Does anyone know the wash (opm) and spin (rpm) speed of these washer? Normal and Gentle. I believe the Franklin transmission was used, if I'm not mistaken. |

The top-loading washer from Westinghouse was made by Easy c. 1962-63 , three models offered. In 64, Westinghouse introduced their own design, similar in many ways to the Franklin but it was in other ways distinctly Westinghouse. Westinghouse appliance division was acquired by White-Consolidated Ind. in 1974. WCI continued to make the Westinghouse design into the early 80's (?) when it mostly disappeared into the Franlin, WCI plastic indexing tub wonders. |

I have the White sewing machine that belonged to my mom. I don't know exactly how old it is, but I'm thinking she bought it sometime between 1947 and 1954. It has a "Colonial" style cabinet, which is quite nice. |

Ahh, so the fast spin speed is only around 520 rpms? That's pretty slow. How about the fast wash speed? |
