Wow that is an early dishwasher. I wonder about safety, though. Consumer Reports articles from the 50's detail how various washers had a poor record for electrical safety, with shock hazard being a not uncommon hazard. The 30's were the days before grounded plugs and outlets, as I understand. Plus, electrical cords may not have been all the heat and water resistant. Stick it all under a sink with an exposed pump motor, and where someone is likely to have their hands immersed in water in the adjoining sink... yikes! I suppose maybe though that the water pipe may have provided a good chassis ground, and thereby have avoided some of the problems that a free standing machine might have. |
