An example of such a system is the Harris-Cottrell system which replaces the ductor of conventional dampening units with a rotary brush. This brush contacts the pan roller but not the vibrator; it flips water over an air gap from the ends of the bristles. 1, record 1, English, - continuous%20brush%20water%2Dfeed%20system

Un exemple est le mouillage à brosse Harris-Cottrell qui comporte une brosse rotative en contact avec le rouleau de bassine. Les poils de la brosse pulvérisent de petites particules d'eau sur la table de mouillage baladée et la solution de mouillage est alors déposée sur la plaque par le rouleau mouilleur. 1, record 1, French, - syst%C3%A8me%20de%20mouillage%20en%20continu%20%C3%A0%20brosse
