1. Officer in charge.—A quartermaster is in charge of each Government-owned laundry and all operations thereof, except plants operated under the supervision of the Medical Department in conjunction with hospitals. A superintendent is placed in direct charge of all departments, including the clerical department, under authority of the officer in charge.
2. Buildings and equipment.—Laundry buildings, mobile laundry units, and portable laundry units are constructed and machinery and equipment installed therein in accordance with standard plans and specifications furnished by The Quartermaster General, and construction and installations of this nature are entered into only after receiving approval from The Quartermaster General.

3. Cost of operations.—The cost of laundry operations is paid from authorized appropriations.
4. Disposition of funds derived from operations.—All funds derived from laundry operations are transferred to the sales officer on W. D., Q. M. C. Form No. 434 (Shipping Ticket (Posts, Camps, and Stations)). Proceeds of cash sales are transferred at the end of each month or oftener as directed by the commanding officer. Charge sales are transferred at the end of the accounting period as a lump sum, supported by a single copy or list of the charges against the individual accounts. The sales officer deposits these funds with the local disbursing officer to the credit of miscellaneous receipts.
5. Claims for loss or damage.—a. Methods of settlement.— Claims must be made within 48 hours after delivery of the laundry and must be accompanied by the laundry list. Claims for property lost, destroyed, or damaged in the process of laundrying are settled upon proper presentation and proof by either of the following methods:
(1) By replacement from overages in the laundry.
(2) By the issue of garments in kind, after the action of a surveying officer.
b. Action taken on a claim.— (1) By lavmdry officer.— (a) Except as required by (6) below, claims are first acted upon by the officer in charge of the laundry in an effort to settle the claims by replacement from overages in the laundry.
(5) In the case of a claim submitted by an individual connected with the administration or operation of the laundry, the commanding officer designates a disinterested officer to take the action outlined in (a) above.
(2) By commanding officer.—In case of loss or destruction of or damage to articles issued to enlisted men, when settlement cannot be effected by replacement from overages in the laundry, the matter should be handled under a report of surveys and the individual reimbursed by the issue of garments in kind, if the facts developed by the survey warrant such action.
c. Private property.—The methods of settlement (« above) apply only to such articles as are issued to enlisted men. There is no provision of law for the payment of the claim of any patron for private property lost, destroyed, or damaged in the process of laundering. Officers and others responsible for the operation of laundries should make every effort to avoid loss or damage to property of patrons and give careful consideration to the adjustment of complaints.
6. Dry-cleaning plants.—When dry-cleaning plants are installed, they are operated in conjunction with laundries. Wherever appli

I certify that I have carefully supervised the salvage and laundry activities under my control, and to the best of my knowledge and belief the report herein is correct.
8. Blank forms.—Quartermaster Corps forms for use by laundries are supplied by The Quartermaster General. Such additional forms as will facilitate the transaction of laundry business are improvised locally. Copies of local forms, after they have been in use for a sufficient length of time to prove their usefulness, may be forwarded to The Quartermaster General with recommendations as to their use by all laundries.
9. Accounting period.—Wherever the monthly accounting period in use at a post or station is other than the regular calendar month, all references to monthly transactions are interpreted to cover such accounting period.
10. Local laundry regulations.—Additional local regulations which are necessary to insure the orderly and efficient handling of laundry for Government agencies, enlisted men, and other authorized patrons are published from time to time by the local commanding officer. Copies of local regulations are forwarded to The Quartermaster General for his information.
11. Preparation of W. D., Q. M. C. Form No. 366.—a. For purposes of illustrating the use of W. D., Q. M. C. Form No. 366, the following hypothetical situation covering the laundry activities at Fort School, Pa., is presented:

