Interesting! I recall that the Viking (Westinghouse-built) 60s version we had definitely had the two slot detergent dispenser (it even said "Deluxe Dual-Wash" on the control panel). BUT there was also a "Hot Water Booster" Cycle that extended the main wash time by about 10 minutes. The Westinghouse pre-rinse system was different - the timer dial mechanism moved the water inlet nozzle over the detergent cups to let input water flow over it. So if a prewash was wanted, you filled both cups; otherwise it was pre-rinse I guess. I remember the separate drain pump (that's what ultimately led to the death of that dishwasher) and strainer.
Closest I've ever gotten to one is this 1962ish Monkey Ward's Signature machine that I found at Hansens once upon a time...

I have one. It may very well have been Tom's machine. It is pristine and works perfectly thanks to Jason who gave it a good going-over a few years ago. I love to use it. The sound reminds me of when all the machines were impeller type. |
