Driveway washing in the pink Dexter double-tub

The activity was not limited to the basement. We also invaded Mike's driveway and ran the numerous machines he had out there for us, including the late-50's (1959 I think Gary said) Dexter double-tub wringer washer. Notice how one tub agitates slightly faster than the other. Gary said this was most likely due to the proximity of the transmission from the left-hand tub and that there is a sort of connecting shaft to drive the agitator. It is very fun machine to use. Taken at the Peoria Wash Party on July 9, 2011.

A Wash party? I wish I were there. I can just imagine all the wives laughing and pointing at their loonie husbands with their toys. Then they go back to the year 2012 and use a nice modern setup.
