coating, they are not essential for the clay coat.
From the smoothing rolls 82, the web coated on both sides and turned about the roller to position the dried emulsion coat lowermost with the Wet clay coat uppermost, is advanced over a suction apron 84 and then to an upper section 86 of the drying oven through which it is carried on the surface of a supporting endless belt 88. The upper run of the belt is supported on longitudinally spaced apart crosswise extending rollers 90 arranged in an arcuate path through the dryer and the belt continues to support the Web for a short distance beyond the exit of the dryer whereafter the belt turns downwardly and back about rollers for return through the oven. A take-up roller 92 is provided outside of the dryer for adjusting the tension of the belt. As with the belt 44, it is preferred to make use of a, vapor permeable belt to enable the escape of vapors therethrough during passage through the dryer.
The web 16 coated on one side with a dried emulsion coat 60 and on the opposite side with a dried clay coat 94 is passed over a series of guide rollers and tensioning rollers 96 to a wind-up roll 98 mounted on a winder stand 100 and powered to wind the coated web onto the roll. Thus the web is drawn through the coating apparatus and dryer under tension supplied by the wind-up roll.
It has been found that when use is made of air knives and smoothing rolls in the processing of the applied coating compositions, it becomes possible to dispense with calendering operations and to modify the coating sequence to provide for the application and drying of the emulsion coating composition in advance of the application and drying of the clay coat. Under such circumstances, it becomes possible to apply the separate coating compositions in sequence in a continuous operation on a continuously moving web thereby to obviate the necessity for making separate passes for each coating operation with a lapse of time between each coating application. Modification of the coating procedure to apply and dry the emulsion coating composition in advance of the application and drying of the clay coating composition has been found to result in a two side coated paper web which may be sheeted to form manifold sheets which lie substantially flat and which have little, if any, tendency to curl thereby to eliminate the necessity for a separate flattening operation or application of additional coatings for purposes of producing a flat sheet.
In accordance with the concepts of this invention, the clay coating composition is applied to the paper web after the emulsion coating composition has been applied to the opposite side of the paper and dried. In the event that the clay coating composition is applied before the emulsion coating or before the emulsion coating composition has been substantially dried, the resulting dual coated paper will be characterized by a decided curl or roll which make it less fit for use in duplicating or manifold sets or as a colorless carbon.
While the concepts of this invention find their best use in a continuous dual coating operation in a single coating pass, it will be understood that many of the advantages and improvements of this invention will be capable of achievement by first coating the web with the emulsion coating composition followed by smoothing and drying in one pass and then coating the opposite side of the web with the clay coating composition and drying in a subsequent separate pass.
It will be further understood that numerous changes may be made in the details of formulation and operation, without departing from the spirit of the invention, especially as defined in the following claims.
I claim:
1. In the method of producing at high speed a substantially colorless carbon manifold sheet having relatively uniform smooth coatings on opposite sides of the sheet Which is relatively free of curl, one side being coated with an aqueous emulsion containing pressure rupturable capsules of a liquid color forming material, the other side being coated with an aqueous clay coating composition, the steps of continuously moving a sheet of thin, nonabsorbent paper in a linear direction as an endless web, processing the continuously moving sheet in the order specified of metering an amount of an emulsion coating composition onto one side of the moving web of paper as a first coating, doctoring the applied emulsion coating While W612 with an air knife to meter the coating and uniformly to distribute the coating composition over the coated side of the moving web of paper, drying the emulsion coating while being supported in a relaxed state on a continuous conveyor surface with the emulsion side uppermost, coating the opposite side of the moving web of paper with a clay coating composition as a second coating, doctoring the coating while wet with an air knife to meter the coating and uniformly to distribute the clay coating composition over the surface of the moving web of paper, and then drying the clay coating, all of said operations being carried out as a continuous operation.
2. The method as claimed in claim 1 which includes the step of engaging the surface of the doctored emulsion coating, while Wet, with reverse smoothing rolls to work the coating and smooth the emulsion coating on the surface of the web of paper.

