When I was a kid (1960's) we had a twin tub top loader washer: it had a normal agitator tub with a spin dryer/rinse thing at the side. You had to put a hose on the hot or cold tap (faucet) to fill it, you'd wash the cleanest clothes first then dad's (& later mine) dirty overalls/work clothes (he & then later I then worked at a coal mine) went in last. 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...
