I have the '97 reprinted pages of Scott International Part I, not called Parts 1A1, 1A2, 1B1 and 1B2. The phrase "Like Cut" shows up in many spaces. I'm sure it means "this stamp is like another" but I don't understand which other stamp. Can anyone help me out? I'm sure it's right there in front of my nose, but.... Thanks.
It's a printer's term that comes from typography. There, images were on separate blocks, either all-metal or more often, metal mounted on wood to be level with type.
Perhaps since images were usually ganged up for etching or casting and the result sliced into individual parts for mounting on wood blocks (see the nails above), that's where the word comes from. Just a guess.
