I've seen something like this before with a sink that had a built in dishwasher, but I've not heard of Walker electrical dishwashers. Something from the 30s?

I would love to know... ...how this impeller thing was working. Has the sink to be filled with water up to the edge and then the water will just swirl around? There are no spray nozzles... | ||

 The impeller does pretty much the same thing as the spray nozzles in a wash-arm, it delivers water at high velocity toward the dishes to clean them. The whole tank is NOT filled with water... like a regular dishwasher there are 3 - 6 gallons in the bottom. The impeller spins at high speed, like any pump or fan, which flings the water up when it comes in contact with the impeller. There are a number of videos on Youtube which show this type of machine (like this one) I hops this helps! Kevin | ||

In New Jersey... My Town Wood-Ridge
Back in the early 30's and 40's , there was a developement that was called "Sunshine City". They featured in there Model Homes, were "Walker Electric Sink" This was a extremely Major Upgrade and another feature in a "Sunshine City Home" was a Twin Laundry Tub with Hook ups for a Wringer Washer and .... A Automatic Feeding Coal Furnace.
I have been looking for a link to show in this chronology but have no luck so far. | ||

Thanks @ Revvinkevin @ Unimatic: So I hope you will find the missing parts as the rack. I guess it will be hard work to get it functioning again... | ||

I think Kev meant 6 quarts of water or less to fill it. | ||

Tom, something that old wouldn't use THAT little water, just a gallon or so per fill, would it?? That would be like the current modern dishwashers that wash with "a cup of water" and only operate one spray arm at a time, right?
I know the older "spray arm" dishwashers take on what, 3 - 4 gallons per fill? I know my Kitchenaid KDA-5 does. Do these impeller dishwashers use that much less?

The KD-5 uses about 2.3 gallons per fill. Old impeller machines did use only 1 to 1.5 gallons per fill. The only spray arm DWs that used 3 gallons per fill were the older Maytags in the 70s and some Westinghouse machines. Frigidaires from 1965 to 1980 may have also. | ||

Oh,the GE Potscrubber II also used 3 gallons per fill. Most other DWs in the 70s used 2.3-2.5 gallons per fill. | ||
