of watching a washing machine was one of these machines. My Mom's first automatic washer was a Bendix Economat. It was located in our basement and when I was 3 yrs. old I can recall watching Mom do the family laundry in this machine and hanging it up on clothes lines that were strung under the rafters of the basement ceiling. I especially remember how the damp clothes were all smashed up against the agitator when she lifted the lid. We didn't get a dryer untill 1955 and it was a Norge with a "Timeline" control panel. When the Bendix was replaced in 1956 it was with a Hamilton with the anodized blue and gold control panel.
