then
damp-dried,
the
laundry
proceeds
on
to
drying
tumblers
which
make
the
old
clothes
line
look
like
something
out
of
the
medieval
nges.
An
Item
of
special
interest
in
the
drying
department
is
one
on
which
socks
are
fastened
while
compressed
air
balloons
through
them.
This
removes
all
moistiiess
while
retaining
the
sock
s
fluf
finess.
Downstairs
the
pressing
operations
take
over
for
the
next
step.
Here,
as
elsewhere,
each
article
is
handled
according
to
its
needs.
Bed
linen
and
similar
articles
are
finished
on
a
flat-work
ironer,
while
garments
go
through
more
complicated
steps.
In
the
shirt
section
alone
there
are
two
girls
who
work
with
the
smoothness
and
ease
of
a
well-trained
juggling
tepm
as
they
pass
the
garment
through
a
series
of
automatic
devices.
Within
a
matter
of
moments,
a
start
is
-transformed
from
wrinkles
to
neat
folds
protected
by
cardboard
supporter.

.
At
last
the
iaundry
reaches
the
checking
room
where
every
customer
has
a
cubby
hole
bearing
his
identification
number.
Here
the
violet
light
is
again
in
evidence
as
the
sorting
is
carried
out.

Perhaps
me
most
striking
ex-
'
ample
of
this
is
the
latest
in-
;
stallation
which
eliminates
the
messy
problem
of

yet
ensures
,
i
that
every
article

properly

'

This
couipment
consists
of
a
special
violet
light
which
'.
gives
a
luminoib
glow
to
an
in-
'
visible
ink
used
in
the
marking.
Removed
from
this
light
the
mark
disappears
and
the
article
j
is
returned
to
its
owners
un-1
i
blemished.
As
soon
as
it
is
marked
and
recorded,
the
laundry
goes
,
through
a
variety
of
steps
which
J
'
would
make
any
housewife
weep
with
envy.
There
are

automatic
washing-machines
containing
revolving
drums
which
change

rotation
at
set
intervals
to
avoid
snarls
and
tangles.
Another
machine
used
exclusively
for
woolens
operates
at
a
slower
pace
to
prevent
pounding.
Each
i
of
these

that

never
