My Godfather moved into a house in 1963 that had a BOL like this. I can still hear it starting up each time b4 it filled. And it did sound just like tires rolling down the wet freeway. Got to play with this a lot, when the WO65-2 wasn't running LOL. I vaguely remember there were very small blades at the back of the "tube" (kinda like spinners that were found on "sporty" cars at the time). It helped "kick up" the water. It would "wash" in one direction for a couple of increments, pause for another increment, and start up again in reverse. The tube also spun during dry for "forced-air" drying. Come to think of it, my parents new house we bought in 1961 had the same dishwasher, but O'Keefe & Merrit brand. It got removed to our house we were selling so that the 1959 Waste King could go in the spot. |

As for the POD Tappan, the timer dial for the BOL had Rinse & Hold that aws a totally separate cycle that you started and it stopped on an "off". Then therew was the regular cycle, a short wash, a rinse & dry, and then plate warmer. Someone in the club sent me a photocopy of a brochure with the panel for the POD. I'll see if I can dig it out. Our Waste King also had the Universal part of the name on it. This design arrived on the market in 1957 or 1958. Was was a KitchenAid "knock off"--a two arm spray arm. They rusted as I've found out here. Plates loaded facing toward the center on four sides. Dinner plates wre down the center like on KA and to an extent the two sides. As you got toward the center point, the manual instructed to put smaller plates aned such so they could fit on all 4 perpindecular sides. Silverware baskets went across the front of the rack. In the back two corners were slighly different sized dish loops to take care of cereal bowls. The top rack aws shaped similarly to KA. I remember there were two sets of oblong rectangular "rails" to steadily hold glasses that were removable. I do remember one of them was removed. Mom did that so she'd have flexibility in loading various width glasses and mugs. Three cycle buttons (Full WAsh--with a Sanitizing rinse automatically); Pots/Pans which stopped after the first rinse; and Pre-Wash--a 1st wash. Cycle sequence was pre-wash, wash, a suds-kill to bring hot water back to machine; two rinses; and dry. Timer moved every 30 seconds, wasn't snapping timer, but moved by increments. And naturally, everything was scrubbed before loading. Which was good since the mom would put pots in the bottom rack. |

seemed to always be trying something "unique". The design that followed was the "spring-loaded reversing spray arm" technique |
