Dept of Silly Auto Industry Regulations
EDWARD LAPHAM COMMENTARY: A $750,000 California headache
Even Gov. Schwarzenegger couldn't fix this. Since Jan. 1, California has required new language in the standard retail installment contract used by [motor vehicle] dealerships, stipulating that the contract be on a single page. The result is a document 8 ½ inches wide by 25 ¾ inches long. That caused a headache for Reynolds and Reynolds Co. of Dayton, Ohio. Although Reynolds is a leading supplier of dealership management software, its original business was supplying paper forms to dealerships. Its Law Printing Co. subsidiary still produces the standard retail installment contract used by dealers across the country -- including all 1,700 new-vehicle dealers in California. Reynolds has a printing press that can handle the new super-sized sales contract but it had to invest $750,000 in a custom collator that assembles the white, canary, pink and goldenrod copies of the contract into a single bound form. The new collator can accommodate up to a 30-inch form. Why so long? Chances are Reynolds will need it. ... source: www.automotivenews.com

Well, geez. Why not? Also the font has to be of of 7-tone-gradations, every third word in original Sanskrit, and capitalize in Helvantic bold every word in the sentence in prime number sequence.
Old english of the Chauser era will expidite processing from 83 1/2 weeks to 65.
