Laundry machines Egan pg 61

Laundry machines Egan pg 61
Uploaded for the Vintage Photos Theme Park Group. This comes from a book from the inter-war period, extolling the virtues of the use of electricity in the home and the garage. It was clearly aimed at women and sees them as a major force in the modernisation of daily life, emphasizing the labour and time-saving qualities of electrical applicances.
As one would expect there are a number of photos of other appliances in the book.Some are photos and others are graphic illustrations, including advertisements for appliances and services.

Thanks for finding this .... Mom had a 'modern' washing machine in our laundry room ... I remember it was a wringer-type .... Mom always told me "keep your hands away" .... geesh, that was eons ago ~

We have a lovely rural museum, in an old chalk quarry, at Amberley in West Sussex. In addition to a wide range of transport and industrial exhibits it has a hall sponsored by one of our energy companies, EDF. It has loads of domestic electrical appliances from the 1920s onwards. It is a bit weird seeing things that your mother used in a museum. This is a corner of their display - www.ipernity.com/doc/philsutters/32971791/in/album/504335

I remember finding one of these in my grandparents basement when I was still inquisitive.
