I think the reason that the Philco washer lid opened to the right was because all Philco dryer doors were side opening and that they only opened from right to left, and only 90 degrees at that. So it made it easy to load the matching dryer if the washer was on the right side of the dryer. If the washer was to the left of the dryer, the dryer door got in the way when loading, and the door couldn't be switched to open the other way. Plus, Philco/Ford never bothered to redesigned the dryer when it bought out Bendix and it stayed that way until its death at WCI. |
