Tranchefiles are used to establish imposition patterns in Edward Heawood, "The Position on the Sheet of Early Watermarks," Library, 4th ser., 9 (1928-29), 45; David F. Foxon, "Some Notes on Agenda Format," Library, 5th ser., 8 (1953), 166; and Gilbert and Ransom, "The Imposition of Eighteenmos in Sixes, with Special Reference to Tranchefiles," Bulletin of the Bibliographical Society of Australia and New Zealand, No. 17 (Nov. 1980), 269-275. Gilbert and Ransom also make the interesting point that in French tranchefil is a bookbinder's term meaning "headband" and that historically the term for the added wire in the paper mould seems to have been transfil. For Stevenson's use of tranchefiles, see his Missale speciale, especially pp. 40, 128, 277, and 301, and "Tudor Roses," 28.

It is unclear whether the mark reads 'CM' or 'GM'. Heawood is also uncertain and identifies some examples as 'CM', others as 'GM' (Watermarks Mainly of the 17th and 18th Centuries [1950]; cf. the examples cited in the index on pp. 51-52).
