OMG OMG OMG Those were in the laundromat granny used to use after her GE FF died (by around mid 60's), and she was not allowed to replace it. (FEH! I would have told grandpa exaclty where to go.) Grandma and grandpa preferred the dryers at the laundromat to line drying. [Total opposite of most immigrants) "Cleaner" than a NYC alley and there was a morbid fear of wearing damp clothing and or getting wet in general. Believed to cause illness. I believe those machines were finally replaced in the late 80's. Spaking of laundromats, I wentt to one the other day to wash some large area rugs. Saw someone wash four load of laundry. Took the stuff home wet. Where in heck do you dry four loads of laundry in winter? (I am assuming without mechanical assistance.) Perhaps her washer died. |

Those are the old "Mae West" Style and were fantastic machines. There are still a lot of them here in Ft Worth. |
