That's right, with the impeller in the back of the slanted tub, as I remember. | ||

Bosch and French Conord
Bosch also had a version controlled by a washing card and a french agitator top loader had a similar thing but with discs.

Hoover Keymatics
We have just renovated the 2nd style of Hoover Keymatic, the wide bodied Hoover Keymatic 3203 of Als, which was originally found at a household recycling tip by our friend Gary (Electron1100)
Heres the video: And the link to the thread on it here. CLICK HERE TO GO TO chestermikeuk's LINK

Hoover Keymatic Isle of Wight
Hi Jon Jetcone, really glad you have found the model keymatic you used in the Isle of Wight all those years ago...just got there in time as it was the last one produced, promoted as "New fabrics, New Keyplate for Programme Action,
never quite worked out like that, the first model alone had 4 timer upgrades along with 6 harness changes !! | ||

Now we're summing up other machines than the Keymatic, I think the Swiss Schulthess Super 4 has to be mentioned here. It works with cards that slowly are pulled through the card reader, it works like a timer. Every programme has it's own card. The card on the right shows the number 25a, so a lot of cards. must have been available.

On commercial/industrial side of things many washers in 1950's through 1970's (IIRC) if not later used some sort of card system as "automatic" programming.
Computers/electronics were just coming into their own and trickling down into all sorts. Those old enough or maybe otherwise will remember when punch cards were used to program computers. Programming if you will via a punched "card" had been around for a good hundred years or so. It was how looms were "programmed" to create embroidery and other design patterns on fabric. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Punched_ca... | ||
