There's that word again -- MANGLE. What is a mangle?

Edit: I just googled. I know what they are...just have never called it that. We used one like that in the Home Management House at college. We had to iron everything. I suppose that's why I don't iron too many things today...and my priorities are elsewhere. Folding sheets while they're hot from the dryer works well. OR... put them back on the bed while they're warm, stretch them well.
