Abstract: Thermal dye-transfer type recording sheet, having a coating layer which is placed on a base sheet, is contacted with a coloring material layer being solid or semisolid state at room temperature and on which a coloring material is transferred selectively by heating, wherein said coating layer comprises at least mixture of saturated polyester and polyvinyl pyrrolidone in a particular ratio. The sheet provides a very clear record with superior light fastness.

Abstract: The invention provides a method of working steel machine parts, and it relates to a composite technique consisting of machining and heat-treatment, which makes use of the fact that at temperatures in the vicinity of or above the Ms point during quench cooling, the structure of steel assumes a state of supercooled austenite or a portion thereof assumes a state of martensite transformation or beinite transformation, suitable for machining, and in such state desired machining is applied to steel machine parts, which are then cooled to room temperature for hardening. Other merits and details will be made clear.
