For anyone that hasn't seen these, I thought I'd post some here. Lot's of pics of machines from a bygone era.

Creda
Very strange that the square orange door release buttons on these scans of the Creda Rhythm Spins are black.

Thanks Rob For posting these, a veritable wander down memory lane. Interesting that the Zanussi based Hotpoint appears to have had it's buttons 'airbrushed' out on picture 13! If we're putting orders in I'll have the Colston twinny. Ian. | ||

Do you have the original paper copies? Would be nice to have high-resolution images so we could read the text. What's that Hoover top-loading dryer thing, anyone ever seen one? Out of the automatic washing machines, I'll take a Creda 10500 and a Bendix 7147... maybe a Keymatic 3243H... | ||

Flatley Dryer
We've discussed those contraptions a few times before.
Basically they were a much smaller version of the large drying cabinets commercial/industrial laundries used for ages before tumble dryers came along, and still afterwards for some laundry that one wanted to hang dry. Issue was Flately dryers were a fire hazard. If lint built up or clothing got too close to the heating element it could start a fire. That and or in case of laundry if it rested too close was scorched/burned. Still these small drying cabinets beat hanging washing all over home and or using a horse in front of fire or range. Especially in damp/cold weather where things otherwise took ages to dry, and filled the home with even more moisture in process. Asko, Maytag and others made or still do offer drying cabinets. www.asko.com/eg/laundry/drying-ca... Flately airiers/dryers were very popular and the company would have likely remained in business if they stuck to just that line. But that was not the case; they put out a single tub washing machine that basically was a clone of Hoover's and were taken to the cleaners in court for patent infringement. www.1900s.org.uk/1950s-60s-flatle... www.1900s.org.uk/images-flatley-e... | ||

OK... so was the Flatley washer a clone of the Hoover impeller (i.e. Hoovermatic minus the spin can) or a front-loader? | ||
