It is necessary to have a supplyof cold water and steam in the starchroom, hence thepiping for these must be put in place. The machinery necessary for the modernly equippedstarchroom are, shirt starching machines, collar starch-ing machines, power roll wringers and band starchingmachines. A practical machine for starching the general runof new work is the Benjamin machine.
