Bosch It looks rather sumilar to an AEG model that I have, see the attached pictures in the AEG has a motor as part of the handle assembly. From memory I have been able to adapt a standard Hoover bag to fit my AEG, I am afraid you may have to get creative to get new bags for your Bosch. The...

BE They do not have a wide variety of Ariel https://britishessentials.com/search?type=product&q=Ariel* Persil (Unilever not Henkel as sold in US) which is my personal choice https://britishessentials.com/search?type=product&q=Persil* Note that Non Bio powders and liquids are widley...

British Essentials AW member Frigilux uses a company called British Essentials to buy UK powders, see the story in the link https://www.automaticwasher.org/cgi-bin/TD/TD-VIEWTHREAD.cgi?94969

Fridge Freezers Jack I presume you are looking for 50/50 style. I had a look at UK sites of Marks Electrical, AO.com and Currys. Seems like the only thing that is going to come anywhere near what you want are Logics from Currys. At least they are not too dear even if not a "name". I doubt you...

I dont know the exact date when it was launched but I believe the Hoover washer was based on the Monitor wringer washer which would have been around in at least the mid 1930s. This had the impellor on the side of the tub

Dorothy I have replied to you email Al

Well done there Anthony, its looking showroom fresh there :)

What came first Was actually the Hoovermatic. But Hoover were clever enough to realise that they had thousands of wringer machines in the market place and, whilst no one was going to ditch a significant investment in a machine maybe only two or three years old, they could get similar facilities...

Laundress There is not nearly enough water in the machine, especially for a load like towels, if it had been filled to the proper level roll over would have been fine. By the way, in the opening video its a wondre he was not pulling rags out of the machine after 30 minutes agigation, 12 would...

Launch Brochure In many ways this machine opened up the home laundry market in the UK. There were machines pre WW2 of course but it was very much a fledgling market, much more so than in US, pre WW2 the vacuum cleaner was the first appliance of choice, due in no small part to Hoover's extensive...

The factory This video looks at a book published at the opening of the factory

The first of many Also sold in Canada as the 308, this is the first of very many Hoover machines. Inspired by the US Monitor machine it was planned to be launched in the late 1930s but WW2 got in the way. Originally planned to be built at the main factory in Perivale (after a major extension)...

Great job!

Do you not have the bowl and corresponding accessories? K beater (paddle), whisk and dough hook? If you can get someone to ship to Australia these are easily although not that cheaply available in UK ebay. The stainless steel bowl would be your best bet

While I am at it The Frigidaire advert from Christmas 1950, Robert has had this on AW for very many years. I have always liked this advert, it must be 20 years since I first saw it

Was watching an old episode of WML from October 31st 1965 tonight which just happens to have a short Westinghouse washer ad at 15.00 minutes in - the Heavy Duty 15. Using a wine glass reminded me of the old wonderful old Frigidaire ad from the early 1950s. There are also ads for Champion spark...

Wyvern Louis You might enjoy this video of a beautifully restored Vauhall Wyvern similar to the one your mother is pictured with. I very much doubt it would have had those carpets (or any carpet come to that) when new. This was a brand new model for the 1952 year.

Although not necessarily an ideal solution on Windows computers you could use the Snipping Tool to take a "snapshot" of the picture which you can then save wherever you like in which ever format you wish

Simpson Thats a handsome looking machine, more pictures please :)
