I don't remember how the big ring was held down when I was a kid, but set came with some silly tacky gum crap. "spiro putty. pfft. sucks.

IIRC, there was a flat, red plastic thing which sat underneath the paper and had 2 projections which poked through the paper into the big ring and held it in place.

Edit: after reading Joe's post I guess there was more than 1 way they did this.
