[DCRB-L] FW: Single sheet publication - consultation

[Richard Noble]

While I can't say that I "know" what "composite" was intended to mean, I 
can only infer (as I believe most people would) that it refers to two or 
more pieces of paper or other material (e.g. silk) pasted or otherwise 
joined together to form a single larger sheet or printing surface. I'd be 
surprised if it wasn't supposed to mean that.
