A short dictionary entry on the wringing machine, a device for pressing water out of cloth or laundry. It describes Bullman's English patent washing and wringing machine of about 1828, which passed clothes between two rollers turned by a crank, and notes the later importance of vulcanized rubber for roller surfaces. An engraving shows Palmer's Combined Wringer and Mangle.
