Tappan Appliances
Ops, I could have goofed on the CK, I had a customer years ago in NW WDC that had an electric Tappan installed this way, but she was also paranoid about her young kids and they may have installed it this way on intentionally, however most Tappan Gas and electric CTs did have the controls in the front around this time.
Tappan Revers a-Jet DWs, I am sure this feature must have worked [ at least in the lab, LOL ] But we only ever saw a few of these DWs around here and what we saw was not good. I would love to have a mint one for the Museum, and this one might work, as these appliances certainly were not used much if at all. It would be a great DW to turn Nate loose with, if you want to get it Nate we will buy it for the museum when you are done [ if it actually works ].
Side-Swing oven doors were a bad idea, you would need to wear elbow pads to keep from burning your arms and can you imagine the disaster of spilling a roast chicken or turkey on yourself while removing it from an oven, Emergency Room, here we come.
