A Handling Device for Large Wooden Objects
Handling of large wooden objects during examination, documentation and treatment presents considerable problems. The potential for damage to delicate surfaces is increased by the number of separate handling operations prior to display, and by the weight of the objects themselves. Also, long, fragile objects require evenly spaced supports along their entire length. The device described here combines portability with the facility for rotating the object along its axis to gain access to all sides for documentation and treatment. As the devices are used in dynamically-linked pairs, an even loading over the entire length of the object is assured.
