Door port opening.......This dryer is working and actually needs nothing but a good cleaning up and a little cosmetics. Tom Anderson helped me move it and hook it up and we were both amazed by how quiet it was. It was almost silent! |

Its not a two speed clutch, its a double belt clutch. One belt was for agitate, and the other was for spin. Its one speed and one speed only.......... |

Jimmy, outstanding. I wish someone around here knew the GE history right about that time. Friends of my parents had a similiar style set. The difference was, there were parallel knobs on each machine. On the washer, inbetween/middle of the two kinobs, was the turqoise water saver button that ya pushed down to activate. The 2nd know was water temp as well as "off". I remember our owners manual had a looseleaf marketing piece in it and I believe the temp dial was referred to as the fabri-flex dial. And here's the confusing part. The washer we got, to replace the 48 bendix to keep me out of it, did not have a FF in it. It looked just like the inside of this machine. However, the panel looked exactly like the FF Jon Charles has--center lighted dial with the copper accents and turqoise buttons on the right for water saver, hot, warm, and off. I did not have a FF, I would have remembered!! I wish someone around here could place exactlyu what we had. It also had on the front left of the cabine, in a turoise banner on the right, emossed with chrome automatic washer words.

Cotton Bastie was common for ladies undergarments (slips, night gowns, etc), as well as baby's gowns,sheets, and other nursery items. While both organdy and dimity were popular for curtians, both were often used for those puffed sleeved sheer blouses ladies and little girls wore from the 1940's through 1950's. Also because both materials were somewhat stiff, they also were great for pouffy dresses, worn by girls and ladies during those same periods. Last use was for fancy aprons and pinafores, also popular during the period. Think Mrs. June Cleaver serving tea or whatever it was she did all dressed up on a starched shirtwaist dress, pearls and high heels. It certianly wasn't house work,that is what "Dahlia", "Beulah", or whatever their "girl" or cleaner was called. *LOL* L. |

Wow, they certainly did a lot of laundry in hot water back then. I would never put clothes in hot water! (just sheets, towels and underwear) Maybe people wore clothes multiple times inbetween washings and so they had to use hot water to get them clean? |

Most everything was washed in hot water because legions of houswives had been told it gave the best cleaning performace, and provided a sanitary wash. What woman would risk putting the health of her family in jeopardy by washing in warm or *gasp*, cold water. *LOL* Before enzyme detergents, when laundering with soap and or the new "detergents" hotter water temps did provide best cleaning, especially of oils, grime and muck. Some soaps like Fels, and detergents that were petrol based did a reasonably good job at cleaning in cold water, but in general soap and many detergents of the day not only did not clean well in cooler water, they did not disslove/rinse well either. This was also the era of hot wash and warm rinse, a setting you'd be hard pressed to find anywhere on today's washing machines. It should be noted that up until around the late 1950's or so, many bed/table linens, shirts, undergarments (non dainties of course), and the like were all designed to be laundered in hot water, even jeans. Textiles were woven differently, and sized to allow shrinkage. |
