I have just uploaded a film made by Anglia TV in 1976 which explains just how the paper was made and it has a good section showing an intricate watermark being made and fitted. To view click here.

Hi Deborah.
Glad this was of interest but I don't think you should regard the terms I have used as the "correct name". I have just assumed it was made for minutes, but could be wrong. So perhaps we should see if anyone else is sure of the terminology.
Best wishes Simon

Dear Simon,
I am particularly interested in the M 211 Smith & Allnutt 1899 36 Ruled mould. Last year working on a Hans Andersen scrap book I came across several pieces of watermark-ruled paper that had been used to back large areas of damage. I assumed it was writing paper but did not know what to call it, so am very glad to have the correct name to use in my final report.
All the best
Deborah Evetts