What color should I paint filing cabinets??
After checking out the cost of new filing cabinets, I have definitely decided to paint the 2 filing cabinets. I would love to hear advice on what color would look best in this office. I'm thinking black, but not sure.
I would consider just painting them the wall color to deemphasize them. File cabinets shouldn't really be a focal point and they are two different styles.
I was just going to say the same thing. They're very utilitarian looking so blend them into the wall. That would be what color, bandaid? lol
Seriously, if that's pink maybe pink filing cabinets feel odd or not versatile enough later. I wonder if you could do a stencil or something like we see the bloggers do.
There are quite a few examples out there.
I knew I could find a damask:
Some examples:
Here is a link that might be useful: examples
I was in the same situation, and I painted the cabinet a color that was very close to the wall color (since I could not get the wall color). The less attention drawn to them the better, and I think they should recede rather than stand out in contrast.
Are the two walls different colors? If so, I would paint the cabinets the color of the left wall, which appears to be lighter and less saturated.
I might also do the wall color so the room feels less cluttered with "equipment" which can feel stressful in a work environment. Less visual clutter or stimulation helps a lot of people keep a clear path in the mind!

My suggestion would be to do them along the lines of snookums pics. With stencils or spray adhesive on the back of an inexpensive lace fabric (and some craft paints or spray paint) it's a fairly inexpensive project with big potential for awesome-ness. :)
I know you're just looking for help with paint color, but as I was looking at that corner by the filing cabinets, I got to thinking it would look nice if you brought them down to desk level which would give you more counter space. There are lots of places that sell second hand office furniture and perhaps you could do a trade and get 4 lower cabinets and put a counter on top so things wouldn't drop between them. I searched for an example and found this picture which would give you a lot of counter space and keep everything at desk height. It's just a suggestion for down the road. And, no, your office looks nothing like the before picture. Please ignore that. It came with the example of the counter top.

My friend just decorated her MIL's office and she painted the filing cabinets and creamy color. Looks like she has the same wall color as you do.
Maybe this might help for inspiration.
Here is a link that might be useful: More photos and instructions
Thanks everyone for all the advice. You've all given me lots of things to consider. I'm still going back and forth over the color. aktill..I had commented on this photo in the past. She did an excellant job. I love the look of her cabinets under the desk by the wall, but don't feel I'm crafty enough to do this. chickadee..I like the idea of adding a counter top above the filing cabinet and it just so happen today while I was at walmart I found 3 filing cabinets for a good price. I'm going to pick them up tonight.
They are black and probably wont know if I like them till I get a counter top to go with them.(not sure where to start with that process.) If I don't like black, I will exchange for a neutral color. I'm trying to avoid painting for now(unless all else fails), I have too much going on to find the time to get them finished anytime soon.
I'll post photos of progress, If I like the filing cabinets when I get them.
Thanks so much for the help. I really appreciate getting others opinions when I'm in the process of updating or decorating.
I've just established a new office for myself at home, and it's a lot like aktillery's friend's MIL's office. I used a couple of doors for the surface, which might be what she did?
If my desk weren't such an unholy mess at present, i'd take a picture, and I will after the next few nutty days are over - but I took two old black lateral cabinets, painted them cream with Cabinet Coat, and wallpapered the drawer fronts with a big tone on tone cream stripe. I think they look just swell!
Thanks, dinobambino...I will.
And I am not nearly as crafty as lots of others here - in fact, I put the project off for weeks because I was not feeling particularly sure of myself. I meant at first to wallpaper the whole thing, but when I looked at all the corners and intersections of drawer, cabinet, and innards, I jettisoned that idea
I couldn't budge the heavy cabinets to take them outside, so spraying was out. Cabinet Coat was recommended in this forum and, I think, the paint forum as well.
So I primed everything, painted the bodies, made a brown paper template of the drawer fronts, wallpapered (pre-pasted), and Mod Podged the paper with the hard coat form.
I am ridiculously pleased with myself at how they came out!
Give me a week to get on top of things, because I am much too vain to let you see it in its current state, and I'll post some pictures.
Just went to Home Depot and saw their interior doors. They are ridiculously cheap and would make a great desk top, e.g. they were 24.00 for 80"x 24".
Also, look at the link below of the cabinets modgepodged with wrapping paper.
Here is a link that might be useful: repurposed file cabinets
Brown... Great, ill keep my eyes open for your post.
No soccer.. Thanks for the idea. That could be really cool.
These different ideas are what I love about this forum . I don't think you can even pay for all this diverse advice with using a designer. I appreciate everyone's ideas and advice.
I decided to order a laminate counter top from lowes. It should be in sometime this week.
This counter will give my office the space that I need for work or for scrapebooking, etc. (if i ever get time to finish the kids books)
With the changes I've already made to the office, has made it much more enjoyable to have to "work".
How exciting Dinobambino! My desk is made of filing cabinets and countertops. It was easy to customize the whole thing so that it goes wall to wall and it cost a fraction of what a "desk" would cost.
I love having the indestructible, easy to clean surface. Come back and show pictures when your office is finished.

