The surface may advantageously be covered by a ribbon or other cleaning cloth which may be wetted with a cleaning liquid. The grip member is provided with a bearing pressure weight member which acts through the grip member on the insert to apply a predetermined cleaning pressure to the record. The grip member advantageously comprises a member having a trough facing outwardly from each side into which an insert is positioned and a weight member is disposed therebetween the trough members.
