Sometimes you can learn a lot more about the past than just appliances. I Google'd Claire McCardell and was "fashion-ated" by all her accomplishments. Her entry in Wikipedia shows a 1948 Kaiser-Frazer advertisement featuring a fairly provocative outfit for that time period. If I had a time machine, I think post-war US would've been an interesting time to visit.

Yes Today's POD is from 1956. Three years before the redesigned quintessential flapping agitation system was used on Philco washers. Bendix had patented and started marketing the flapping agitator in their Power-Surge top-loaders by 1955. This was the basic design that was updated and improved to create the 1959 Philco high-frequency washer design.
