You'd have to lift the now clean clothes out of the tub using a pair of wooden tongues into the spin dryer/rinse thing, you'd spin them, then refill using the hose attached to the cold tap & rinse & spin about 3/4 times, the outlet came out of a pipe into the sink . Wash day (usually a Monday for some reason) was an all day affair. Not like nowadays when you see the wash basket getting a bit full you bung a wash in the washer & leave it to get on with it...

Was that a US made Easy brand. Easy spin driers were designed like that. Most of the owner's liked them rather well.
