(1.) No packet of patterns must exceed 24 ounces.
(2.) The patterns must not be of in... trinsic value.
This rule excludes all articles of a saleable nature, and, indeed, whatever may have a value of its own apart from its mere use as a pattern; and the quantity of any material sent ostensibly as a pattern must not be so great that it can be fairly considered as having, on this ground, an intrinsic value.
(3.) There must be no writing or printing other than the address of the person for whom the packet is intended, the address of the sender, a trade mark and numbers, and the prices of the articles.
(4.) The patterns must be sent in covers open at the ends, so as to be easy of examination.
(5.) In all other respects the regulations of the Book Post will apply to the Pattern Post.
(6.) Any packets not in accordance with the above regulations will be treated as letters.
