Ross R in AZ recently sent me a dispenser wheel to go with my Norge solid-tub washer (also from Ross!)
This is by far the largest dispenser of this type I've ever seen, holding nearly 1 1/2 cups. I don't have instructions for it to know if you were supposed to dissolve the product in water or if powdered additives could be dispensed. I guess we could assume judging by the picture powdered products would work, I'll have to try it. Calgon or other water softeners were frequently recommended for use in the rinse cycle, particularly if you had very hard water and were using (non-synthetic) soap such as Ivory Snow, etc.

Norge - Timeline Model? What is the model number for the machine in the Picture of the Day? Is it the TOL machine for the year the ad appeared? | ||

Calgon
At least back when the stuff was a mix of phosphates (as is the packet sold above), was recommended for both wash and rinse water under certain conditions. Certainly if using soap for reasons we've been into before. However since during that time since so many laundry detergents were loaded with phosphates you really only needed to add a water softener to rinse.
My 1950's issues of Consumer Reports generally follows that advice; even with phosphate detergent under certain conditions it was wise to use a non-precipitating water condition (Calgon but there were others) in the rinse. | ||

Calgon was amazingly hygroscopic. It pulled moisture from the air which was the reason why it was packaged in the foil covered box. | ||

Actually it preceded the Belcher and was not offered after the lint filter was introduced. If you wanted Calgon dispensed after the lint filter was introduced, you needed to buy a Norge Dispensomat. | ||
