I just finished a great new addition to the Ephemera Library include the complete line of brochures to General Electric Washers, Dryers, Utility/Sink Washer, Undercounter dryer and Combo washer/dryers!

Slowly but surely over the years the brochures for the GE line of washers and dryers are being found and posted!

#1 1962 General Electric Laundry Appliances
#2 1962 GE Pull Out Dishwasher Owners Manual
#3 1984 GE Automatic Washer Use and Care Guide
#4 1974 GE Range Brochures including the new Americanas!

You've made my day

FINALLY!!!!!!!!!!

 

A big thank you to Robert and whoever else is responsible for donating these to the Ephemera. I've been looking for the 1962 W-line literature for a long time and here they are! Gratifying to see how close I came to putting a face to the elusive WA-950W from sketches and extrapolation. And there's the WA-750 W (our first Filter-Flo) that started my interest. I haven't looked at the stove or dishwasher literature yet, but 1962 was the year we moved into our first house and was the vintage of all the GE appliances (except, maybe the dishwasher) they purchased.

 

I am so going to enjoy these.

The utility sink top washer install was really over the top,pardon the pun, in terms of installation requirements.

This period in GE's history was really a time of experimentation with different designs.

Undercounter Dryer

Did any company besides GE offer a similar dryer? The closest one that comes to mind for me is an undercounter model Philco combination machine. Thanks!
