I'd imagine the double doors on a Laundromat made loading/unloading slightly less convenient, but allowed for a sleek look. Boy, a variable temp control? That's a high-tech feature for the time.
Interesting the early term was 'electric sink' rather than dishwasher, although I suppose that made sense as the sink/garbage disposer and dishwasher often came as a single unit. Westinghouse: Another brand neutered by WCI. Appliance divisions must not have been great moneymakers in relation to their costs as quite a number were ailing enough to allow WCI to swoop in for a bargain when corporate parents gave them the boot. Ted Malone: I love listening to old news broadcasts (radio or TV). A quick search at YouTube yielded nothing. Will have to check other sources. |
