Note in Golding serial number list

In the list of Golding serial numbers, there’s an entry under Official #2 saying “Assembled machine dipped.” What does that mean?

If a machine was to be shipped overseas, or stored, this may have been dipped in a rust preventative. At Kluge, we would spray it on.

That makes sense. ‘course any preservative on my press is long gone :).
