Yes  Robert we even have one, a 1966  2 speed mini basket model with a full width florescent light. In the later 1980s GE sold a 24" model here that was made in Venezuela that had a removable front panel and the motor and pump was located in the front left of the machine. On these machines the FF stream of water came into the washer at the 7 o'clock position. I sold one of these as a rebuilt machine a half dozen years ago to a property on Capitol Hill that is still going strong.

They existed for many model years but never made it into the brochures or catalogs to my knowledge,  except for once in their 1966 catalog. They were promoted in certain areas like NYC where space was always a concern. I'd love to get my hands on one from 1961, 1962 or 63. Let me rephrase that, I'd KILL to get my hands on one. Whirlpool also made 24" BD machines that I used to see in their NYC showroom on West 57th Street. I used to wonder why, if they could make one of their regular capacity machines fit inside of a 24" cabinet, they usually came in the monstrous 29" width.  I had friends who had a 24" Whirlpool in the sixties that lived behind the bathroom door of their coop.

Yes Ken the 1966 GE WT3850B you found the specks for is the exact one that Tom and I have. But as Tom said about the 24" WPs the GE also had a little smaller tub and there was less room inside the cabinet of the WP or GE for out of balance loads to crash around in, so the larger machines were probably more satisfactory overall. However I agree these 24" washers were still much better than some of the little compacts that came out later. and it is too bad that they weren't promoted more.
