I'll bet you couldn't touch folks who bought that Westinghouse with the "computer"!

Jim, this probably wasn't much different than any other washer with preprogrammed cycles/buttons.  But it did have a rapid-advance timer.  I"m not sure if the all-button Maytag was on the market at the same time then.

From the way it looks, that's the Nougat Gray color Westinghouse had in the 50's.

Just a way of saying they probably thought they had "arrived" in the world.  In other words, with that fancy washer with the computer...they thought they were the s%$t!   It was just an attempt at being funny.

Okay, I give up.  Why specifically 163° for the wash 'n wear setting on the dryer-?  Why not 165°, fer instance-?  And perhaps more to the point, what do you suppose the deadband range of the temperature "sensor" is: ±5°, at least, I would think-?
