Jon and Greg were here for the festivities last week and Jon found buried deep in my library a binder on Barton Automatic Washers and Dryers. The Barton company of West Bend, WI produced automatics for a short period in the 1950's.
Jon found the service manuals particularly fascinating because the original models appeared to combine both Apex Agitator Washer parts with Beam (Speed Queen) parts to make a combined machine. The next year the machine was designed with almost all Beam components. The dryer was very similar to early Speed Queen dryers as well. Anyways, he commanded me to post all four service and parts manuals so I did :-D 1955 Barton Automatic Washer Service Manual 1956 Barton Automatic Washer Service Manual Barton Automatic Washer Parts Catalogs 1957 Barton Automatic Dryer Service Manual

Barton Dryers
In our store, we sold a few Barton dryers; probably in the late '70s? The dryer drum was both large diameter, and made of stainless steel. My father used these two features as selling points. The large drum allowed the clothes to drop a longer distance through the heatflow. Barton was a simple dryer design. There was no control panel. The timer and push buttons were on the top panel, underneath a "flip-top" piece. Not a very popular item around here.
