I thought it would be nice to share a scan of the picture of my mother's twintub as an addition to the British Twintub thread. Twintubs were not very popular in the NL because a lot of people stuck to their wringer washers and often bought a separate spindryer. Dutch housewives didn't like spending extra money for the extra convenience of a twintub. I guess my parents were a bit different in that aspect. My mother had saved quite a sum of money before they married, she had her own business (a business in repairing nylon stockings).
I remember seeing it as a child, but don't have any recollection of my mother using it. We had the TOL twintub or one model below that one. The TOL model had automatic heating and washing (when the selected temperature was achieved, the machine would start washing automatically. The one model below it had a thermostat, but it didn't start the washing action automatically. The spinner had a rinse function (both models) with a center rinse colom with holes from top to bottom. IIRC I read somewhere that the spinspeed was approx. 1500rpm. We had this machine until 1964 I think. It was then replaced by a Candy frontloader that we only had for 1 year because it broke down three times in that year.
