You're right; they didn't have safety switches on their machines until the late '60's and I'm surprised that they got away with that, especially with Consumer's Reports which might have given them a "Not Acceptable". Below is the ad for their TOL from 1967 and there is no lid switch in sight (and they didn't use the invisible switches their parent company used on their washers).
Of course, that's a "Pro", not a "Con" for people like me.
