The Norge we had(Fedders)the tub would spin a couple of revolutions at the beginning of agitation until it locked into place.At the end of a cycle you would be able to turn the basket by hand until the brake locked it into place.

Pat, once Norge came out with the perforated tubs, they all did that rotation until it locked.

I remember with the Norge machine,you could see the suds between the two tubs building up.Don't ever remember a suds lock though.Very beefy washers.

Norge washers

Hi Bob (Appnut)One question about the Fedders/Norge machines.
Fedders didn't change the mechanics of the machine when they put them into production did they? I mean apart from cosmetic differences,they seem to look like the late sixties Borg washers. One more question,what year did Fedders buy Norge from Borg-Warner?

That I'm not sure about. Maybe 1969 or 1970.
