Abstract
Discusses the design of a simple system for handling the large components of a six-part Kwakiutl House-front Complex owned by the Canadian Museum of Civilisation, Ottawa. The handling device combines portability with the capability of rotating a large wooden object along its axis, enabling access to all sides for documentation and treatment. Design considerations and operation are described. -- AATA