12. General.—Enlisted men’s laundry service is offered on a monthly flat rate basis only. Enlisted men’s bundles are laundered weekly unless owing to local conditions the commanding officer prescribes greater intervals. Patronage of Quartermaster Corps laundries by enlisted men is voluntary. Each month they may decide whether they will patronize the laundry or not, but having elected to do so, they will be charged the monthly flat rate regardless of the number of bundles sent unless exempted from the flat rate charge for reasons given in paragraph 14.
13. Limitations.—It is intended that enlisted men’s laundry service cover adequately the laundry requirements of enlisted men, considering local conditions of climate and service. Limitations were designed only to prevent abuses. As far as practicable, enlisted laundry patrons submit a bundle each week, and clothing of more than one enlisted man must not be combined in a single bundle. There is no restriction as to the kind or number of pieces which may be sent, except that the clothing and any other articles authorized to be included in the bundle must belong to the enlisted man sending it to the laundry. This does not include the laundry of the family of the enlisted man, which must be charged for on the piece-rate basis. The laundry officer

15. Rates.—a. Monthly -flat rate.—The enlisted men’s monthly flat rate is fixed by The Quartermaster General. There is no restriction as to the kind or number of pieces which may be sent under the monthly flat rate, except that the clothing and any other articles authorized to be included in the bundle must belong to the enlisted man sending it to the laundry.
b. Single-bundle rate.—The enlisted men’s single-bundle rate is fixed by The Quartermaster General. Enlisted men who have elected to patronize the laundry under the monthly flat rate, but who have been exempted from that rate by reason of one of the conditions given in paragraph 14, are charged the single-bundle rate.
c. Single-bundle rate with limitation to 30 pieces.—(1) The enlisted men’s single-bundle rate with limitation to 30 pieces is the regular single-bundle rate (b above) plus a piece-rate charge for pieces in excess of 30 in the weekly bundle.
(2) Enlisted men who were present at the beginning of the month but who failed to elect to patronize the laundry under the monthly flat rate, or enlisted men who joined the organization during the month, are charged the single-bundle rate with limitation to 30 pieces for each weekly bundle sent during the month. This means that those men may have to pay more than the monthly flat rate if the number of articles in the bundles sent exceed 30 pieces. Articles for which the common unit is “pair,” such as socks, gloves, etc., are considered as one piece. Bundles in excess of 30 pieces are charged for at the applicable authorized piece rates listed on W. D., Q. M. C. Form No. 373 (Quartermaster Laundry—Individual List). (See app. I.)

QUARTERMASTER CORPS
hourly capacity of a section is 250 pounds, and of the company, 2.000 pounds. The operating capacity in pounds per hour is of importance when it is necessary to estimate the number of companies, platoons, or sections required for handling laundry for Medical Corps or salvage installations.
d. Operating unit {section).—The section is the unit basis of operation in the mobile laundry company. Each section has two mobile laundry units composed of two semitrailers with laundry equipment installed thereon, two 4- to 5-ton truck tractors and the necessary auxiliary equipment including tentage and the specialized operating supplies for the laundry sections. Personnel has been set up to provide for two-shift operation which may be utilized on an 8- or 12-hour basis, as the operating situation warrants.
33. Equipment and supplies.—a. Equipment.—(1) General.— {a) The equipment of a mobile laundry section of two units is installed in two semitrailers, two-wheel, van-type, 22 feet by 8 feet by 6 feet 6 inches high. The prime movers are 4- to 5-ton, 4x4 tractor trucks.
1. The following equipment is installed in each laundry trailer:
1 washer, 30- by 30-inch
1 extractor, 20-inch
2 dry tumblers, 36- by 30-inch
1 boiler, oil fired, 15 hp
1 generator, gasoline driven, 12 kva
1 hot water heater and tank, 180-ffallon
2 water supply pumps
2 fuel tanks
2. The following auxiliary equipment is included with each trailer but not installed :
1 storage tent, complete with poles, flys, pins
4 tables, 3- by 8-foot
200 feet 4-inch hose
200 feet 1%-inch hose
2 jacks, hydraulic, 5-ton
1 strainer
4 baskets, canvas, 8-bushel
1 set hand tools
1 set spare parts
(7)) There is also assigned to the company five 2%-ton trucks, cargo with trailers, one %-ton truck and one %-ton weapon carrier.
(2) Washer (fig. 1).— {a) Description.—The washer is a standard 30-inch by 30-inch commercial laundry-type washer, direct connected motor drive with the necessary water inlet pipes, automatic valves,
16
TM 10-350
LAUNDRIES, LAUNDRY BATTALIONS AND COMPANIES 33
drain pipes, etc. This machine performs the actual washing operation. It consists of a perforated metal cylinder, revolving about its axis inside a metal cylinder partially filled with water and soap. The outside cylinder is called the shell and the perforated cylinder is called the cylinder. The cylinder contains metal ribs whose width and height depends upon the size of the machine and the speed of the cylinder.

