A spoken talk does not pause for you to catch up. The page here is split three ways before a word is spoken: a narrow column down the left for a cue, a wide field beside it for the note itself, and a strip across the foot left empty until the talk is over.
Rules sit 9.17 mm apart, eighteen sets to a page, wide enough to write a word in the cue column without it running into the note beside it. The pitch is set for that column, not for density. A tighter rule would fit more lines and leave no room to write a cue next to anything.
The summary strip stays blank unless somebody goes back and fills it in after the talk is finished. Most people who take the notes never quite get round to it.

Questions
How is the page laid out?
Three parts: a cue column on the left, a wide note field beside it, and a summary strip across the bottom.
How wide is the rule?
9.17 mm, eighteen sets to the page, wide enough to write a cue beside its note rather than under it.
When is the summary strip meant to be filled in?
After the talk, not during it. Nothing forces this; it is left blank if it is skipped.
Is it dated?
No. Start it whenever the next talk is.
How big is it?
A5, 148 x 210 mm, 120 pages, 6.86 mm across the spine.
