PROTECTION AGAINST RUST DAMAGE

 and bold moisture, and taus accelerate rust damage to bigaly polished thread
haadling and other exposed parts. The extent of rust damaze would depend


upon the length of time the machine remaiaed, in idle storage where there is no
 veatilation. Sudden drops in temperature will cause moisture to form on parte
 which, if not protected by a flo of oil, would rust and damage while in storage

Proper storage care suggests thorough brush-cleaming to remove all

 lint and Buff, follnwed by swabbing of all the exposed parts in Figs. 10 and 11
