The wise old sage says thinking Royalty it could be a Countess with power wringer or Empress with power wringer or the princess with the hand wringer
Or was it for a Regal twin Tub or a Regent twin Tub
or there again the Bylock queen

Empress, the Rolls Royce of washing machines. it had a massive ‘post nut’ securing the inner bowl to the gearbox in exactly the same way the 1450/60 twin tub wash bowl used the much smaller plastic post nut.

The Countess used the same basic gearbox as the early 1400 twin tubs with the post nut secured by four bolts.

My mother had one of these as her first proper washing machine after a Burco boiler. She had nothing but bother with it so it was dumped in favour of a Hoover twintub after 3 or 4 years.

Though I rarely get an opportunity to get it out much these days, that’s why it’s rusty and covered in cobwebs 🙁

It’s like being stuck in a carry-on film!

Are you going to tell us (me) why it’s not just a 2 foot rusty chisel?

It’s a screwdriver not a chisel (silly billy 😉 ) A mighty tool that could screw with such force it could take heads off with one thrust…..!
