Copyright note Although this document is protected by copyright, my understanding is that a copyright does not cover concepts, so anyone who uses ideas they discover in this document has no obligation to me. From my review of a number of patents for perpetual calendars, I have concluded that some of the ideas in this document would have been patentable if I had chosen to disclose them by way of patents rather than by way of this document and my book, Practical Perpetual Calendars Innovative, Convenient and Green. Therefore, readers who use the new ideas presented in this document or my book to manufacture calendars are effectively gaining access to patents without being required to pay royalties. Since this could be of considerable economic benefit, I encourage manufacturers to send me a very modest gratuity of CAN$0.02 per calendar for the first 100,000 produced between now and December 31, 2027, in lieu of a royalty. I also encourage readers who like this article, but have not purchased my book to send me a modest gratuity of say CAN$5 or to suggest that their local library add my book to their collection. The table below provides more details of the suggested gratuity. Total number of calendars manufactured Suggested gratuity (may be all of one type or of mixed types) (see paragraph below table on how to pay) 100 or fewer Covered by: 1. Purchasing my book Practical Perpetual Calendars, OR 2. sending me a gratuity of CAN$5, OR 3. suggesting that your local library add my book to their collection More than 100, but fewer than 1,000 CAN$20 1,000 or more, but fewer than 100,000 CAN$0.02 per calendar 100,000 or more CAN$2,000 The suggested gratuity of CAN$0.02 per calendar is based on calendars that sell for $1 or more each. When the price is less, the gratuity can be proportionally less, but the minimum payment should be $10 if more than 100 calendars are produced. The gratuity can be paid to my PayPal account.

1. Introduction This document describes what I consider to be some of the better calendars in my book, Practical Perpetual Calendars Innovative, Convenient and Green. The designs that I have chosen are ones that I consider to have the most potential for success in mass marketing. For some of the designs described in this document, I show more details than are shown in my book. However, as in my book, the emphasis is more on how to use the concepts than on how to replicate my prototypes. In my book, I define four types of perpetual calendars which are: 1. Single-Sheet Perpetual Calendars These calendars display one month at a time and use the same sheet for all of the months. They may have either a single-slider or a dual-slider configuration. 2. Multisheet Perpetual Calendars with a Year Table on Each Sheet These calendars also display one month at a time, but they use more than one sheet for the months. Each sheet has a year table on it. 3. Multisheet Perpetual Calendars with a Single Year Table These calendars also display one month at a time, but they use more than one sheet for the months. There is a single year table that is used by all of the sheets. 4. Full-Year Perpetual Calendars These are calendars that display all of the months of the year on one sheet. Figure 1-1 shows the front cover of my book and Table 1-1 lists the calendars on it along with the types of calendars they are and the reason for choosing the design. Table 1-1 Calendars Shown on the Cover of Practical Perpetual Calendars Calendar Description Type of Calendar Reason for Choosing Wall calendar Type 2 - multisheet perpetual calendar with a year table on each sheet Wall calendars are a large potential market Clock with a calendar below it Type 1 - single-sheet perpetual calendar with dual-slider configuration Typical of something combined with a calendar. Other applications are a calendar below a picture or above hooks for hanging keys.

This one is easy to build. See Figure 9-1 for another Type 3 calendar that is quite different. Multisheet desk calendars are a large potential market. This one has more characteristics in common with conventional desk calendars than the one with 7 columns. These calendars are representative of the four types defined in my book. They, and variations of them, have potential for success in mass marketing. Sections 2 to 7 below describe the above calendars. Sections 8 to 11 describe other designs which I consider to have potential for mass marketing. Table numbers proceeded by A, e.g. Table A4-1, are in the Appendix. Table 1-2 lists all the calendars that are described in this document.

