I used continuous form card stock for an application in the mid 1970s.
It was to remind supervisors when an employee's performance evaluation
was due, and to continue to remind them until Personnel returned the
card to us indicating that the evaluation had been completed.

The first card stock we used had problems with curling, but the second
stock we tried worked pretty well.  Something to do with "long grain"
versus "short grain", as I recall.  You'd think we were buying rice.
