§ 40. INTERPRETATION.] Section 39 shall be interpreted in harmony with the following provisions:

(1) In computing composition in class 1 the type shall be measured as if it had been set solid; necessary fractions of pages may be counted as full pages, but no blank pages shall be charged for.

All composition shall be measured as plain work of this class and no extra allowed on account of a variance from plain composition. In estimating press work in this class four pages shall be considered a form; provided, that any number of pages fewer than four shall be considered a form when the copy of any job done in this class is not sufficient to make four pages or shall make one or more full forms and a fractional part of another form.

(2) When applied to the press work of books, pamphlets, or other documents having sixteen or more pages, or to job work, a thousand impressions shall mean a thousand impressions of a form of 16 pages or a form containing all the matter on one side of 1,000 sheets of paper, or 500 impressions of such form on both sides of 500 sheets of paper. When applied to the press work of halftones, run separately from the text, a thousand impressions shall mean 1,000 impressions of a form of sixteen pages or less on one side of 1,000 sheets of paper. No single job of press work shall be charged at less than 250 impressions. When a job exceeds 1,000 impressions additional fractional parts of 1,000 impressions shall be charged for at a pro rata figured on the basis per thousand taken by such job.

(3) In printing in class 7, all work set in pica (12 point) type, or all type larger than pica (12 point), wherever used, shall be measured as pica (12 point); provided, that a display heading or sub heading in a job shall be measured as of the kind of type which predominates in the job. When any job is set in type smaller than pica (12 point), or when two or more sizes of type are required to be used in the body of the same job, such job shall be estimated by measuring each kind of type so used. All jobs in this class shall be measured by the surface actually printed over and not by the size of the sheet used. If matter is to appear in the form of pages only the actual composition shall be measured or allowed. Composition in this class shall not be allowed for blank pages, but a necessary fractional page shall be measured as a full page. Where blank space is required to be kept [left] between lines in a job such space shall be measured as though set in the size of type which predominates in the job. No form in this class shall be measured at less than one thousand ems. Press work in this class shall be estimated as follows:

A form shall consist of whatever appears on the surface of the paper as furnished for the job. If the job is printed on both sides of the sheet, two forms may be allowed. If any job is to be printed in the form of pages, a form shall consist of the number of pages that the paper furnished for the job will admit of printing.

(4) No charge for composition shall be allowed for second editions nor for any other reprint from linotype, electrotype, stereotype or other plates or forms owned by the State.

(6) Jobs properly requiring changes on the press shall not be charged for as separate jobs, but charge may be allowed for actual time
