Wash-In 2016 Lunch & Dinner Menu

Here's a shot of what came out of the kitchen on Saturday. From the salad dressings to the biscuits to the desserts, everything was homemade!

Yeah, I'm with Bob: what are their handles here at aw.org?

The food sounds fantastic. And I love that baby Whirlpool with the almost the same logo on the front as my '48 Kenmore. That has a much nicer winged agitator cap than my plain Kenmore one, lol.

Reply #1; photo #6: Is that top-loading horizontal axis machine a Staber?

Thanks for all the photos, Jerry.

Reply #3: Good heavens, what a menu!

 

[appnut]

Yep, that's a Staber.  I think Jeff & Cal had just gotten that when I was there in 2002.

Kevin and others, I have scads of them I will be posting, I just got back to MN and I am paying for my vacation at work now! I will get them up here soon!

Thank you Phil, I look forward to seeing them!  

 

My apologies to everyone, I guess I should try being more patient as everyone returns home, settles back into work and recovers from an awesome weekend!   But, it's not easy as I'm excited to see how the museum has changed since I was last there 6 years ago, plus photos of all the machines, the people, the food, etc

Thanks for all the pics washoholic!

Does anyone know the rpm this baby ramps up to? (From Reply #15; Photo #13)
I'd forgotten all about these laundromat extractors.

 

[yogitunes]

actually as confirmed from Jeff.....its spins around 1800rpm, pulling close to 8G's

within a few minutes, clothes are next to dry, requiring minimal drying times

 

[frigilux]

Thanks Martin (and Jeff). I recall a friend's mom used to load up several of those old bolt-down, no-safety-switch Westinghouse Laundromats, then put everything into the extractor. I could lift the lid just a hair and get a glance at the super-fast spin. I'm sure it pulled a lot of water out of the loads washed in the Westys. What was their spin speed; around 300 rpm, maybe?

And now I have a washer that spins at 1400---almost three times as fast as the 1960 Kenmore I grew up with.
