Haven't seen too much on GE wringers. How were they compared to Maytags?

My grandmother on the farm had one and so did my aunt.
My Granny had 7 kids and my aunt had 5.
Their washers didn't have the showy legs, but the full skirt.
When my aunt left the farm in the early 80's she brought it with her and then was embarrassed by it and bought her first automatic.
It was a Hot Point that had serious motor and transmission problems.
My mom felt bad because she sold it to her when she worked at the local hardware.
From there the washer went to the cottage and I think was sold with the cottage 5 years ago.
I think they were beasts of burden and were pretty reliable

 somewhere in my collection, packed away in the basement, I have a Laundry Guide from GE (1932). In it, the wringer is featured with step by step instructions for laundry and also a GE twin tub is featured. The twin tub is very much like an Easy Spin-Drier.....I don't know how long they were made. Does anyone have a pic or other information on this?
