#727 ... the shirt off my back

This fascinating piece of machinery lives at the Mall Drycleaners in Johnston St by Midland Park. Costa, Costa, Staphos and the amazing staff .. who always have a smile and a good word ... run a business that keeps us looking sharp ... I get my business shirts laundered here ... as with a household of six adults, my shirts are generally at the end of the job queue. What is interesting is the machine that is used to dry the shirts and the way that it does it ... a bit like humans really ... by blowing a lot of hot air !!!!
