The counter has to be reset by moving the knob on the left side of the counter. The finger is positioned on the specimen at the base’s front end and handle is rotated in the clockwise direction at the rate of approximately 1 revolution per second. The handle is then rotated equal to the number of strokes specified by the test method.</span></p><p><br></p><p><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">1.2 When the desired number of strokes is reached, the crocking cloth is removed from the finger and its degree of staining has to be evaluated by SDC grey scale.</span></p><p><img src="https://img80002883.weyesimg.com/uploads/www.gesterinstruments.com//images/16577792287079.jpg"></p><p><br></p><p><span style="color: rgb(250, 192, 143);">2.
