1950's Wisk Commercial

What is the machine in that ad? It appears to be a solid-tub machine, and the fill flume is angled. I was thinking that it's a Hotpoint or another Beam design machine, but that control panel threw me WAY off. Has anyone solved the mystery?

Methinks it's a Philco. But me could be wrong.

I think it's a Philco, as well. However, I'm far more impressed that they threw a microscope into the tub so we could enjoy viewing a MICRO-PHOTO of Wisk in action.

Yes, Its definately a Philco Ball Point Balance Agitator Washer, 1956. I have one very similar awaiting restoration someday, neat washer and not too many around. This was the design before the flapper agitator, and I think Philco only made it for a couple of years, and yes its a Beam design, and a pretty nifty one at that........