Wall calendar Figure 2-1 is the wall calendar on the cover of my book. It is a multisheet perpetual calendar with a year table on each sheet. There is a moving window on each sheet. The 12-sheet design is used to have the same number of sheets as a conventional wall calendar. As shown in Figure 2-1, the calendar sheet is below the picture. This sheet has the applicable day-of-month table from Table A4-1 at the bottom and the applicable year table at the top. The year table for January and February is Table A4-8 and the year table for March to December is Table A4-7. In Table A4-1, the day-of-month tables have 7 rows. The only month that needs the 7 th row is July. The number of rows can be reduced to 6 by writing 24/31 in the left most cell in the 6 th row for July. The calendar shown in Figure 2-1 has this compaction. In Figure 2-1, the space below the name of the month is blank. This space can be used to write on permanent dates. For example, the line 1 Canada Day can be written on the sheet for July. The two boxes on the day-of-month table that have 1 in them can be shaded or otherwise marked to indicate that it is a special day. Birthdays and anniversaries can be similarly indicated. On the sheet for September the line Labour Day first Monday of the month can be written. Figure 2-2 shows a calendar sheet and window for converting an existing wall calendar to a perpetual calendar. The calendar sheet is 8.5 by 11 inches and can be made from paper or light weight cardstock. The window is made from the same material as the calendar sheet. The steps to make the calendar are: 1. Make 12 calendar sheets using the pattern in Figure 2-2. If the existing calendar has a description or a caption for the picture above the calendar sheet, add it to the sheet. 2. Make 12 windows using the pattern in Figure 2-2. 3. Cut the slits above and below the day-of-month tables. 4. Cut the H slits in the windows. 5. Put a window on each calendar sheet. 6. Using glue or double-sided tape, cover each old calendar sheet with a perpetual calendar sheet. All four edges are glued to the old sheet. I have converted a calendar following the above procedure. For the calendar sheets and windows, I used standard 20 lb. printer paper. Although this paper is a little delicate for a sliding window, it is adequate for a calendar that is only set once a year. I estimate the lifetime of my calendar to be 5 to 10 years. To make a wall calendar from scratch, I suggest using heavier paper, say 65 lb. cardstock. I also suggest the slightly different construction shown in Figure 2-3. With this construction the only 6

gluing required is at each end of the day-of-month table. This is easier than having to glue all four edges of an 8.5-inch by 11-inch sheet. Figure 2-4 shows an arrangement where the year table is below the day-of-month table. This is an alternative to the arrangements in Figure 2-1 to 2-3. 3. Clock with a calendar below it Figure 3-1 is the clock with a calendar on the cover of my book. The calendar is a single-sheet dual-slider type. It has three windows which are: marker window above the year table, monthtable window above the SMTWTFS line, and day-of-month table window below the SMTWTFS line. The month slider on the calendar is from Table 3-1 below, the year table is from Table A3-9b, and day -of-month slider is from Table A3-1. Table 3-1 is a slightly different arrangement of Table A3-8. The most significant difference is that the marker is beside the month table rather than below it. The window for the marker is the same height as the window for the month table. When the slider is in any position other than the far right and next to far right positions, parts of the month table appear in the marker window. These parts are to be ignored. When the arrangement in Table A3-8 is used, no part of the month table is visible is the marker window. The side view in Figure 3-1 suggests parts and construction details. Table 3-2 lists the main parts needed to make the clock with a calendar. Table 3-1 Month Table for Calendar Below Clock in Figure 3-1 L. Yr. Feb. L. Yr. L. Yr. L. Yr. Jan. L. Yr. L. Yr. Feb. L. Yr.

Table 3-2 Main Parts for a Clock with a Calendar Below It Part Name Face Backing for face Strip at top of backing Description Paper or thin cardstock that has clock and calendar faces printed on it. Dimensions are approximately 8 inches by 11 inches, with an 8 by 8 square for the clock and a 3 by 8 rectangle for the calendar. The calendar face has the year table, a row with SMTWTFS printed on it and space for instructions or some artwork. There are the following windows: one above the year table for the marker, one above the SMTWTFS row to display seven columns of the month table, and one below the SMTWTFS row to display seven columns of the day-of-month table. Hardboard or plywood that is 1/4 inch thick. It has the same windows as the face. Wood strip to bring assembly out from the wall and to provide something to hang the assembly from. Hang from 7

