Dear Rintje, there is not much context. This is mentioned in a movie commentary, but they don't explain anything, they only say this is an old type of washing machine, which we don't see around anymore.

Rollers Are there rollers on it - like those old types with mounted on wringers?
Or is it a rolling drum?
