As someone who has one of these machines I can't answer whether or not Bendix handed it down to Philco. My machine is a Philco-Bendix Automagic Washer. The agitator column remains still during agitation and the "flapper" at the bottom undulates up and down in what appears as a circular pattern (but it's really not rotating) This creates the Automagic Action. The agitator also undulates on the spin as well. It really is quite something to see if you haven't seen it in person before -- I will say that I wish the spin speed was faster on these.

Thanks for the answers and links! Philco certainly went their own way with this wash action. Do any of you think the flapper action cleans as well as a conventional automatic? When did Philco last use this system? |

is quite effective, on tap with a Frigidaire. They can take more than a mouthful and keep the load turning over. Go watch my youtube video. This was a test video I did to see just how much it could handle.
