VARNISHING AND TRIMMING RECORDS 



63 



Fig. 57. Varnishing pan (12 inches long, 7 inches wide), used for varnishing 

 records from long paper kymographs. The record is cut apart on the drum, one 

 person holding each end. The smoked surface is turned upward. One person steps on 

 a stool (or short stepladder) and lifts one end of the record high in the air. The 

 assistant dips the other end of the record into the varnish and lifts up his end of the 

 record as the other end of the tracing is lowered. The tracing is suspended from each 

 end like a hammock on the rack (shown in Fig. 56) to dry.
