Twin tub washing machines from 1960's - 1970's?

Can anyone send me a link to a pic of inside 1 of the old twin tubs with the big black thing in the middle of the washer part?

My mum had 1 when i was young and i have found a similar 1 on utube but anymore would be great i want to show my daughter. I remember my mum's being blue on outside and sure it had an opening at bottom of dryer part at bottom for water to drain into bowl/bucket

Update:

I recall being scared of the black thing lol

Update 2:

nooo lool not my mum the twin tub was blue

Update 3:

I have already google searched and want pics of old 1's not new 1's as they are not the same and Tradepost site doesn't appear to exist it's foreign and apart from that the rest is blank

Update 4:

I HAVE SAID IT WAS 60'S AND 70'S I WAS LOOKING FOR NOT NEW PLEASE READ QUESTION PROPERLY BEFORE ANSWERING

    Your Mum was blue on the outside? Why didn't you cheer her up?

    I haven't got any pics. but try looking for the brand names;

    Hotpoint Supertwin, Hoover, Indesit, and Servis.

    They all made twintub machines, and I was still using a Hotpoint Supertwin until Spring 2007! but I got lazy and invested in a Zanussi automatic instead.

    The twintub didn't use anywhere near as much water, got things much cleaner, and in a straight run through, I could wash a lot more clothes in a lot less time with the twintub!

    Twin tubs are being made and sold again, even Argos has them, why not nip along to your nearest large store and take a few pix? (If in doubt, google 'Twin tub washing machines)...
