Had never heard of these things, given they stopped using them literally 100 years ago. Bathing "machines", like an outhouse on wheels, transported by a horse or cable. Swimsuits hadn't been invented, and "bathing suit" required private use in the ocean. Which is fucking weird that they'd bathe in the Thames river, and comment on how it stank like shit, which is still true today. Goes to show, humans have always been weird fuckers about modesty and the like.
