Housewife Washes Clothes by Pedaling Bike Belted to Wash Machine<\/strong><\/p>\n

FEMININE ingenuity in the field of mechanics is demonstrated in the case of a Baltimore housewife who devised what might be called a novel bicycle-motor for turning her washing machine. She simply removed the rear tire from the bike, mounted the rear axle on a wooden upright, and belted the wheel to the pulley of her washer.<\/span> Then she takes what amounts to a stationary ride on the bike for a half hour, and lo! the family clothes are all washed.<\/p>\n

This method she found far less tiresome than the usual one of operating the machine by hand. But most of all, as a scheme for reducing it can’t be beat.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
