Re: Anyone remember a Laundry Tub covered Wringer Washer:

[SactoTeddyBear]

I wondered if anyone remembers a Wringer Washer that sat on top of one side of a Concrete-Type Double Laundry Sink? It's name was Lil'Giant and it was a Green Apple Color and had an Egg-Timer type of Timer for the Agitation. There was a Wringer that sat in the middle between the 2-Sink's and there was also 2-handle controls, for the Agitation and Wringer operation. The Laundry Sink's had the Drain openings in the Back-Right and Back-left Corner, respectively of the Sinks, so the Drain's were towards the rear-center left and right area of both Sinks, to allow being able to get to the Stoppers easy, to pull them out to drain the Sinks after doing the Laundry. You used the typical Rubber Sink Stopper to plug the Sinks, for the Wash and Rinse Water. The Washer Agitator was conneted to the underneath part of the whole unit and sat, maybe about 1/2-inch above the bottom of the Sink. It had a pretty large Motor, that sat on the back of the unit and I'm assuming that it was only the 1-Motor to operate both the Agitator and the Wringers, just like the typical Wringer Washers. The Motor had an unusual sound to it, although I thought it sounded interesting. The Water and Detergent was put into the Left Sink, along with the Laundry and the Right Sink was filled with Warm or Cold Water for the Rinse. When you set the Timer and moved the Handle to engage the Agitator, the unit made another interesting sound, while washing the Laundry. When the Timer Rang, the Agitator would stop and you would then disengage the Agitator. Then the Wringer was engaged, by moving another handle into one direction to allow the Rollers to roll the Laundry towards the Right Sink, for the Rinse. The Rinse consisted of taking a partial length of a Broom Stick and "Poking" the Laundry and attempting to "Stir" everything around to get everything mixed in the Rinse Water. The Wringer was set to run the Rollers towards the Wash Sink side, but naturally you would then grab the Laundry and place it into the Laundry Basket. Another load of Laundry could also be Washing while you were running the Wringers, to wring the Laundry, after the Rinse. The Laundry was hung out back, because there wasn't any Electric or Gas Dryer.

"BTW" this Lil'Giant Wringer Washer was located in some Family Friend's Summer Cabin, in a side covered and enclosed Laundry Porch, off the Kitchen. They also had one of the Manual Toasters that you pulled-down the front and back covers to place the Bread on to Toast and then try to remember about the Bread Cooking, so you wouldn't ended up with Charcoal. I would like to be able to locate one of those Lil'Giant Wringer Washers. I hope that someone else remembers these Units.

Peace and Happiness to everyone, Steve