friction from other clothing as well as from the cylinder. Also the dropping action has a tendency to force the water and soap in and out of the clothing, much the same as squeezing a sponge under
18
TM 10-350
LAUNDRIES, LAUNDRY BATTALIONS AND COMPANIES 33
water. Thus washing takes place, providing that the proper water levels and soap are used in the needed quantities. The cylinder changes direction of rotation every seven or eight revolutions. Its speed is about 30 rpm.
(3) Extractor (fig. 2).—The extractor is a 20-inch diameter basket, motor driven, speed of 750 rpm, and directly connected to a floor drain to permit the carrying off of waste water. This machine is used to remove the majority of the water from the garments after they have been washed. It consists of a perforated metal cylindrical basket, open at the top side, and revolving within a solid metal shell. The wet clothing is placed inside the basket, the motor turned on to rotate the basket which sets up centrifugal force by which the garments are thrown over against the surface of the basket, and the water is thrown out and drained off through the floor drain.
(4) Dry tumblers (fig. 3).—The two tumblers are standard open end type, 36- by 30-inch size, with quadruple coils. They are used to dry garments after they have been washed and extracted, and consist of a revolving cylinder and fans by which air is pulled in over the heating coils and down through the revolving cylinder to provide the necessary heat for drying. Rotation of the cylinder keeps the garments in constant agitation and aids in the drying process.
(5) Boiler (fig. 4).—The boiler is an oil-fired unit having the necessary adjuncts of condensation return system, oil burner, safety appliances, automatic controls, etc. The boiler is rated as a 15 hp capacity, occupies a floor space of approximately 8 feet by 27 inches, and has an over-all height of approximately 3 feet 2 inches. It is built on the fire tube principle operating efficiently, a unique type of construction, allowing the combustion gases to pass through the tubes either three or four times before being discharged into the air, thus utilizing as much heat as possible from these gases. The correct amount of air necessary to support combustion is vital to the efficient operation of this boiler, and also to prevent smoke and the resultant formation of carbon which would soon clog up the tubes. Likewise, correct control of air is necessary to prevent smoke which would reveal the location of the units to enemy aerial observation. The boiler is completely automatic in its operation and is as foolproof as possible.
(6) Generator (fig. 5).—This set consists of a gasoline motor driven alternating current generator, developing a total capacity of 12 kva. The engine is of the four-cylinder type and is directly connected to the generator. The generator furnishes 22'0-volt, 3-phase current, for the operation of the mechanical equipment on the trailer and the lighting system. Each set contains batteries that are recharged while
19

the set is in operation, furnishing the electrical energy necessary for the self-starter.
Figure 3.—Dry tumblers. The two tumblers are illustrated, one with door open showing the revolving cylinder, and the other with door closed. Note heating coils on top of tumbler. Numbered circle below and to the right of nameplate is timing device.
(7) Hot water heater and tank (fig. 6).—The hot water heater and tank consists of a 180-gallon tank containing a steam coil capable of heating 600 gallons of water per hour to 100° F., assuming the water