Part Name Clock Spacers behind calendar Calendar back Month table slider Day-of-month table slider Description two nails in the wall by putting notches in the strip to slip over the nails. (Since the sliders move, the centre of gravity is not fixed so two hanging points are needed.) Purchase a clock movement kit from Michaels or another craft store. To simplify the graphics for the face, purchase a kit that includes stick-on numbers. Make from 1/4-inch-thick plywood or other material. Design the calendar face so that all three spacers are the same size. Make from 1/8-inch thick hardboard. Alternatively, thick cardstock can be used. Consists of a face made from thin cardstock or paper which is glued to backing made from 1/8-inch thick hardboard. Same construction as month table slider. When the spacers are made from 1/4-inch thick material and the sliders are made from 1/8-inch thick material covered with thin cardstock or paper, the sliders fit loosely between the face and the back. To make them fit more tightly, the ends of their backs can be built up with layers of cardstock or with thin washers. Figure 3-1 shows a white dot on the marker and a black dot in the centre column of the day-of-month slider. These are locations for attaching raised pieces to push the sliders. The preceding discussion, in keeping with my book, is intended to provide some ideas on how to make a clock with a calendar below it, rather than provide a detailed design. The design can be adapted to make a product that has a picture rather than a clock above the calendar or a product that has hooks for keys below the calendar. Figure 3-2 shows the face of a clock with a single-sheet single-slider calendar below it. The slider on the calendar is from Table A3-11 and the year table is from Table A3-9b. This design is slightly easier to make than the design in Figure 3-1 as there is only one slider instead of two and two windows instead of three. With the year table above the SMTWTFS line, this design is not as adaptable as the dual-slider design to making a product that has a picture above the calendar or a product that has hooks for keys below the calendar. 4. Pocket calendar Figure 4-1 is the pocket on the cover of my book, which is a single-sheet single-slider type with a moving slider. The slider is from Table A3-12 and the year table is from Table A3-9b. The pocket calendar is designed to fit into a 2.375 3.5-inch envelope, which is the standard size used to hold credit cards, hotel key cards, business cards and ID cards. Figure 4-1 has a year table that covers the years 2000 to 2050. A prototype made from this figure is a little narrower than the envelope, so another two rows of years could be added to extend the coverage to 2065. The single-sheet single-slider perpetual calendar is a versatile calendar that can be used in many applications. One is the clock calendar in Figure 3-2, which is mentioned in Section 3. Another 8

application with a large potential market is a tent desk calendar. I considered showing a singlesheet single-slider desk calendar on the cover of my book instead of the pocket calendar. However, I wanted to show the two multisheet tent desk calendars and did not want three similar looking calendars. In Figure 4-1, there are two slits on each side of the window so that the ends of the slider are brought up to the front of the calendar. This is done so that the calendar can be glued to the inside cover of a notepad and still have the ends of the slider accessible. In a tent desk calendar, the ends of the slider are behind the front. Figure 4-2 shows the body of a singlesheet single-slider tent desk calendar made from one 8.5 x 11-inch sheet of cardstock. Note that the slider is beside the body of the calendar and that it is rotated 90 degrees counter clockwise. To draw this figure using Excel, draw the slider below the body with it not rotated. Then copy the slider as a picture, paste the picture in a convenient location on the spreadsheet, rotate the picture 90 degrees counter clockwise, and move the picture beside the body. The resulting tent calendar has a face 5.75 inches wide by 3.75 inches high. Figures 5-1a and 5-1b in Practical Perpetual Calendars shows a similar tent calendar with a face 6.5 inches wide by 4.0 inches high. One 8.5 x 11-inch sheet of cardstock is used to make the body and a second sheet is used to make five sliders. Figure 4-3 shows a single-sheet single-slider with a moving-window calendar, which can be used for a pocket calendar or on the inside cover of a notepad. It is an alternative to the calendar in Figure 4-1. For the same overall size of calendar, the moving-window design can have slightly larger font than the moving-slider design. However, both designs have readable font and the choice of which design to use is mainly personal preference. 5. Full year calendar Figure 5-1 is the slider for the full year calendar on the cover of my book and Figure 5-2 is the face. The day-of-month tables on the slider for January and February in a leap year are from Table A4-3 and the remaining day-of-month tables are from Table A4-1. The year table on the face (Table A-13 at the end of these tables) is Table 4-7 rotated 90 degrees counter clockwise. Thus, the top row has the same years as the far-right column in Table 4-7. The second row has the same years as the next to the far-right column, etc. A feature in Figure 5-1 that is different than in other calendars is 7 markers arranged in a staircase rather than a single marker. This enables having the years in the year table in rows rather than in columns, which reduces the height of the year table. Only one of the 7 markers is visible in the window at a time. A single marker could have been used to point to one column of the year table in Table A4-9. With this arrangement the year table would have been 15 rows high compared to 7 rows. (The year table on the face is 9 rows high when the two rows with notes above the table are counted.). The full-year calendar in Figures 5-1 and 5-2 is designed to be made from cardstock and to fit in a three-ring binder. In this design, the ends of the slider are brought up to the face through slits that serve as tracks. The only pieces are the face and the slider. The same tables can be used to make full-year perpetual calendars from rigid materials for mounting on a wall. A simple wall calendar would consist of the following pieces: 1. Face made from thick cardstock. 9

