Some manufacturersuse springs, while others use weights for of smaller capacity are quite simple in con-struction, while those of greater capacity are morecomplex. The better grades of machines are constructed insuch a manner that the heated roll may be made totravel at several rates of speed, thus producing differ-ent grades of finish. Domestic finish, medium glossand high gloss may usually be produced on the moderncollar ironer by simply shifting gears. The faster thehot roll revolves—the padded roll revolves at the samerate of speed at all times—the greater will be thegloss produced. Machines of the largest capacity areso constructed that they will iron the goods, when prop-erly dampened, in one passage through the usually iron the collar or cuff once on the wrong-side and twice on the right side by a single passagethrough. This class of machines has generally three heated — 175 —. Fig. 43. MONARCH COLLAR AND CtTFF IRONER. (Adams Laundry Machinery Co.) — 176 — rolls and two padded rolls. In the first set of rollsone hot roll runs in contact with one j^added roll, thepadded roll being on top, or above, the heated roll. Thegoods are then carried from tliese to the other second set of rolls consists of one padded roll andtwo heated rolls running in contact with it, the heatedrolls being above the padded roll. Thus it will beseen that as the goods pass through the machine theyreceive the ironing action once on one side and twiceon the other. This type of machine is represented in the AdamsLaundry Machinery Sharps Monarch, Fig. 48,the Troy Laundry Machinery ISTo, 5, Fig. 49,and the American Laundry ^Machinery Mammothis shown in Fig. 50. These machines differ only inconstruction. It is claimed by the manufacturers of these ma-chines that they wil
