The judge who presided at a trial may, after he ceases to be such judge by reason of his resignation or the expiration of his term of office, settle the record of such trial. If, before the settled record is completed, such judge is removed from office, or for any reason cannot or will not settle such record, it shall be settled in such manner as the presiding judge of the Supreme Court may direct.
