Frisket handle, a term used in printing. It is a piece of thin iron an inch and a half wide by an inch long, rounded at one end, which is attached to the frame of the frisket to give the workman a convenient grip by which to raise and lower the frisket during the printing of each sheet of paper. Some people call it the ear . See the Plates on Letterpress Printing . [1]
1. I cannot find an illustration of this handle in the plates on printing. See Plate 18 of the series on Letterpress Printing for an illustration of the frisket . See also the article Frisket .
