Clamps, was re: Back- check leathers

[Michael Gamble]

Hello List and Alan
You are right! They could be called clips.... whatever. And ... true! .. 
most draftsman's work is now done on the computer - yet I dare say you will 
find these very useful clips at a Stationers shop. Stationer? That is to do 
with paper, pencils, pens and inks etc. All these things are generically 
"Stationery" - and are Tax Deductible.
