interesting---you can see where "Whirlpool" became their moniker as I'd bet there's no reciprocation on this one.
Am I wrong or,,,
Looks like that there was the original "Wash Plate"???

Cannot say how this washer worked. Guess impeller or whatever that thing is on bottm of tub created some sort of vortex wash action.

Yes, early 1900 washers touted their (then) hand driven washing machines had far more gentle washing action because things were moved through a "whirlpool" of water.

Guess concept of impeller wash action goes back further than one imagined.
Who knew?

Whirlpool was using a direct drive system on this machine way back then. Interesting how a couple of these ideas played out over the history of their automatics.

There's a European automatic version of this agitator on Youtube somewhere, once linked here at Aworg; it may have been a Brastemp. Wouldn't it be grand if you could find it, Love. The load really did some memorable rockin' and rollin' !

Jamie, thanks so much for the link to the tread--such shared excitement--but the link is not there for the video.
Will try to search Youtube for it.
