Hotpoint washing machine and wringer, model A.E.1, c.1950
Most early washing machines had no spin function, and so needed a traditional wringer or ‘mangle’ to squeeze out water at the end of the wash.
[edit] How it works
The clothes are agitated in a bin full of soapy water. At the end of the wash the clothes are rinsed in clean water and then squeezed dry through the rollers of the wringer.