2. Slider made 1/8-inch thick hardboard, plywood, plastic or similar material and covered with paper or thin cardstock that has the day-of-month tables printed on it. Thick cardstock without any backing may also be suitable. 3. Lower track made from 3/4-inch thick material with a rabbet cut to make a track. 4. Upper track which is identical to the lower track. 5. Push knob for moving the slider. It is mounted below the 29 on the January common year day-of-month table. If two knobs are needed, a second knob can be mounted below the 29 on the October day-of-month table. Thick cardstock is used for the face to have a material that is easy to print on and cut out windows. The face holds the tracks apart. If cardstock is not rigid enough, the face can be reinforced with a thin strip glued to each end. These strips would also add some decoration to the face. The above list and all discussions of construction details in this paper are intended to show one way of making a particular calendar. How a shop makes a calendar is dependent on the skills and equipment that the shop has for working with various material, and the effort and expense that the shop wants to invest. 6. Seven-column desk calendar Figures 6-1 to 6-3 show the parts of the 7-column desk calendar on the cover of my book. In Figure 6-1, the month table on the slider is from Table A3-8 and the year table is from Table A3-9b. Each of the day-of-month sheets in Figure 6-3 is for the first of the month falling on a different day of the week. All of the sheets have 31 days and 29, 30 and 31 are ignored as applicable. The two desk calendars on the cover of my book are possible replacements for conventional multisheet desk calendars, which are very popular. Table 6-1 compares the two. Table 6-1 Comparison of 7-Column and 13-Column Multisheet Perpetual Desk Calendars Feature 7-Column Calendar 13-Column Calendar Extra cost for making 50 or less per unit $1 per unit perpetual Size of numbers Same as conventional Approx. 60 percent of conventional Location of year table Hidden under calendar pad On each sheet Size of year table 100 years 60 years Month name Small letters on the slider Large letters on each sheet Need to ignore 29, 30 and Yes No 31? Development/setup effort Minimal Some, but not excessive Note: This table is based on Table 7-3 in Practical Perpetual Calendars The small letters on the slider for the name of the month is a disadvantage of the 7-column multisheet calendar. As stated in the operating notes in Figure 6-2, the procedure for changing to 10

the next month on the 7-column calendar is turn to the calendar sheet that has a black mark that lines up with the black mark for the month of interest. This is a more complicated procedure than for the 13-column calendar, where the page is simply turned. When replacing a conventional multisheet desk calendar with a perpetual calendar, the singlesheet desk calendar in Figure 4-2 should be considered as an alternative to a 7-column or a 13- column multisheet calendars. 7. Thirteen-column desk calendar Figures 7-1 and 7-2 show concepts of the 13-column desk calendar on the cover of my book. In Figure 7-1, the year tables are from Table A4-7. For January and February common years, only common years are shown. For January and February leap years, only leap years are shown. The day of month tables are as follows: Table A4-1 for January and February common years and March to December all years, and Table A4-3 for January and February leap years. The sheet for July is shown in the assembled tent calendar. The window is set for 2016. The description of the 13-column desk calendar in my book is based on the window being flipped down to turn over the calendar sheet. This is a convenient mode of operation, but I have not found a simple mode of construction that pushes the window against the sheets when the window is in place. For small quantity production where development expenses are desired to be kept low, a lift-out window is an alternative to a flip-down window. Figure 7-3 shows the concept. Figure 7-3 shows the lift-out-pad perpetual desk calendar, which is also a 13-column desk calendar. In this calendar, the pad is lifted out to change the month instead of flipping down or lifting out a window. The sheets are longer than the sheets in Figures 7-1 and 7-2 so that a picture can be on the left end. 8. Photo and key holders Figure 8-1 shows a single-sheet perpetual tent calendar with dual sliders. It is a simple cardstock calendar that is designed to hold a photo. The photo covers the year table, which is Table A3-9a. The month slider, which is the upper slider, is from Table A3-8 and the day-of-month slider is from Table A3-1. Practical Perpetual Calendars illustrates other photo holders that are made from rigid materials. The clock calendars in Figures 3-1 and 3-2 can be modified to be key holders. To do this, replace the clock above the calendar with a row of key hooks below the calendar. Figures 8-2 and 8-3 illustrate two other designs for key holders. Figure 8-2 is a dual-slider design. The year table is from Table A3-9a, the month slider is from Table A3-8, and the day-of-month slider is from Table A3-1. Figure 8-3 is a narrow-face, single-slider calendar with side year tables. The slider is from Table A3-16 and the year table is from Table A3-17. 11

