Trade in Transition: Exports from the Third World
A hand-crank operated golf ball washer comprising a cylindrical container in which there is an elongated drive shaft supporting a first scrub element covered in a plastic outdoor carpet material, a second and shorter cleaning element which is covered with the outdoor carpet material, and a third, drying element covered with a towel-like drying material. The ball is directed through helical grooves formed in the outer periphery of the inside of the casing and spaced from the different elements just the correct amount to force the golf ball into contact therewith. Plastic sponge elements are placed within some of the helical grooves and absorbent towel elements are placed in others. The elements are separated by baffles with aligned openings therein to transfer the golf ball.
