One for the Italian Guys:

Does anyone know the wash action in the Radiomarelli twin tubs if the late 50’s / 60’s?

Regards
Keith

But does this answer your question?

Seems to be some sort of impeller wash action, no central beater.

Thanks Launderess...i saw that clip on Youtube but when i saw the wash tub iwas intrigued, some sort of dome thing in the base of the wash tub.
I wonder if it bonces up n down ?
Cheers
Keith

Am thinking you are onto something

In that the dome thingy bobs up and down. An impeller in such a shape wouldn't move much water I shouldn't think.

Interesting TT. I wonder what all the holes in the side walls of the wash tub are for. Would be great to see it in action. The drain hose is rediculously short. Would be difficult to get that hooked over a sink. Interesting thread. Thanks for posting Keith. Simon

Hi Simon, the tub is interesting with all those holes..i think the water sloshes through the holes and back over the clothes...the wash action could be that of a Frigidaire.
The hose is probably the same as the Candy Bi-matic i have just accquired from Italy, it is concealed inside the machine pulls out when required.
I hope to find out more soon
Cheers
Keith

Radiomarelli twin tubs

My take is that is washes with vario force of water pressure, rather like the Parkinson Cowan wringer washer Keith, it uses a powerful pump to recirculate the water and in this case causes the clothes to roll throughout the tube on and over the central dome base. Water must be sucked from the sides and then pumped through the base jets to roll the clothes …

Be fab to see this one in action, he has some ingenious washers from the Perobot to this one, the spinner looks very similar to the Duomatic !!

Hi Mike, good point and that would answer the amount of holes around the tub..it would be great to see this machine in action, my initial thoughts on the spinner were that of the AEG Lavalux without a lid.
The Perobot were interesting machines...i purchased a few years ago one of the china sprial agitators (if thats the right description) from a Perobot machine.
Cheers
Keith
