Does anyone have a copy of the Dictionary of American Regional English to check?
Patty (from NE Ohio who grew up with an ironing mangle (and a wringer washer))


I have to put in my 2 cents - I never heard of an ironing kind of mangle
until recently- my first association is that a mangle is the wringer part
that goes over the  washing tub.  I grew up in western PA, perhaps that
helps?  So, I am always surprised when somebody is selling a flat bed iron
and calls it a mangle.
