From Graces Guide
317. MARSDEN, BENJAMIN, Leeds — Manufacturer.
A washing, wringing, and mangling machine, the novelty being the fitting-up and action of the machinery in the interior of the cylinder, including oscillating frames, springs, etc., and resembling the action of the human hands. Occupies little room; is easily removed, and is capable of washing and wringing four blankets in ten minutes. Can be worked with ease by a girl; saves time, soap, and labour; and with it, infected linen and other articles unfit to be washed with the hand can be easily cleansed. The principles and details are equally applicable to a machine on a large scale to be worked by steam power.
