    The powerglide is an old washing machine with a wringer on the top of it. It would have been situated next to a sink, with the water being syphoned in and pumped out via a rubber pipe. There would have been an electric motor that moved the agitator back and forth that washed the clothes. You would rinse the clothes out in a sink with cold water before placing them in a spin dryer. I remember such a machine from 45+ years ago.

      Definitely an old wringer washing machine. The rollers on top wring the water out. They are still available here in the US. Last one I saw was on a tug boat in New Orleans to wash the crews clothes.

    ... 10:15 ... i have seen little wringers for clothes before but there is no manual action nor a button ... usually clothes wringers are much larger and manual as we had in queensland when i was growing up ... i am wondering if it is not a metal presser for gold foil or silver foil as in mobile phone and computer parts ... i eat edible gold foil and edible silver foil as much as i can when i can afford to do so ... maybe an initial stage of pressing preparation because the bottom part needs to be affixed in order to work and is not manual but electric and maybe portable ...

      In the mid 60's my Mum borrowed next door's new electric washing machine to have a go and it had a constantly turning mangle on the top and just an on/off button. Stupid stuck her fingers between the moving mangles when no one was home and rubbed most of my skin away and broke my finger. Still have scars and bent finger to this day. I met a kid in late high school (in Melbourne both from the UK). He'd got his forearm stuck and like me the skin just got rubbed away in the one spot. He needed grafts. Couldn't believe there were two stupid kids doing the same thing at about the same time.
