ORDERED that the court stenographer, if any, shall promptly make, certify and file two typewritten transcripts of the minutes of all proceedings, if any, with the clerk of the trial court, who is directed to furnish without charge one copy to the attorney who is now assigned as counsel to prosecute the appeal and to file the second copy of the transcript, if any, with the record, which shall then be filed with this court; and it is further,
