Specimens were mounted in balsam on microscope slides. Preliminary drawings were obtained using a microprojector, an inverted compound microscope that projects an image to a table for tracing and enlarges it according to the oculars and objectives used as well as the distance from the projector to the table. The tracings were done on 2-ply Strathmore 500 Bristol board.
First, I studied the specimens very carefully. Then, with constant reference to the specimen through the microscope, I refined the drawings with a soft pencil-shaped eraser and 3-H graphite pencil lead in a lead holder. Analysis and comparison of the gynandromorph with the normal specimens permitted determinations and guesses as to what parts in the abnormal specimen were homologous with those in the normal specimens. A written analysis was prepared. These detailed drawings and the analysis were confirmed by the supervising scientist, J. F. Gates Clarke (deceased). The drawings then were inked directly on the Bristol board with "dip" pens: Gillotte 659 and Hunt 104 nibs. Corrections were made with an electric eraser and white plastic eraser plug.
