In a letter to the United States Patent Office, Wheeler describes how wrapping-paper (that's what he called toilet paper) used to be packaged. He wrote, "In the manufacture of wrapping-paper it is usual to cut the same into sheets, count them out into quires or half-quires, fold them, and tie them up into bundles, such as half-reams or reams."
在给美国专利局(the United States Patent Office)递交的专利申请信上,惠勒详细解说了人们以前都是如何对“包装纸”(厕纸的委婉说法)进行包装的。他写道:“在包装纸的生产过程中,通常情况下,人们会将其切割成同样大小的一张张纸片,然后数出一刀或半刀(一刀纸相当于24张纸)为一叠,折叠起来,分别用绳捆在一起,最后形成一令装或半令装的包装纸(一令纸相当于20刀纸)。
Wheeler wrote about his improvements, "My invention consists of a roll of connected sheets of paper for toilet use, said roll having incisions at intervals extending from the side of the web toward the center, but not meeting, and terminating in an angular out, whereby the slight connection left may be separated without injury to the connected sheets."
