 WOW! Very cool Robert - thank you for sharing this!
I had never heard of the American Dishwasher Co. until now. Wonder if Sam Reigenstrief was inspired by Mr. La Raus for the "American Kitchens" brand....
Anyone else notice that the shape of the dishwasher was rectangular like the James? How about the wash arm that bears some resemblance to the first Whirlpool bakelite wash arm??

To me it reminds me of the Apex portable dw which came out around 1952 and had a spray arm, I suspect this may be where it originated. I had wondered why the Apex portable was so radically different from the built-in top-loader, I suspect they may have bought this design.

That is neat. Seems like it should have been a hit with the housewifes. | ||

If you will go back and read the text between the picture of the empty tank and the picture of the machine with the racks filled with dishes, there is mention of a strainer in the drain sump that catches things that might clog the hose. It has to be emptied from time to time. | ||

"what dried the dishes... " Probably the latent heat in the dishes, and the user opening the lid to let the steam escape. | ||

If the water is hot enough, it is called flash drying. | ||
