interesting---you can see where "Whirlpool" became their moniker as I'd bet there's no reciprocation on this one.

Cannot say how this washer worked. Guess impeller or whatever that thing is on bottm of tub created some sort of vortex wash action.

@Jamiel

Yes, early 1900 washers touted their (then) hand driven washing machines had far more gentle washing action because things were moved through a "whirlpool" of water.

Guess concept of impeller wash action goes back further than one imagined.

Who knew?

Whirlpool was using a direct drive system on this machine way back then. Interesting how a couple of these ideas played out over the history of their automatics.

There's a European automatic version of this agitator on Youtube somewhere, once linked here at Aworg; it may have been a Brastemp. Wouldn't it be grand if you could find it, Love. The load really did some memorable rockin' and rollin' !

Jamie, thanks so much for the link to the tread--such shared excitement--but the link is not there for the video.
Will try to search Youtube for it.

Did not see anything either.

Searching playlist of channel didn't bring up a match as well.

Jamie Pulsator, who wrote the thread which Jamie Jamiel posted, does not have an email.

Maybe he'll see this, or maybe someone could message him.