9. Fixed window style multisheet perpetual calendar with a single year table Figure 9-1 illustrates the fixed window style multisheet perpetual calendar with a single year table. Like the lift-out-pad perpetual desk calendar in Figure 7-3, a pad is also lifted out to change the month. However, there is one year table beside the window instead of a year table on each sheet. The year table is from Table A4-9. The day-of-month tables for January and February in common years and March to December for both leap years and common years are from Table A4-1. The day-of-month tables for January and February in leap years are from Table A4-3. Figure 9-1 is a 14-sheet design so the 29 th of February is deleted from Table A4-1. 10. Ornate hybrid wall calendar Figure 10-1 illustrates an ornate hybrid wall calendar. This calendar uses the year table (Table A3-9b) and the month slider (Table A3-9) from the dual-slider. There is no day-of-month slider. Instead the tiles are arranged manually. 11. Perpetual wall calendars that can be written on A wall calendar can be made that has blank 8.5-inch by 11-inch sheets that are written on and replaced each year. Figure 11-1 shows the concept of a typical month sheet. This calendar has overall dimensions of approximately 18 inches high by 9 inches wide. The top 7 inches has a 13- column perpetual calendar similar to the one in the bottom part of Figure 2-1. The bottom 11 inches is a holder for a sheet of 8.5 by 11-inch paper for writing appointments and other information on. The holder has 0.5 inch strips along the sides and the bottom to hold the paper so that the area available for writing is 7.5 inches by 10.5 inches. Alternatively, the paper can be held in an 11-inch long slit on each side. Each line has enough space to hold the same amount of information as in a 1 3/8-inch square box on a conventional calendar. If more space is needed, information can be written on the back. The perpetual wall calendar in Figure 11-1 has some advantages over a conventional wall calendar, but there are also disadvantages. Table 11-1 compares the two. Table 11-1: Comparison of 13-column perpetual wall calendar with sheets that can be written on to a conventional calendar Feature Perpetual Calendar Conventional Calendar Yearly consumption of 12 sheets of plain 8.5 by 11-6 sheets of 11 by 17-inch 20 lb resources inch 20 lb paper paper printed in colour plus a Cost per year Pictures Approximately $0.25 if new paper is used, zero if recycled paper that has been printed on one side is used One small picture on each month that never changes cover sheet of heavier paper Approximately $5.00 12 new pictures every year 12

Feature Perpetual Calendar Conventional Calendar Need to write dates on calendars Each line has to be numbered by hand and the day of the week should be written on at least one day each week (An alternative to numbering each line by hand is to use sheets that have lines pre-numbered Calendar has date and day of the week preprinted on it Entering appointments that occur next year from 1 to 31.) A new sheet can be added to the holder for the month A calendar for the next year is needed and, if one is not available, the appointment must be entered elsewhere and transferred later As can be seen in the table, the perpetual calendar has the advantages of lower consumption of resources, much lower yearly cost and the ease of entering appointments that occur next year. In many cases, these advantages may not outweigh the considerable disadvantage of having to write the day of the week on the lines by hand. If the lines are not pre-numbered, the day of the month also has to be written by hand. Instead of having the calendar sheet for the month above the sheet that is written on, the calendar sheet can be beside the replaceable sheet. Figure 11-1 can be rearranged to achieve this. A better way may be to modify a line-style monthly wall planner so a vertical slider calendar is beside the sheet that is written on. Figure 11-2 shows the line-style monthly wall planner before modification. The main modifications are to make room for an 8.5 by 11-inch sheet and to design sliders that are unique to each month. Each slider is held in place and guided by two horizontal slits that are similar to the vertical slits in Figure 4-2. Since the sheets that are written on are the same as in the 13-column calendar, the two calendars have the same advantages and disadvantages. In Table 1-2, the vertical slider calendar with sheets that can be written on is classified as a Type 2 calendar, which is a multisheet perpetual calendar with a year table on each sheet. This is the correct classification even though the calendar is made from 12 singlesheet perpetual calendars. A new reference Bear, Magdalen. Days, Months & Years A perpetual calendar for the past, present and future (Norfolk, England: Tarquin Publications, 1989). This book has a good story on the histories of the Gregorian and Julian calendars. The book has full year calendars for common years and leap years starting on the different days of the week, and has tables to determine which calendar to use for the year of interest. 13

