Extraction ='s Spin
Ages ago commercial and some domestic washing machines (think Hoover Twin Tubs), did not spin laundry, but merely laundered and rinsed. One then had to move the stuff to another machine called and "extractor" (think those big things made by Bock),where the water would spun out leaving items dry enough for ironing or how ever they were to be dried.
Once powerful enough motors that could be fitted on or into washing machines allowed for a washer that did both, the "washer-extractor" was born. As this became more the norm you simply had washing machines as it was a given they would automatically spin. "Wash automatically through the spin cycle" means process the items through whatever cycles are chosen and spin dry. It also telling the laundryman/worker that the drapes do not require hand washing or wet cleaning (twas a different process back then), and thus can go right into the washer-extractor. Depending upon his experience,the fabric in question and condition the program desinged for the automatic washer may omitt spins between washes and rinses and the final spin may be short/gentle. It's hard to pin point a date by just "tumble dry" because commercial laundries had them (often powered by steam),long before they were introduced for home use. | ||

EXTRACT When I was a kid - I had one of the first (One Dial) Bendix Economat machines and the final drain period on the timer dial said "Extract". | ||
