objects. The wads are each formed of two sheets of paper, each of a standard size which measures about 76X 48 cm., one sheet being medium thick brown paper and the other tissue paper; these sheets are placed together and turned inward around the edges to form a wad with the tissue paper on the outer surface roughly oval in shape, about 20 cm. long by I5 cm. wide, and about 5 cm. deep. In a packing case these wads are packed firmly below, around, and above each object, to provide a resilient bedding. With this method of packing the objects are deliberately left unwrapped, in order to reduce the possibility of damage during unpacking, except when an object needs wrapping on account of a fragile surface. Mention is also made of the modifications which are necessary to the method of packing when the objects to be protected are relatively very large or very small.
