For all you Oz fans out there todays picture of the day is an Ausralian version of the Kelvinator orbital action produced in the early 60's. It was available as an automatic and also a semi-automatic. The machines had their own heating element, hence the description "no hot water system needed". As for the price 218gns, before dollars and cents we in Australia had pounds, shillings and pence. A guinea (gns) was a pound plus one shilling. Approximately equivalent to two dollars and ten cents today. Back then this was an expensive machine. Great to see it.
