They also used a drum, and the article described how
they coated the drum
with the mixture of oxide and -something- with a normal painter brush, by
hand...
That -something- is mentioned in the article, I forgot what it was.
Yes, that -something-. That is what is the mystery.
The binder for a marine grade paint would probably work fine.
Distance between heads and drum was measured using
cigarette paper as a
shim....
Or those squishy plastic thread gauges that machinists and engine
rebuilders use.