Organizers' expectations exceeded by benefit
Love and generosity flowed like water at Saturday's benefit for Madysen Acey, even before a light rain near dark sent most of the activity from the parking lot to indoors at The Catfish Warehouse in Tunica.
Over $65,000 was raised from a variety of activities, including food and beverage sales, live and silent auctions, and admissions.
"All week long, I was praying for the benefit to make $20,000, and then when the chemical companies came through, I thought maybe $25,000, but I never dreamed it would bring in what it did," organizer JoAnn Ware said Monday.

connect dvd player to tv
layne56July 12, 2008
I need help connecting a dvd player to a 15 inch Magnavox LCD TV, year,2005.
Model # 1701 1903 2000, or 1936 1100 5761. Not sure which if either is model #. It is for my handicapped daughter.
Connect yellow, red, and white cables from the video and audio output of the DVD player to the matching colored audio video inputs on the TV.
Turn the power on to both of them.
Put a DVD into the DVD player and push the play button.
Select the TV's audio video inputs with either a button on the TV's remote control or on the front of the TV.
Should work.

Welcome, Didgiophiles!
Full Moon Jam
- Foster Beach @ the Fire Jam location
- 1/4 mile south of Foster beach, Chicago, IL (map)
Hosted by: Jonas M. (Organizer)
It's one of the most distinctive and unusual sounds you'll ever hear. It goes my many names: dijeridu, ngarrriralkpwina, ilpirra, yirtakki, garnbak, yiraka, artawirr, gunbarrk, mako, martba, kurmur, ngaribi, paampu, bambu, and mandapul (yidaki). Some even think that the didgeridoo has great spiritual power. It's a one-note instrument which makes it seem deceptively simple to play. With its deep resonance and unmistakable character defining wobble this instrument can be played in an infinite number of ways.
I wanted to create this group to meet other didgerdioo players and to give anyone who wants to learn how to play an opportunity to. Every few weeks we'll get together at Northerly Island beach, bring our didj's, and make some fun music. It's not meant to be serious, it's meant to be relaxing. Supposedly playing the didj has quite a few health benefits: it helps with sleep apnea, relieves stress, controls breathing, and is very meditative.
And if you don't want to play but would just like to listen, meditate, or do yoga or whatever floats you boat then feel free to join us.
Hosted by: Jonas M. (Organizer)
I started the group because there wasn't any other type of group like this. I've met some great folks in the group who have become close friends and have also met some amazing business owners.

The other day I was at lunch with a friend of mine when he accidentally offended me as an entrepreneur. He didn't mean to. Not in the slightest. And I'm not talking like a huge offense. No harm, no foul. But it got me thinking about this one word he used that could probably offend almost any entrepreneur. And people use it all the time when they talk about the projects we, as entrepreneurs, work so hard on. What's that

Make it three in a row for the Durham College men's basketball team.
The Lords notched their third straight victory by stifling the Loyalist Lancers 91-71 in Belleville recently.
OCAA scoring leader Rob Gagliardi had a huge night for Durham as he drained 38 points to go along with 16 rebounds, six steals and four assists. Gagliardi leads the league in scoring averaging 26.3 points per game. If he continues at this pace and plays in the Lords eight remaining home games, he will be the first OCAA player in over 20 years to eclipse 500 points in a season. Christoff Pierre and Tyler McGarrity also had big nights for the green and gold as they scored 20 and 15 points respectively. The Lords move into a tie for fourth place with the George Brown Huskies in the OCAA east region with matching 7-5 records. The Lords will be put to the test next weekend as they travel to Ottawa for a game against the Algonquin Thunder (10-2). The last time these two teams met, Algonquin pulled out an exciting 91-88 victory.

