_Tub_, the stand which supports the lying press. Originally an actual tub to catch the shavings. _Uncut_, a book is said to be uncut when the edges of the paper have not been cut with the plough or guillotine. _Unopened_, the book is said to be unopened if the bolts of the sheets have not been cut. _Waterproof sheets_, sheets of celluloid, such as are used by photographers. _Whole binding_, when the leather covers the back and sides of a volume. _Wire staples_ are used by certain machines in the place of thread for securing the sections. _Groove_, that part of the sections which is turned over in backing to receive the board.
