Hi Rob,
I think you will find it to be a Bendix Economat - the drying of the clothes was by a squeezing method, the whole tub collasped...bizzare !! lol Attached is a pic from another memeber restoring one. Cheers Keith

That looks like a Busby Berkeley Pudenda Extravaganza. | ||

Mechanical folding and bundling.
Yes, there are such machines and thank goodness. Otherwise things must be fed manually into the ironers, caught when they emerge then folded, stacked and bundled.
www.capecentralhigh.com/cape-phot... vs. this: No, soiled linens are *NOT* supposed to come into contact or even near soiled. In the best of laundries soiled linen moves one way while clean air goes the opposite. This even where laundries use barrier washing machines (washers built into walls): Some in Europe have been pushing to make barrier washers the standard for healthcare laundries. Laundries OTOH want the option to be flexible. Barrier washers are expensive to install and once in aren't going anywhere anytime soon nor easily. If the laundry does not own the space and or whatever it can be an expensive or even impossible undertaking. I mean if the lease on space states anything "built into" the walls and or floors becomes the LL's property, there goes installing barrier washing machines. As for tunnel washing systems a laundry really has to have the volume to keep the things working 24/7 or at least a good amount of the time. Otherwise all that expensive equipment is just sitting there costing money and not generating income. | ||
