This was the first British-made compact machine of its type. It was partly automatic; electricity heated the water and powered a contoured rotating disc, or pulsator, set into the side of the tub. Its other distinctive features included a hand-operated wringer (being used here) which could be folded down into the machine and a hose to remove the water after washing.
