Wringer
A mangle is a mechanical laundry aid consisting of two rollers in a sturdy frame, connected by cogs and (in its home version) powered by a hand crank or by electricity.
Mangles are used to press or flatten sheets, tablecloths, kitchen towels, or clothing and other laundry. The "wringer", a smaller lighter machine of similar appearance and function, was used to squeeze the water out of wet washing. While mangles remain in use in commercial settings, wringers have been made redundant by the spin dry cycle on modern washing machines.
