Washing Machine, Hoover
c. 1950Small sized rectangular outer cabinet of white enamel paint, enclosing a stainless steel tub and an electric motor below. Open hand-grip lifting holes are located centrally in both the front and back of the cabinet. A removable maintenance panel is screwed onto the left side of the cabinet along with a fixed rubber outlet hose. The manually powered wringer can be unlocked and swung down into the tub, allowing the top storage cover to be installed.
The first Hoover wringer washing machine was introduced in 1948, it was manufactured at Hoover`s new flagship factory in Merther Tidfyl, South Wales. A simple machine, no switch, heater or pump, you simply filled with your hot water, added washing powder and clothes, plugged it in and it started. It used Hoovers famous spinning pulsator which was housed in the back of the tub and moved the clothes around the tub through the wash water. Following a 4 minute wash you placed the clothes into the rubber wringer rollers and turning the handle pressed the clothes through the wringer to extract the water. To empty the washtub you lowered the hose into a bucket or drain.
