CITY MILK PLANTS : CONSTRUCTION AND ARRANGEMENT. 23 



The size of the bottle-washing room depends somewhat on how the 

 bottles are handled as they come from the delivery wagons. In 

 case they have to be stacked in the wash room before being washed, 

 a larger room will be required than if they pass directly from the 

 delivery wagons to the washing machine and then on to the clean-

 stacked, about all the space necessary is that required for the bottle- 

 washing machine and ample room for the workmen to get around 

 the machine. If the milk cans are washed in this room, additional 

 space will be required.

 cause usually the bottles pass continuously through it. When there
