Ok, so I don’t have much of a life but just received the 1963 Spring/Summer Wards catalog! I ordered it in hopes of seeing the washer & dryer my grandmother had that got me hooked on all this washer stuff. And lo and behold such a beautiful sight...gotta love that “Signature” logo!

But I don’t remember hearing the calming “clunk” until models manufactured in the mid 1960s. The machine in the Wards catalog (the same as my Grandmother’s) did not make the clunking noise and when it kicked into the spin cycle, it really got up to speed quickly unlike the later models...and if you lifted the lid during the spin cycle it stopped fairly quickly but no clunk.

I have a 53 Sitting on my carport and it has the brake,,,The solid tub models do take off quickly, they sling the water out almost as fast as a Frigidaire. | ||
