Nice pictorial, Baja. I just want to add that the 1957 P series appears to be identical to that you illustrated for 1958, pink cap and all. I am absolutely sure of this as we once owned the '57 set. Ours came with the copper lint pan. |

can anyone explain why GE flip-flopped on the str8/ramp design? did GE advertise benefits of either one? |

The 1957 "P" series was identical except that the bottom part of the activator, right below the pink screw-off cap was grey-ish. The images got squished when I translated them from Freehand to JPEG; that black V,W,X,Y activator was squat to begin with in the drawing, so sorry. GE switched back to the spiral ramp design when Whirlpool/Sears came out with their ratcheting cork-screw design and made a big deal out of rollover. GE must have realized that it had a good thing and reinvented the wheel for nothing. |
