..water shortage? in the middle-east? Get a country that is near a water source. Add a de-salinization /distiller plant to it. Use your oil to heat the water, and purify it. Use your oil wealth to build a mega stainless steel pipeline to carry the water to land-locked countries. Distribute the water-free-of charge. Now for the hard part: Re-educate your population that water is now available and can be freely used. worst case scenario #1 use waste heat (2/3 of total fossil fuel used) to fire-up the water treatment plants. scenario #2 use heat generated from burning your garbage to fire-up the plant, then go to an electrical generating plant! oooppps- didnt meant to rain on the parade or hi-jack the thread! |

steam cleaning .... ok in the Middle-east may work on mostly white and pastel colors.. What so you do in places (like my city) where the de rigeur colors are black, navy blue and gray? Won't the steam fade the load to H - - -? or in the south of this country where (I think) it's a lot of bright and loud colors.. F A D I N G ? |

Launderess, The V-Zug uses the steam after the spin cycle to de-wrinkle the laundry, steam is not used for cleaning AFAIK. They also use the steam for sanatizing the machine. V-Zug machines are made in Switzerland, not in Sweden. And until now I have never seen a V-Zug machine outside Switzerland. On the website they clearly state that they concentrate exclusively on the needs for "Herr und Frau Schweizer". So I don't have high hopes that a V-Zug machine will show up on your side of the pond soon. Louis |

No matter what comes out, I still want a WACOMAT with electro-mechanical controls, as long as I could advance the timer manually. The ones from the 50s/60s that kinda look like the early Bendix in shape. (Not squared off, but rather more like a cylinder mounted on a base..) I don't care if I have to mount it to the concrete basement floor.. |

Yes! rear controls. Almost forgot about that. IIRC the way to dipense product into the tub was via "dump-hole" (there has to be a better way to express that!)-- no spray flush assist, no holding bin-- just a clear view of the "mesh" wash cylinder. It was similar, I believe, to the dispenser compartment (just a hatch really) in Greg's Bendix combo washer-dryer in Omaha, Nebraska. |

Did somebody use Dash in that Steam Trom to make it so TALL? The door on the top of the Bendix was called a soap trap when I was growing up in the 50s. Did others hear other terms for it? |

LOL Oh BOYS... HA! Being from NYC (and as such always cautious) I am amazed at how much info people give out.... But then again, all of you could really help the FBI about my sorry a@@ if they ever needed to "research". I sorta flinched when my last name was given out here...then go figure.. I post my own phone number. --eyes roll-- |
