When we lived in Marin County California in around 1961, my mother had a delightful washing machine. Yes it was electric but a bicycle could be added instead. It had a kind of starfish in the base that wiggles from side to side.
It was an upright barrel with a hand wringer on the top at the side. It had a wooden lid so that it could be used as a counter when not in use.
Good story. I'm guessing that they hang their clothes out to dry.
If you are able to hang your clothes out to dry it is one of the easiest ways to reduce the waste of energy causing pollution and climate change

So you crank it yourself! I like this idea!

How exciting, congratulations
