Seems like sometime late last summer or early fall someone posted a picture of a Miele from the 1920's. Louis? It was really pretty and very functional looking. | ||

I think Robert's Apex has 1948 or there abouts stamped on the motor. Robert can confirm this. I suppose the machine could be 1948 or a year or two later. | ||

Many of the early dishwashers (Hotpoint, GE, etc.) were not automatic. They were "hands free" washing, but you had to control the fill, wash, drain, etc. manually. I have some very old service stuff from GE that details the construction and operation - it's very interesting... I believe most of the Youngstown models were gravity drain until they came out with the front loading models where pumps were optional. The earliest dishwasher I have is a 56 GE Mobile Maid, quite a lot of refinements since the 30's for sure, but still the performance pales in comparison to modern machines - I'm beginning to wonder though from some of the reports about new models! | ||

gravity drain The Hotpoint Electric Sink (1952 model..was POD several weeks ago) that I grew up with had a gravity drain dishwasher. The drain was even a separate "Y" connection that joined the main drain in the basement. | ||
