Starts machine that turns die against mill to produce indentations on mill. Spreads acid-resistant wax over surface of mill and gradually increases pressure on head of clamp as die turns against mill, working wax away from area of mill corresponding to unengraved area of die. Removes mill from clamp and spins mill in acid bath to etch waxfree area of mill, leaving waxed area of mill in relief. Offsets head of clamp and works die against mill to round off end of design and make surface of mill oval to facilitate transfer of design from mill to surface of copper printing roller. Examines raised design on mill through magnifying lens to verify sharpness of lines. Inserts mill in heat-treating pot, fills pot with carbon-activated bonemeal, and places pot in electric furnace.