TM 10-350
LAUNDRIES, LAUNDRY BATTALIONS AND COMPANIES 33
the water, until the thermostat turns the valve off, shutting off the source of steam.
(8) Water supply pumps.— (a) Main water pump (fig. 7).—Two water supply pumps are integral parts of equipment of each unit. The main water pump mounted on the semitrailer is motor driven, direct shaft and flexible coupling or direct-connected, self-priming centrifugal type pump. It has a capacity of 25 gallons per minute
Figure 7. -Main water pump. Note motor in bell-shaped housing is mounted in vertical position. Fart of water heater tank may be seen to the left of pump.
with 15 feet suction lift and 50 feet TDH. The pump is connected to the cold water lines of the washer and cold water inlet of the hot water heater and make-up tank. It keeps water pressure constant throughout the unit, so that water is available for use when needed. Although this pump is not primarily designed to lift water from a stream or lake, it can be utilized for this purpose if the suction lift does not exceed 15 feet.
(&) Portable pump (fig. 8).—-A portable, gasoline engine driven centrifugal water pump is also provided, whose chief use is to be placed at the source of water supply (stream or lake, etc.) to push water from this source through the water hose from whence it will be sucked by the main pump mounted upon the trailer. The portable
23
QUARTERMASTER CORPS
TM 10-350
33-34
pump is operated by a single-cylinder gasoline engine and the total weight of the unit is not over 100 pounds, in order that it may be easily .carried by two men.
(9) Fuel tanks.—Two 40-gallon steel fuel tanks are installed under the trailer floor, in proximity to the equipment they supply—the boiler and generator set. The tanks have spouts located on the outside of the trailer to permit filling. Likewise they are equipped with baffle plates and drain cock.
Figure 8.—Portable pump. Pump is kept stored in space alongside tumbler. To remove it from trailer it is necessary only to unscrew bolt on lock bar which is visible above in space on the base between pump and gasoline engine.
I). Supplies.—Supplies necessary for the operation of mobile laundry units and the personnel assigned thereto are requisitioned as required through the usual channels. A 12 months’ stockage of rear echelon repair parts for each 16 units will be shipped automatically to the base depot for units serving overseas. Additional repair parts will be shipped only on requisition, which will be sent forward through usual channels. No repair parts will be stocked for units serving in the continental United States.
34. Technical instructions for operation.—a. Selection of location.— (1) Near source of water.—The essential requisite in select-
24
TM 10-350
LAUNDRIES, LAUNDRY BATTALIONS AND COMPANIES 34
ing a suitable location for mobile laundry units is an ample supply of water. All other factors must be subordinated to this one demand, for without water the units cannot function. If possible, the water supply should be clean and free from dirt. However, due to the impossibility of locating such a water supply at all times, it may be necessary to locate near a dirty stream. In such case, the units can be operated satisfactorily, although the resultant washing will not be as satisfactory as would be obtained from clean water. Another factor is selecting a location as near the source of water as possible to reduce to a minimum the load demand placed upon the pumps. Under ordinary circumstances, the nearer the units are to the source of water, the less distance will be traveled by the water and a lesser demand placed upon the pumps.
(2) Facing units in wind.—After the definite location has been selected as close to the water supply as possible, it is desirable to consider the direction of the prevailing wind and the climate, whether hot or cold. If the weather is cold the trailers should be faced so that the closed end is facing into the wind or the side which can be kept closed without interfering with operations. Protection against cold wind is a matter of concern to the operating personnel and also affects the mechanical operation of the units, as more steam is required for the tumblers and hot water heater due to the loss of heat by radiation. During warm weather, units should be turned in order to take advantage of prevailing winds for comfort of operating personnel.
(3) Camouflage.—Although mobile laundry units will probably not be found in advanced positions of the theater of operations, nevertheless it is necessary that they be camouflaged in order not to reveal their positions to enemy aerial observation. As these units will be located near streams which usually have a large amount of trees and other shrubbery nearby, the task of camouflage under such circumstances is relatively easy. Full use should be made of all such natural aids to camouflage as well as artificial means such as nets, screens, mats, etc. Camouflage discipline and the maintenance of camouflage is a responsibility of the commanding officer of the laundry company, platoon, or section. Because of the large amount of truck traffic to laundry units and the resultant road marks clearly visible to aerial observation, it will probably be necessary to use more than one road and also make dummy roads to hide the actual positions of the units. Mobile laundry company commanders should familiarize themselves with all possibilities of camouflage and realize that the enemy is as anxious to determine the location of our supply installations as combat units.

