I remember a Whirlpool portable model which did not have a agitator but a black paddle in the bottom of the tub. You might almost call the high-efficiency Whirlpool non-agitator model a 'rough' reincarnation.
This Whirlpool model only had one water inlet valve and used a Y-hose connector. The paddle would run for about 20 seconds in one direction, then stop and reverse and operate for another 20 seconds. It created vortex like activity in the tub. The switching to shift the rotation was a mechanical switch driven by a small electric motor possibly a timer motor or two pole shunted type. Thanks | ||

Whirlpool 1900 "Wringer" Washer
Think is what the OP is referring.
This was a very early washer from WP that had a disk with a sort of fin at bottom of tub which went around, sort of an early version of impeller. Whirlpool called it a "circulator". Pipe: news.google.com/newspapersQUESTI... http://www.ebay.com/itm/Whirlpool-Washer... Someone had one on Ebay last year, but the auction was ended early because item "was no longer available". | ||

laundress, You came up with pictures of the things that said they used a circulator so you get points for that. Good searching! | ||

In Australia in the 70's Malley's, the company that owned the rights to the Whirlpool name in Australia, sold compact impeller based automatics and twin tubs. They were made in Japan by Sanyo. My Aunty owned one. It lasted for 20 years without issues. This was the first generation machine | ||
