Blackstone Drain I think I read that Blackstone had an unusual neutral drain. It had something to do with the agitator. Am I right? | ||

Didn't the agitator pop up & the water drain out beneath it, or am I thinking about the Bendix rubber tub? Jerry | ||

Tide popularity Remeber, also, that Tide was the FIRST detergent. So getting washer manufacturers to put samples in their new machines just strengthened Tide's position in the marketplace. Ingenious. | ||

Blackstone Drain Yep, the agitator would pop up and the water would dump into the outer tub. I've never watched this in person but I'd love to see it. | ||

Film at eleven!
Hi all Robert is planning to come out next month and film my 1955 Blackstone for a DVD he is making so you can all see it in action with noise!! Actually the entire Agitator and Tub lift up the wash water and 8 holes drilled through the bottom of the tub weight let all the water slip away. It just quietly dissappears VERY unlike the Kemore "Coffemaker" neutral drain and much much quicker too! The ribs you see are very deep grooves that are there to allow the water to flow up & along during extraction. The machine is all cast iron and very silent in all cycles and VERY heavy. In fact it is so heavy that Blackstone specifically designed it so that the top, agitator, and tub can be taken out in 5 minutes so that the rest of the machine can be moved into place!! Jetcone | ||

Neutral Drain and Slapping!
HI Joey, The neutral drain works like this: the entire tub , agitator, water, clothes are lifted up at once, so there is no change in space relation to all these elements. The agitator has large holes all around and the water flows down through there to holes in the tub bottom on out to the outer tub. It actually gushes out, not at all like a Whirlpool drain. The tub spins somewhere around 550-650 rpms on one pivot point up under the agitator so it rocks around like those amusement park rides. It has a very heavy weight molded into the bottom of the tub and so it never goes unbalanced. Someone in Minneapolis is gonna be "slapped and tenderized with all his face icons!!" | ||
