W To K 15 — 100 — 30 After forming the first slight coating, indicated by a weak brown colour, dusting must be repeated 3 to 4 times after a few minutes, from a shorter distance, with short interruptions. Only when the shellac coating is hardened - about 20 minutes - the trace must be deformed as described in (1) above. after the shellac coating has been coated with a thin layer of talc, which is intended to allow a better detachment of the gypsum shape, bearing in mind that the talc powder does not overlay the special characteristics (impressions) in a thicker layer. (c) For the pouring of these traces, thin liquid gypsum pulp must be used, which must be carefully boiled into the traces by spoon. (d) The cleaning of the plaster print can only take place after complete hardening, namely with the fingers using hot water or spirit, and must in any case be left over by the competent KP(L)St. — KTU. (e) As long as the criminal police outposts do not have sufficiently trained officials in the form of these footprints in order to secure these marks, particularly if they can be particularly significant for the purpose of proof, the criminal technicians of the relevant CP(L)St. shall be employed. In general, the securing of the footprints will be sufficient only by photographic means. In addition or only, footprints can be drawn or pasted. The films intended for fingerprinting are particularly suitable for removing visible footprints. In case of securing footprints with foils, if one film is not sufficient, several films must be placed on the track in such a way that the edges of the foils cover about 1 mm. 3. Aisle picture. a) Several successive footmarks may reveal peculiarities of the gang (footset) or give other important clues (e.g. carrying loads, etc.). The gait image can therefore make a significant contribution to the transfer and investigation of the perpetrators. b) The ghait tracks (speed picture — foot-in and footprints →) are (1) photographically, besides (2) to be protected in an embarrassingly precise scale sketch. 4. Vehicle tracks. a) Vehicle tracks, in particular those derived from bicycles, motorcycles and cars, which determine the type of tyres.
