Hey fellas,
Mark and I were talking today about laundromats and I started wondering are there any pre-boot, 1940-1948, slant front laundromats in the club? If so, any pictures? Also, when did Westinghouse introduce it's slant front clothes dryer? Anybody have one thar would match the pre-boot slant fronts? Just curious. CLICK HERE TO GO TO classiccaprice's LINK | ||

For several years WH made a solid door dryer that would have matched the bootless Laundromats. My 8th grade teacher had one. Later, these solid door dryers had the black glass lens mounted on the dryer door so that it would match the Laundromats of the period. | ||

How did this work anyway? Did the inner door rotate with the tub? | ||

Same as the later boot version except the inner/second door had the latch and gasket. The outer door was a 'shelf', otherwise decorative. The works changed few principal components, primarily the early gearbox became a simpler/cheaper 3-belt with intermediate reduction pulley for tumble. Suspension largely unchanged: 2 side, 1 rear support coil; 2 upper, 2 side, 1 lower snubber leaf.