b. Setting up and starting units.— (1) Placing trailers together (fig. 9).—A section of two units operate together and the two trailers are placed side by side so that the left platform and right platform of the units when opened and let down are close enough together to form a practically solid platform. Thus the operating personnel are able to walk from one unit to another and only one crew is necessary to operate the mechanical equipment of two trailers. This arrangement also affords added protection to operating personnel during inclement
Figure 9.—Trailers placed side by side in order that one crew may operate both. The units shown are not the latest type but the illustration demonstrates the proper use of two trailers.
weather. Experience has shown that one crew of markers can mark enough bundles to keep two mobile laundry units in uninterrupted operation.
(2) Leveling.—After the semitrailers have been placed side by side and platforms opened, the trailers must be leveled. It is not only necessary that trailers be level, but also that they rest firmly on the ground in order to absorb all vibration from the mechanical operation of the equipment. The front end of the trailer while carried on the trucktractor is necessarily higher than the rear, which means that provision must be made for lowering it to the same level as the rear when
26
rrxAS STATE COLLEGE ruH WUM*

LAUNDRIES, LAUNDRY BATTALIONS AND COMPANIES 34
setting up for operation. As soon as the truck-tractor moves the trailer into location, the landing gear should be cranked down and wheel chocks put into position. Steel plates are set under the landing gear wheels and also under the corner stand-jacks. A space of 3 to 4 inches must be obtained between the bottom of the landing gear wheels and the top of the steel plate as it rests on the ground, while the trailer is resting upon the truck-tractor. It may be necessary to dig into the ground in order to get the necessary space between wheels and plates. As soon as this space is obtained, the truck-tractor should move out slowly, thus gradually lowering the trailer into a level position. As soon as the truck moves out, lower the four corner stand-jacks on the plates and screw them down until they have absorbed a part of the weight carried by the landing gear and the rear springs. Corrections in leveling may be made with these jacks. When it appears the trailer is level, it should then be checked with a carpenter’s level to determine what, if any, corrections should be made. It should be borne in mind that it is not always practical or possible to secure 100 percent leveling. However, every effort should be made to make an absolute level if possible, because prolonged periods of unlevel operations will result in excessive wear and damage to the bearings on the washer, extractor, and tumblers.
(3) Starting generator, pumps, and boiler.—After the trailer has been leveled, the gasoline engine on the generator should be started and allowed to warm up. During this period all sewer and 'water supply hose connections should be made. After all connections have been made secure by use of wrenches and it is determined there are no air-sucking connections, the main switch is thrown and the water pumps or pump (if only the main pump is being used) started in order to fill the system with water. When the water heater is filled, make-up tank half fiTled, and boiler showing of water, the oil burner
on the boiler may be started. It is essential that this amount of water be present before starting the boiler fire in order to provide the margin of safety desired for boiler operation. Failure to have ample water before starting the fire or maintaining an ample supply after steam generation has started causes the majority of boiler explosions. Depending upon the tightness of the water connections and operating efficiency of the pumps, together with the load demand made upon the pumps by the distance of the trailer from the source of water supply and the total suction lift, the water system should require from 15 to 40 minutes time to fill. When the boiler has generated approximately 75 pounds pressure, the main steam valve is opened slowly. Steam valves for the two tumblers should also be opened gradually in order to permit proper operation of the traps in removing condensation. At least
27
TM 10-350
34 QUARTERMASTER CORPS
10 minutes should be required to complete the opening of the tumbler steam valves. It will probably be found necessary to wait for the hot water tank to heat water, unless boiler personnel have arrived early and have a full head of steam and hot water available when it is desired to start the unit.
(4) Pitching tents.—Tents should be pitched by the personnel assigned to the markers, resizing, and folders details, during the time the trailers are being placed in position and made ready for operation. Two tents are necessary for a section, one for the marking and assorting of bundles or classification of articles when bulk work is being handled, and the other for supplies and administrative work as well as for providing workshop space. The tents should be located close to the semitrailers in order to reduce to a minimum the time required to haul dirty and clean garments between the tents and trailers.
(5) Marking individual bundles (fig. 10).—Marking or breaking is done by the markers and is accomplished by the use of numbered marking pins. Bundles are received at the marking tent, assigned to markers, opened, and each article listed, or listing checked on the ticket accompanying the bundle. Each bundle is assigned a pin tray and each article in the bundle is pinned with one of the numbered pins from the tray. Handkerchiefs and other small articles are pinned three or four to a pin, depending upon the size of the articles. There are 24 pin trays to one lot, with 20 pins to each tray. It is believed that each tray will have sufficient pins for each single bundle; however, if a bundle requires more than the 20 pins assigned to a tray, the necessary pins from a second tray will be utilized for the additional articles. Such cases will be exceptional as the laundry requirements for field use will be from necessity kept to the minimum.
(6) Classification.—Garments are placed in two general classifications at the marking tent: blue denims and denim laundry bags, and remaining articles in the bundle. When 24 bundles have been marked in, making up a full lot, the colored classification of denims is taken to one trailer and the remaining classification of garments is taken to the other trailer.
(7) Washing formula.—The following washing formula is used for the two classifications:
Mobile washing formula