APPENDIX: Tables for Calendars Introduction All of my perpetual calendars use one or more of the following tables: day-of-month table, year table and month table. The same table may be used in several designs. For this reason, all the tables are grouped together in this Appendix rather placed with each design. The first character for each table number is A to designate Appendix and the following characters are the same as in my book. With this numbering, not all numbers in a sequence are used, as some tables in the book are for explaining a concept and are not used in a calendar design. In some cases, notes have been added to the tables for clarity or other minor changes have been made, so a table with the same numbers after the A may not be exactly the same as the table in the book.

The following procedure is used to add years not shown to Tables 3-17a and 3-17b: 1. Imagine that the columns in Table 3-17a are labeled Sunday to Saturday from left to right and the columns in Table 3-17b are labeled Sunday to Friday. 2. If the year is a common year, enter it in Table 3-17a under the day of the week that January 1 falls on. If January 1 falls on Sunday to Friday, also enter the year in Table 3-17b. 3. If the year is a leap year, enter it in Table 3-17a under the day of the week after the day of the week that January 1 falls on. If the day of the week after the day of the week that January 1 falls on is Sunday to Friday, also enter the year in Table 3-17b. 20

It is shown in its lowest position. This is the setting for January and October in 2017. 21

The following procedure is used to add years not shown to Table 3-18: 1. Imagine that the rows in the year table are labeled Saturday to Sunday from top to bottom. 2. If the year is a common year, then enter it beside the day of the week that January 1 falls on. 3. If the year is a leap year, then enter it beside the day of the week after the day of the week that January 1 falls on. Variations of the single-sheet perpetual calendar The tables in Sections A2 to A4 can be used to make the following variations of the single-sheet perpetual calendar: 1. Dual-slider, which has the year table beside the day-of-month window. (Use Tables A3-1, A3-8 and A3-9.) 2. Dual-slider, which has the year table above the day-of-month window. (Use Tables A3-1, A3-8 and A3-9. Modify Table A3-8 so that the marker is in the same column as January common year.) 3. Single-slider, with the year table below the day-of-month window and the slider. (Use Table A3-12 for the month and year tables. The year table in Table A3-12 is Table A3-9b. If preferred, Table A3-9a or A3-9c can be used instead.) 4. Single-slider, with the year table above the day-of-month window and the slider. (Use Table A3-12 with the slider modified so that the month table is above the day-of-month table instead of below it.) 5. Single-slider, with year tables beside the day-of-month window. (Use Tables A3-16 and A3-17.) 6. Single-slider vertical calendar. (Use Table A3-18.) Note that all of these variations have March through December in the month table being the same for common and leap years. Other than Table A3-1, all of the tables referred to in these variations are either Table A3-8 for the month table, or A3-9 for the year table, or derivations of them. Similar calendars can be made using Table A3-6a or A3-6b as the month table and Table A3-7 as the year table, or derivations of them. When these tables are used, all the months in the month table for common years are separate from the ones for leap years. The single-slider design with the year table below or above the slider is ideal for a simple desk calendar where height is not a concern. The dual-slider design with the year table to one side requires less height and is preferred when a picture is above the calendar or key hooks are below it. An advantage of the dual-slider design over the single-slider design is that once the month slider is set for the year of interest, the day of the week that the first of each month falls on is displayed. Where minimum height is desired, the single-slider design with year table(s) beside the day-of-month window is an alternative to the dual-slider design. The single-slider vertical calendar can be used for planners, wall calendars and lamps. 22

Variations of multisheet perpetual calendar The tables in Section A6 can be used to make the following calendars: 1. Multisheet with a year table on each sheet 14 sheets. (Use Tables A4-1, A4-3 and A4-7.) 2. Multisheet with a year table on each sheet 12 sheets. (Use Tables A4-1, A4-7 and A4-8.) 3. Multisheet with a single year table 14 sheets. (Use Tables A4-1, A4-3 and A4-9.) 4. Single-sided slider full-year calendar. (Use Tables A4-1 and A4-3 for the day-of-month tables, along with the year table in Table A4-9. 5. Seven-column multisheet calendar with a single year table. (Use Table 3-8 for the month table, which is on a slider, and Table 3-9a, 3-9b or 3-9c for the year table. Use concepts from Table A4-12b to develop a day-of-month sheet for each of the seven days of the week.) 27
