[. . . ] Do not open dress zippers (or buttons) with AIR ON, as this may change the shape and natural drape of the dress. Grasp shoulders of dress, lift upward, and slide dress from form in a sidewise, or oblique, motion. If next dress is a smaller size, reduce form to its smallest size with AIR OFF. It is unnecessary to make repeated adjustments for successive garments, when they are approximately the same size and type. PRODUCTION HINTS 3. 4. Plain skirts, particularly corduroy, may be finished on the form finisher similarly to the procedure outlined above by placing the skirt on the lower portion of the nylon form with the waist band at the waist position and; with the arm zipper; of the form closed; or, by holding the waist band taut slightly above the shoulder form with the skirt hanging evenly over the upper portion of the form and with the arm zippers open. In finishing flared dresses it is sometimes impossible to expand the nylon form to the size of the garment. . . In such cases, adjust hip and lower width to as large as possible. Then, during the steam cycle, pull the lower edges of the garment until the entire garment is progressively brought into contact with the form for steaming; then follow with normal drying procedure. When finishing ladies jackets or small-waisted garments, it is suggested that the operator fasten at least one button above the front clamp to help contain the fullness of the nylon form. Page 12 INSTRUCTIONS FOR ADJUSTING HEIGHT OF REVOLVING FORM Should the revolving form drag on the Form Finisher base rather than turn freely, the form must be raised. Conversely, if the revolving form rides too high above the Form Finisher base, permitting steam to escape from the space between the form and base, the form must be lowered. WHEN AN ADJUSTMENT MUST BE MADE, REMOVE REVOLVING FORM BY SIMPLY LIFTING IT STRAIGHT UP OFF THE FORM FINISHER BASE PROBLEM: Revolving Form drags on base of Form Finisher TO CORRECT: Loosen Bearing Lock Nut. If perfectly adjusted, form will rotate freely and snugly on felt seal around top of base. If form is still too low. . . or too high. . . repeat adjustment until it is correct.
