The electronics company revealed Monday at the Consumer Electronics Show its brand-new TWIN Wash System for its front loading washing machines, according to an [LG press release](http://www.lgnewsroom.com/newsroom/contents/64847 "undefined"). The system is an add-on, pull-out washer beneath your main machine, and it’s ideal for washing your delicates that require a different wash cycle than your normal clothes. ### New York's International Gadget and Invention Show, 1958  Caption from LIFE.

The machine’s also connected to Wi-Fi, so you can operate it remotely and receive notifications when your clothes are ready.
