Another trick that can be used is, for instance: The tap water has only to be raised or lowered ten degrees or less, so why not increase the water flow to 90 gallons an hour and get the benefit of faster washing for positive? However, with a simple wire rack, two Stineman reels can wash, one on top of the other in the same tank. In closing, I wish to thank W. L. Holladay, Refrigeration Engineer for the General Electric Company, and Percy Millard, Laboratory Expert, for their criticism and suggestions.
