The square reel of each arm revolves loosely on its centralaxis, the end of which rests on the outer edge of thetrougL At the end nearest the chain each reel has afixed wheel or pulley. The rails M x, on which thesepulleys rest, receive a vigorous to-aud-fro movementtransmitted by the crank shaft l, and thus cause thereels to revolve rapidly to right and left alternately, andthe hanks to vary their point of suspension. By therevolution of the large pulleys B and c, actuated by theendless screw o, the radial arms receive a rapid and con-tinuous progressive movement in the direction indicatedby the arrows. At the points G and i the trough is dis-continued ; fresh water enters at G, and the dirty waterpasses out at i. As the arms pass between the space Gand F, the washed hanks are removed and at oncereplaced by others ready for washing. These enter thetrough at i, and pass round, in a direction cont
