What is this a picture of?

Hi there ms1981d, thanks for responding, and thanks for moving into your own space. I would have unknowingly given the credit to the comment above thinking that you would get it. So, how did you figure it was a washing machine, I am curious. It is an antique German washing machine. Take care...Congrats!

whohoo I won :-p lol, this is my first best response on myLot...thx ;-) yeh...well I saw that motor so I knew that some rotation or otherkinda movement were possible...and I saw only one door (entrypoint) so I thought of applications that would need such tool...and I came up with the washing machine as my answer :-) ~MSD~

Hi there ms1981d, I am happy that I gave you your first best response, keep up the good work and have fun!

No howard96h, It is not an ice cream maker! Nice observation though, thanks for responding!
