A Convoluted Tale of 210 ° arc-cuate washing

Marvelous!

I knew it, I just knew it all along. SQ comes through again!

Let us rejoice, mystery and debate settled once and for all!
 
Well, there is another debate at AW.org successfully settled.

Its certainly more than 180° - and almost certainly 210° (Although I don't have a compass with me, so someone else can measure). 
 
Oh no!

Yikes, we're back to square one. Ok akronman, somehow you need to grab a camera and do a vid like rwindiana.

Just when you thought it was safe to go back in the water..............
 
trick of the eye.....those agitators are moving faster than what the eye can see....as RW showed in the vids, for which they too looked like only 180 until it was slowed way down.....

SQ solid tubs all used the same tranny as what Jon has in his '57, and with the tranny opened, he marked a 210 degree stroke....

I think it just falls as an optical illusion....
 
Plus 2 to Yogi

as well. Unfortunately, my canon does not have a slower FPS setting other than the factory default. Thus I cannot do a slow-mo and thus, I take rwindiana vid at full faith and credit.

I only have the one cheapie digital snapshot/video camera, and no intention of buying a new one. So who knows, maybe it tricks the eye? Maybe if I had a 2 speed SQ and filmed it on low speed, it would clear up questions, but mine is single speed only. It's a great solid tub washer, well built, excellent rinsing and overflow, so I'm gonna stop caring what the exact degree is and just enjoy the action and water noises and results. I wish I had first found a stainless solid tub machine, it's a slghtly larger tub than the porcelain, but this is the one I have and it will keep me happy for years.

Somewhere on my list of desired machines is a 60's GM Frig solid tub, I think it was their mode of operation until the 1-18 in 1970? And a GE Soild tub filter flo, I think I have to go back to 63 ish?, 65 ish to find that before the perf models. All the varieties impress me more than a dozen models of the same base design.
