Those were great, thanks. This is different from the way we used to use a Hoover twin-tub, we added the clothes with the pulsator running so it was easier to judge when it was filled properly. As long as the load kept moving, it was ok. I can still remember thinking how cool it was to hear that pulsator disc scrubbing those fabrics. |

Argghhh these films are just magic to watch :-) washing in that twin tub is so simple and quick...........you wouldn't want to film the working class women boiling up there husbands shreddies that only got changed once a month on the cooker now would you.
Much better to use the wealthier middle classes in the new suburbs, much nicer Gary |

We've had several fun discussions in the past on how and why British housewives got saddled with twin-tub washers post WWII. This while her sisters in the USA were moving away from semi-automatic washers (mostly wringers) to fully automated machines.
They would have been better off going to the local wash house. *LOL* |

Hi Bob,
The Frigidaire Mastertwin uses an impellor(spinning disc)on the base of the wash tub, not the best of washing actions as everything tangles !! I have one of these machines in my collection. Cheers Keith |
