I saw a Norge-Time Line that I saw throw its water. Although all of the Norge machines I have used will do a 3/4 drain and then spin. Take a look.

The extra large perforated washers were introduced as Tom stated about 1964 as 15 pound cap machines. Like GE the capacity claims keep going up even though the tub didn't get any bigger on norge and the wards models they claimed 15 , 16, 18, and 20 pound capacities at various times. For the 20 pound claim they did had to put a 3/4 HP motor in as the 1/2HP motor would not pass the UL test with out tripping the motor overload protector. In actual use all the 3/4 HP motors were good for was burning up timer contacts and wasting electricity it really didn't allow you to wash more clothes as the tub was the same size unless you were willing to stuff the tub so full as to destroy your clothes. As Tom said earlier Norge continued to make the solid tub washers through about 1968 as a less expensive lower end machine.
