a press in the dry-cleaning plant, with a covered
head.
Pressing dungaree shirts is done in the same
manner as shown in shirt pressing; however, care
should be taken when pressing the sleeve with
the petty officer crow. This petty officer crow may
cause a stain on the press head or press cover. To
avoid this problem, you should place a piece of
cardboard between the crow and the press head
or cover. This prevents the petty officer crow from
imprinting on the press head or press cover.
Precondition dungarees in the dryer before
pressing as discussed in the drying section. This
is done because they hold a lot of water and on
newer dungarees the blue color may fade onto the
press cover, thus ruining the cover. Dungaree
trousers are pressed inside out and the legs are
pressed flat with creases going inward on the
seams instead of in the middle of the leg.
Care should be taken when pressing
tablecloths or napkins. When a flatwork ironer is
not available, these items will have to be pressed
on a conventional press. The tablecloths and
napkins should be preconditioned in the dryer
before pressing (do not overdry). If the tablecloths
and napkins are not preconditioned before
pressing, they may scorch. On the other hand, if
they are pressed too dry, they will not be finished
properly. Tablecloths should be stored with a wet
cloth over them until you are ready to press them
or they will dry out.
ASSEMBLY AND ISSUE
In this section we are concerned with
assembly and handling of articles both in
individual bundles and in bulk lots. Bulk lots that
are tumbled can be loaded directly into the
laundry bags in which they were brought to the
laundry. Such is not the case, however, with
items in an individual’s bundle. This is a matter
of (1) careful handling, (2) thorough inspections,
and (3) accurate counting.
ASSEMBLY OF INDIVIDUAL LOTS
Before the individual lots are received in the
assembly area, the individual’s ticket (NAVSUP
Form 233) should be placed in the assembly bins
in alphabetical order. Then you will place finished
articles as marked in the proper bin. Figure 5-42
