This last-described machine is exemplified in theHagen Shirt Starcher, Fig. 77, and is fast becominga general favorite among a great many is preferred on account of its cleanliness, easeof operation, because it produces no damage or wearon the goods, and a saving of starch. When theshirt leaves this machine it is starched and wiped readyfor the dryroom. As the roll passes over the surface ofthe bosom the wrinkles nearly all disappear, makingit a very rapid machine when one considers the fact thatall other machines require wiping and wrinkles re-moved after the shirt has been starched. 249 —. Fig. 77. HAGEN BOSOM STARCSBB. (A. T. Hagen Co.) — 250 — Makers of this class of machinery also make a band-starcher to starch the wristbands independently of thebosoms, and although they can be starched at the sametime as the shirt, it is not convenient to do so. Theband-starcher has the same principle of rubber cells,and employs a rubber roller running in contact withband-starcher has the same principle of rubber cell walls are compressed, and starch forced in, inthe same as in starching the bosoms. In all rubbing starching machines now in use, theshirt bosom is doubled, placed between the rubbers,and receives a rubbing action while the bosom is im-mersed in the starch. Some of these machines haveroll attachments which hold the shirts, and when theshirt is removed the rolls squeeze out the surplus of them, however, have no rubber rolls, and thesurplus starch has t
