Hi everyone, so by chance I recently found the owners manual to the very first Norge automatic washer, from around 1949. After seeing the instructions on how to operate the machine I'm pretty confident that either Norge purchased some of the parts from Bendix or had Bendix build the machine for them. I'm not sure why they did this since they released their very own design of top loader starting in '51 and discontinued this front loader.
It's a super cool 18lb front loader, the first large capacity automatic to be built. I have both the brochure and owners manual to this machine now on Automatic Ephemera. I don't know if any of us in the aw.org family has ever found one of these machines. It sure would be very interesting to find one.
