Photo 27:
View
of the dirty, north side of the three disinfection autoclaves
supplied by a München manufacturer and numbered from right to left
1, 2, 3. They are built into the wall separating the clean and dirty
sides and have a door on each side. |

Photo 28:
Autoclave 2 seen from the dirty side. In this photo we
see through the autoclave to the other side. Dirty clothes were put
on hangers on a trolley which was pulled towards the north and put
on two short rails. Once the action of the steam was completed, the
operator on the clean side opened the door pulled out the trolley
and removed the "sterilized" clothes. |

Photo 29:
Present view of the north side doors of autoclaves 2 and 1.
The dirty side doors were rarely if ever photographed during the war
because they are on the north side when there was rarely much light.

The clean side corridor, to the
south, linking the drying room with the waiting and dressing room.
On the left, behind the pillars and separating railings, it is
possible to see the door of one of the Topf disinfestation chambers
with its peephole and autoclaves 1 and 3, south side.
