Bookbinding: Book Pressed Under Weights

A book in the process of being bound is pressed under heavy weights. The items used as weight from top to bottom are: a 6.5 pound Folger Adam prison lock, a 6 pound railroad spike plate, a 40 pound 1000VA isolation transformer, and a junk textbook. The cardboard under the folio protects it by preventing dirt particles on the cowhide rug from embossing little pits on the cover.