5-minute break suds, 90-100° F_______________________________ 8
5-minute suds, 90-100° F_____________________________________ 5

28
TM 10-350
LAUNDRIES, LAUNDRY BATTALIONS AND COMPANIES 34
Although this same formula is used to wash articles in both classifications, the classifications cannot be thrown together in the same washer due to the fading and bleeding of color from the denims.
(8) Extraction and tumbling.—Upon completion of the washing process, the articles will be placed in the extractors, which will be run for 5 minutes per load. Assuming the washer is loaded to capacity, approximately 2%. extractor runs will be required per
Figure 10.—Marking individual bundles by the use of numbered pins.
washer load. When the garments have been extracted, they will be placed in the dry tumblers and dried, which will probably require from 20 to 30 minutes depending upon climatic conditions. Drying will be more rapid during summer months or in tropical locations than during the winter or in frigid locations, when the tumblers will lose considerable heat by radiation.
(9) Reassembling and bundling (fig. 11).—When garments have been dried, they are taken from the tumblers and brought back to the marking and assorting tent for reassembling and placing in barracks bags, ready to return to the patron. Assorting is done by
29
QUARTERMASTER CORPS
TM 10-350
34-35
reassembling the clothing through use of the numbered pins and checking the articles against the listing contained on the individual tickets. Pins are taken from the articles when it is verified that each bundle is complete, and then placed back in the proper trays.
35. Operation with Medical Corps installations.—Mobile laundry units will provide necessary service to Medical Corps installations in the theater of operations. Articles to be laundered, such as
. Jl
( 7'1 I H ■ &
Figure 11.—Reassembling and bundling. Bundles are being wrapped after pins have been removed and lists checked. In field operations bundles will be returned in barracks bags and not wrapping paper, as shown.
sheets, towels, operating gowns, etc., will be handled in bulk. Since practically all of these items are white cotton material, probably the only classifying necessary will be to articles in kind. For example, sheets will be laundered together, etc. Because the numbered pins will not be used for bulk work, markers will count the articles received and make any classifications deemed necessary. Resizers will count articles after they have been laundered to verify the count previously made by the markers. Mobile sections should be located as near medical installations as possible in order to reduce the hauling distance to a minimum.

TM 10-350
LAUNDRIES, LAUNDRY BATTALIONS AND COMPANIES 36
36. Operation with salvage installations.—a. With mobile sterilization units.—Mobile laundry sections operating in conjunction with mobile sterilization companies will provide necessary service for salvage installations within the theater of operations. Articles to be processed will be sterilized, laundered, and then returned to the salvage installation for repair and reissue. Laundry sections should be located as near the sterilization units as possible, in order to reduce hauling of articles to a minimum. Articles will be handled on a bulk basis as explained in paragraph 19. Operation of sections will be in accordance with principles previously explained.
b. Without mobile sterilization units.—Operations will be in accordance with principles previously explained for the bulk handling of articles.
