!!!Gautschen

Couching: in papermaking, the draining and pressing of fibres. It also 
denotes the custom (sometimes still practised) of ducking the aspiring 
journeyman in a water barrel or well, after which he is given the 
certificate of apprenticeship ("Gautschbrief"), which marks the end of 
his training period.
