кулиса
Russian to English
Tech/Engineering
Construction / Civil Engineering
It occurs in the list of defects to be remedied in an apartment block built in Moscow in 1934:
Доделка кулис сушилки и прачечной.
These were both in the basement of the building, and I do not know whether they were adjacent. I cannot figure out, from the various meanings of the word, what is meant here. Can anyone throw some light on this?
Many thanks in advance.

hanger
This refers to the airing cupboards.
выдвижные кулисы для сушки белья (кулисных сушильных шкафах)
Белье завешивают на кулисы и снимают после сушки последовательно.
Завешивать каждую кулису следует бельем одинаковой плотности. При различной плотности толстые и длинные вещи должны быть размещены на верхних вешалах.

Comment: "Thank you; as it refers to both laundry and drying room, this seems the most likely."

It could also possibly refer to some sort of partitioning wall.
