Summary
Laundry in Wartime- the work of Gleniffer Laundry, Catford, London, England, UK, 1944
A worker at Gleniffer Laundry in Catford places a shirt into a large ironing machine. The top part of the press (clearly visible on the left) will pull down into position and iron the front part of the shirt in one go. According to the original caption, the machine is operated by compressed air and is part of a larger unit "specially designed for the complete drying and ironing of shirts. The unit, consisting of three machines, is capable of turning out anything from 75 to 100 shirts per hour, with two or three operators".
The UK Ministry of Information was established in 1939, at the outbreak of World War II. It was responsible for coordinating and controlling all government information and propaganda, both within the UK and abroad. The Ministry of Information was created to help the government communicate with the public and to ensure that important information was disseminated effectively. It was also responsible for managing the media and censoring certain types of information that might be harmful to morale or national security. The Ministry of Information played a crucial role in shaping public opinion during the war, and it worked closely with other government departments to develop and implement a range of propaganda campaigns. The Ministry of Information was dissolved in 1946, following the end of World War II.
