Another pertinent Popular Science article, this one from 1958, now we can all fight over the fact that the spray tube is a clear winner in the dishwasher wars lol...

Neat-O! Thanks, Robert

That wash arm with the circular sprayer is the one-year-only Hotpoint assembly and the round sprayer was red in color. Then they found a way to do it cheaper. I have never seen one in the flesh or metal so to speak, but the whole pump for these HP machines was right below the wash arm in the sump and was a little plastic thing with a perforated underside to suck up water.

The cycle chart for the GE showed three after rinses which, in later years, was reduced to two.

A glutton for punishment, Robert is...

And here I thought Robert was done with Popular Science for the forseeable future. Then again these threads act as a safety pressure release valve for the site... LOL!

Interesting article, this. It's fun seeing what was cutting edge technology back then. Who came out with the first SELFcleaning filter and when?

Very interesting!
I had already read this some time ago. I really like what we find in Google Books and Google News!

Thank you Robert

Thank you Robert, for finding such cool articles such as this! It's very comical for me to see how DW's were such a marvel. I do argue about the husband's motivation for buying one, was to get out of doing dishes, as especially in the 50's, that's why you had so many kids. I know that was true in our house, an alien in our kitchen, was my father any where near it! lol. Thanks again Robert your the bomb!
Hugs,
David
