Does anyone know the wash (opm) and spin (rpm) speed of these washer? Normal and Gentle. I believe the Franklin transmission was used, if I'm not mistaken.

We owned a "WH" TL in that time frame. I was under the impression that it was actually made by Easy for White. The speeds were "average".
Just before that we owned the White version of the WH FL. Mom kicked it out of the house, it kept breaking down. The Easy TL didn't.

The top-loading washer from Westinghouse was made by Easy c. 1962-63 , three models offered. In 64, Westinghouse introduced their own design, similar in many ways to the Franklin but it was in other ways distinctly Westinghouse. Westinghouse appliance division was acquired by White-Consolidated Ind. in 1974. WCI continued to make the Westinghouse design into the early 80's (?) when it mostly disappeared into the Franlin, WCI plastic indexing tub wonders.
The history of the White Sewing Machine Company is fascinating. They were pioneers into the import market, importing Asian- built sewing machines by the late 50's. A decades-long supplier for Sears Kenmore, and <span style="text-decoration: underline;">many</span> other brands they sold about 20 kajillion sewing machines. In the 60's White began acquiring other companies. Franklin-Beam, Hupp Corp., Apex Mfg., Kelvinator, Gibson, Westinghouse were all eventually swallowed up by White that became WCI in 1964.

I have the White sewing machine that belonged to my mom. I don't know exactly how old it is, but I'm thinking she bought it sometime between 1947 and 1954. It has a "Colonial" style cabinet, which is quite nice.

KM sewing machine
we got in 'or so is a Made in Japan job, maybe a White? It's all cast aluminum or whatever metal they used and is a very fine machine, no problems in 40 years of 3 kids, quilts, drapes, you name it. A real quality piece. The only plastic is in the knobs and the molded white plastic case!

Ahh, so the fast spin speed is only around 520 rpms? That's pretty slow. How about the fast wash speed?
