David, theoriginal GE wasn't nearly as fast an agitation until ater the reesign in 1960 or 1961 when the perforated tub was released. The solid tub machines weren't as aggressive agitation. FFlo didn't ocme out until 1956? Our solid tub GE, that replaced our Bendix, was the non Fflo model of the POD showing lint was removed on dark sox. It looked exactly like the washer in the POD except on the front"bage" secton at the top of the cabinet it sai Automatic Washer insttea of Fflo.

I didn't see Hotpoint listed either. It's possible Whirlpool isn't because the majority of their production was for Sears. This contest was going on at the time of my birth, and ended when I was 11 days old. My mom had a wringer washer until Christmas, when my dad bought her a new Westinghouse. |
