A gas flatwork dryer-ironer is a machine that is used to dry and iron laundry items such as sheets, towels, and tablecloths. It typically consists of a large drum or cylinder that rotates to tumble the laundry as it is heated by gas. The machine may also have a pressing or ironing mechanism to smooth out wrinkles in the laundry as it is being dried. To use the machine, laundry items are loaded into the drum and the machine is started. The drum rotates and the gas heat dries the laundry, while the pressing or ironing mechanism smooths out the wrinkles. The machine may also have controls for adjusting the temperature and the speed of the drum, as well as a timer to determine the length of the drying and ironing cycle.
