You meant to "drop" rather than "take" to leave all but the first
record in the file. But it's an elegant style to divert the record to
process towards the end of the pipeline (so you don't forget to keep
the remainder). And real plumbing would be to handle them all, not
just one of them (but that's beyond the question).
