Maybe the acquisition would start a new "Maypool" corporation. Its first new development could be a new top load machine with a helical wig-wag transmission. | ||

If Whirlpool takes over the Tag-line they will suck up a huge debt that has occurred, 165 million in the rear. But in reality that is pennies on the dollar when you eliminate the compitions so in the long run, there will be the top five plus an one old timer (Speed Queen). Now we are in a new race to build better machines that use less water with increase performances that premium washers like Miele and Bosch shares. Now looking into the future looking back, it would be great to see these new line of washers with chrome and lighted dash, retro but efficient with bluetooth technolgy to program the washer from a home computer for the wash and spin cycle to our likings!!! | ||

Serious question Can these DD units actually be made to have longer strokes? I know it probably could be done, but i am not very technical and this is still very new and fascinates me the more i read. Is it all in the gearing in the tranny? Pat | ||

You would think it would be possible to slow down and lengthen the strokes on DD transmissions.I could envision a primary transmission to slow down the motor speed(does the job of the belt and pulley)and gearing inside the agitate transmission to lenghten the agitator stroke. | ||
