Laundrecar (mobile laundromat) in magazine story

[mathewhebailey0]

Has anyone seen this in a 1957 Popular Mechanics magazine I have?
Here is the link http://books.google.com/books?id=De...ed=0CDEQ6AEwAw#v=onepage&q=laundrecar&f=false
It shows both the exterior & interior of a mobile laundromat called
a Laundrecar. It looks like there are Bendix machines in it but besides the LP tanks
supplying gas to the dryers & wather heater for the washers, any mobile laundromat ought to have a generator & freshwater/waste water holding tanks when water supply,
electrical & wastewater connections are not available.

I also did some Google & Bing searches including image searches on modern mobile laundromats & laundromat trailers.

Those used to be wonderful magazines! PM even had an issue with an article that explained the water balancing system in the WP-built 29" combos.
