steno pad

Secretary's spiral notebook

A steno pad is a narrow, spiral-bound notebook with a vertical line down the center of each page, designed for stenography or shorthand note-taking.

The divided page helps separate shorthand symbols or keeps questions on one side and answers on the other.

Now commonly used for general note-taking: She grabbed her steno pad before the meeting.
