Abstract: An industrial washing machine has a pair of rows of vertically spaced rotatable rollers for causing fabric to be washed to follow a horizontally sinuous path. Wash water is supplied from above the rollers down onto the fabric. Perforated trays are disposed under certain rollers so that a roller and the perforated tray immediately therebeneath is separated during a washing operation by a run of fabric. The perforated trays are compartmentalized at at least one end with each compartment being bottom perforated and with the bottom perforation of each compartment being staggared inwardly of the tray end relative to the bottom perforation of the corresponding compartment of the tray immediately thereabove so that water passing through each compartment is, where there is no intervening fabric, directed inwardly from the tray ends during its fall until it contacts fabric.

Abstract: A vertical rotary screen printing machine has a rotary printing cylinder in which is housed a combination dye dispensing bar and squeegee arrangement with which is associated a weir which controls dye flow.The arrangement is adjustable, preferably bodily, (a) radially to effect variation in contact pressure between the squeegee and printing cylinder; and (b) rotatably to effect variation in the position of the line of contact of the squeegee relative to the printing cylinder.
