 Excellent drawing of a ghastly machine ... but it was better than the old copper (in an outhouse) that my mother had to use. Who said "the good old days"?

 Ours had a gas-powered motor. My mother had a love-haterelationship with the motor but she loved this machine.

 Oh, and the mangle - I remember this in our scullery with the copper - why was it called a copper when it was a boiler - was it made of copper?

 A copper boiler conducts heat rapidly and is a very efficient way to heat water fast.

 My mom had advanced to this style, but kept forgetting to plug it in before her hands got wet - very shocking! Perfect drawing.

 oooh I love this... I can remember hanging over the edge of my grandmother's to inhale the magically salty aroma of the zinc interior! And the wringers (if you can find 'em) make great etching presses!!

 My Grandma had one of these. She would wash the clothes in the modern washing machine then put them through the old wringer and hang them on the line to dry. I loved watching the wet clothes getting flatted in that wringer.
