against: abrasion, fracture, disintogrations
Other hazards include: extreme heat, water
and dampness, sudden changes of temperature and hunidity, dirt.
General Handling Rules
to
a. Sculpture:
a
(1) Moving lerge sculpture is a technical problem. Do
not attompt it with too little help or wi thout com-
petent direction. Haste in handling may result in
injury to the handlers or damage to the objects.
(2) Do not carry heavy sculpture by hand, even if you
are able to lift it. It should always be moved on
padded trucks, supported and, if necessary, tied
to prevent harmful movement while the truck is in
motion.
(3) Examination of the object before handling is partio-
ularly recommended for sculpturel material. Know-
1 ng the points of wepkness in advance is important
to the safe movement of the piece. When there is
any doubt about whether or not it is strong enough
to wi thstand the strain of transit, get the advice
of the AMA officer in charge.
b.
Woodwork and Furniture:
(1) Always move woodwork or furniture on trucks or
trolleys (dollies). Never slide or push such ob-
jects along the floor, for logs and bases are us-
ually in a weakened condition owing to age or
previous demege.
