I love the illustration! Particularly the decor of the room....the little bouquet of rose buds....the calm mother, the quiet children, and the charming Fox (?) Terrier. Lawrence/Maytagbear | ||

Technically I'm left-handed, I write only with that hand, eat, drink from mugs, and one or two other activities. However, I open doors, cabinte doors, drawers, and drink liquids from glasses and can drink from mugs also with the right hand only. I've lieved in apartments & houses with the dishwasher on both sides of the sink. In fact my first house had it on the left side and that experience made me decide from then on it was to be placed on the right side. Maybe because the left side of my body has the CP on it and takes more concerted effort to place vessels in the machine. I found myself in the first house pivoting or rotating in order to load the machine with my right hand. So the right side works best for me. I literally found myself noticing which side of the sinik the dishwasher was placed on when searching for my 2nd and current house.

I'm a lefty as well, with the exception of one house, my dishwashers have always been the right of the sink. Either way is no big deal, but I do find myself still loading my right-sided dishwashers with my left hand, even crossing over. | ||

Paul, A good reason for that. American Kitchens and Crosley were both divisions of AVCO, and the products differed primarily by trim. Made in the same Connersville, IN plant. | ||

Electric Sink / Dishwasher Combinations: DW to Left or Righ I think it is important to look first at the earliest of Electric Sinks based on the vintage magazine ads that I have in my collection and past Pictures-Of-The-Day. My earliest ad is for the Walker Super-Sink Electric Dishwasher. This ad came from a February 1927 publication of American Builder. The dishwasher was positioned on the right side of the sink, or the stand-alone model is shown positioned to the right of the existing sink.

General Electric acquired the Walker Brother's Company in 1930. GE first produced a dishwasher with a G.E. emblem in 1932. The first vintage General Electric magazine ad that I have, which features their Electric Sink, is dated November 1936, but the magazine source is unknown to me. Two newer styles of the G.E. Electric Sink are featured in National Geographic magazine ads dating from various 1937 monthly publications. Here is a photograph of my (what I believe to be) third generation G.E. Electric Sink from 1937 - a Model KE15. HOWEVER, by no later than 1940, according to my G.E. Parts listings, the cabinet style was updated and the dishwasher was relocated to the right of the sink (it looks very similar to the electric sink shown in my current icon photo).

I have a photocopy of an AVCO Manufacturing Corporation proposal for manufacturing of electric dishwashers, dated January 1951. AVCO produced Crosley and American Kitchens dishwashers, then later became known as D&M (Design and Manufacturing). The proposal lists the following principal competitors in the dishwasher field: General Electric Hotpoint Youngstown Westinghouse Apex Sears-Roebuck Hobart Here is the photo of my 1949 G.E. Electric Sink. This style continued post WWII beginning in 1946 and continued through 1951.

In 1951, General Electric introduced their pull-out, undercounter, top loading, drawer-style dishwasher. It was also available as an Electric Sink model. Here is my 1953 G.E. Electric Sink. This style of dishwasher only lasted, I believe, until 1956, and is also the same style used in the 1955 and 1956 G.E. Kitchen Centers, such as the one that Paul (turquoisedude) has in Ogden. I do not see references to G.E. Electric Sinks being produced after 1956. This machine originally had a stainless steel top, but was removed, likely in the 1970's and replaced with a Formica style countertop such as the one that I have displayed. The sink was on the left.

Up perusing the aw.org pages and found your collection
HOLY !@#$ what a great collection - I really enjoyed looking at these. It's simply just amazing what was previously made years ago. I really didn't realize these integrated sinks and dishwashers existed and with so much variety...long ago, when I was just getting up and running.
Thank you for sharing these in photos | ||

Tom, and others, GE introduced the Calrod beginning with the 1950 Dishwasher model. The AE746/BE746/DE746 (1946 model year) and AE748/BE748/DE748 (1948 model year) models did not have the Calrod. Models beginning AE1/BE1/SE1/UC1/SU/SS1 and perhaps other model names, were produced in 1950 or after. They all had the Calrod. Simultaneously, in 1950, GE also introduced the drying cycle, which lasted about 20 minutes. The 746 and 748 models had a 10.5 minute cycle (5 minute wash, and two 2 minute rinses), then the lid popped open and the cycle ended, dishes air dried. Beginning in 1950, at the end of the approximate 10.5 minute wash/rinse cycle, the lid was popped open, but the motor continued to run, with the impeller acting as a fan. My collection includes models both before and after 1950; so some have and some don't have Calrods. I don't know this for certain, but looking at all of the Hotpoint impellers which have the two extra flat fins, positioned in between the swirl fins, I believe Hotpoint always had a drying cycle. So did the Homart, Apex, Crosley, and others? Mike | ||
