There were many different methods for using machines like these, depending on how much water you had and if you had a water heater or were heating water on a laundry stove. I used a Maytag Wringer washer for many years. I filled the washer and did a load of whites, then drained the wash water, then filled with rinse water. Then that rinse water became the wash water for the next load, etc. I loved that machine, but it sure was time-consuming to get your wash done!
You're supposed to turn that extractor spout around 180-degrees so that the extracted water dumps back into the wash tub. In the old days extracted water was put back into the wash tub so that soap could be used over and over again until fully chemically reacted and used up. Also remember their hot water was laboriously heated on a fire or cookstove, so they recycled the heat too. (I edit the Wikipedia article on Washing Machines, would you have any pictures or video to contribute?)
Old washers frighten me. Seriously, back in the good ol' days there was no grounding, no electrical safety, no nuthin' Check out that metal agitator. Awesome machine though!
