Dish Washer Side

Dish Washer Side

The two exhaust ducts merged into one, then continued out of the skylight.

Just looking at this, I can smell a thousand half eaten meals being steamed off metal trays.

This looks like one I worked with when I was younger. There would be a power washer at the beginning to get off the chunks and to get the dishes somewhat clean. They would be loaded into a tub and pushed into this machine. It immersed them in soapy boiling water for a few minutes, then it would drain & steam them for a few minutes more. They came out the other end hotter enough to burn you, but clean enough to see your reflection in the plates. Don't let those ducts fool you either, the dish room was always hotter than hell! Ah, the memories of the heatstroke...

Nothing better than the dishroom on a hot summer day. At least this is a manual, the automatic dishwashers are horrible, because you don't have the break as each set is washed - it's constant hot plates. Looks like it's in pretty good condition, though.

I worked in Kitchen O in the late 70's, as an after school job. The patients there weren't military veterans, then.

Not just hot, but steamy too. I washed dishes in college, and working in that steam all the time put an end to the acne I still had.
