Hi! I remember the first time I saw one with the turquoise straight vane agitator was back in about 1966. A neighbor got a TOL model with one. -Steve | ||

Lovely! My mom has '70s GE in the basement as a "spare." My cousin's wife has a circa '64 V16 with a black straight-vane Activator and super fast agitation. Nothing gets the cat hair off your clothes like a FilterFlo! | ||

The agitation stoke in these GE's is about 130-140 degrees at about 100 SPM. Shorter and faster than most machines of the era. When GE first went to a perforated wash basket, the ramp agitator was introduced. Later they switched to the straight vane "low-boy" agitator, then the straight vane "hi-boy" agitator as shown here. I believe this was done because the short vane didn't turn over well. Note that the vanes also don't reach the end of the skirt, probably to reduce roughness. After a while, they went back to the ramp. The standard capacity straight vane had 3 vanes up the barrel and 6 short vanes on the skirt. The large capacity short vane had 4 on the barrel and 8 on the skirt. I don't think they had a high vane version for the standard capacity models. -ph | ||