I have the Motorola DCX3400 and the iGuide A28. Thanks for all the info in an easy to read format for others. According to the original OP the DCX moto models will get version 3.0 (X1) of the guide sometime in 2013. I don't know why they don't push this out faster as they are already so far behind.
According to them the reason they are having so many issues is that they don't want to update the boxes and force users to lose their favorites, recorded DVR shows, series, etc. The problem I have with that response is that I lose those twice a year anyway? My favs always disappear or change by themselves, series recordings sometimes change on their own and I don't care if I lose shows on my DVR as long as they give me a date by which to watch everything before the switch.
Also still has a huge amount of DCH and DCT model boxes out there. What are all those users going to be stuck on the current guide forever?
quote:AnyRoom DVR is a separate feature that we are targeting for Houston in early 2013. Thanks for your patience.Ted Hodgins replied to comment from Kevin Stephenson | September 5, 2012 11:40 AM»blog.comcast.com/2010/05/new-gui ··· nt-57483
We've had the AnyRoom DVR service available here for quite sometime now. The South Florida market usually gets features and other test plans first. I wish they would make some moves as they are years behind. I remember getting the iGuide over ten years ago! Before then we had a yellow guide with (blue?) show lists in bubbles.
Now over the ten years they've added features, fav lists, recently MyDVR, etc but utilizing the same guide for a decade while everything else around has moved at warp speed is crazy. I look at my tiny phone which is more powerful than my home PC and with a 720p screen to boot and looking at my TV I'm brought back to reality having to remember what HCHD, WSVN, BTVHD, etc mean? Why can't they use full channel names?
Quality control isn't going to help when they never release anything? I mean what happened to the TIVO DVR, Tru2Way TV's & guide, switched digital video (SDV), Instant Info Widgets, and multiple "other" guide updates which they (Comcast) has named over the years?! I've never seen a company do so much and yet so little at the same time and never release anything new?
As for the always coming X1 platform: According to the Ted Hodgins Comcast blog you didn't have to get a specific box (Motorola DCX3501) as the X1 platform should work on all DCX models? Is the X1 a platform or a box as the X1 website doesn't show any box on the site or faqs? According to his blog it's a platform that can go on any capable (newer) box but I have no idea why Comcast is making their loyal customers suffer by limiting X1 service to NEW triple play customers ONLY! The only reason I can see is that they know they can't get away with a decade old guide today and new users would hate it right away (BYE BYE) but older, loyal users are just used to it so STFU. WTF?5th

The point spread also called "the line" or "the spread" is used as a margin to handicap the favorite team. For betting purposes, the oddsmaker predicts that the favored team will win by a certain number of points. This number of points is the point spread. The favorite is always indicated by a minus sign (e.g. -5.5) and the underdog without (e.g.5.5). If you bet on the favorite, you win your bet if the favorite wins AND their margin of victory is greater than the point spread. If you bet on the underdog, you win if the underdog wins, ties, or if the favored team wins but fails to exceed the point spread. It is standard for point spread bets in most sports that you wager $110 to win $100.
A money line, used in baseball and hockey, takes the place of a point spread. Money line betting is simply wagering on the contest based on a given price rather than a point spread. The team wagered on has to win the game outright, regardless of the score. The minus sign (e.g.-130) always indicates the favorite and the amount you must bet to win $100. The line without the minus sign (e.g.120) always indicates the underdog and the amount you win for every $100 bet. Using this example, therefore, you would bet $130 to win $100 on the favorite, while for the underdog you would bet $100 to win $120.
The Total also called "over/under" is the number of points oddsmakers expect will be the total score for the contest (both teams combined, overtime included). You bet on whether the total points scored will be more or less than this number. As with point spread bets, you must generally wager $110 to win $100.

This review is from: The Incal (Hardcover)
A great classic. Moebius' artwork is pure genius and the story has a smart esoteric underlaying (to be expected with Jodorowsky!). Shame, the original format is not respected and the book here is smaller. That leaves some of the text hardly readable. A good magnifying glass will be helpful!
