Hilarious, that could also explain why it was called the Pulsamatic in the first place...

semi-automatic FRIGIDAIRE washer
My Aunt Margaret had one like this.She lives in Anne Arundel County(Glen Bernie),Maryland.It was from 1960-1962,DeLuxe and would agitate as long as you wished untill you changed over to spin. Hers had no booster/heater and the agitator was the "3 Ring"with the rubber cap and plastic cup bleach dispenser.She replaced it with a semi automatic Speed Queen twin tub spinner.Then after her surgery she got a FRIGIDAIRE Jet Action 1-18 Imperial washer and dryer (1973) and just recently replaced them with a Whirlpool Duet pair.She was the angel who got me started in my love for washing machines and to this day,I still have the sprinkler 3 ring agitator she got with her original washer/dryer.Thanks Aunt "Maggie"!!!!!

fond memories--Thanks!
My Aunt Margaret got me started on the Easy Spindriers. She was an Angel too who went to heaven on Christmas day a few years ago. We called her "Marge."
Small world, huh?
And now a Speed Queen TT. Was it like the Hoover or did it have an agitator? Until yesterday, I did not know that either of these semi-automatics existed.

Robert,
It looks like the original '47 Frigidaire had a perforated tub... is that true? So it must have had an outer tub, which in turn would have meant no overflow rinsing... ?
Cool that the peforated inner tub is hydrodynamically shaped to encourage maximum roll-over. Makes a lot of sense!

Sorry, forgot to link. It is in "Member Collections" on the home page.

Hi Rich, no it was a perforated liner around the solid tub. But Frigidaire washers didn't start overflow rinsing until 1952.
Later on in the week when I have more time I will start a new thread about the '47 Frigidaire with some good pictures. Its a very different and primitive machine than later Unimatics.

"it was a perforated liner around the solid tub"
Sounds kind of like this turned the solid tub into an outer tub for a perforated inner tub... or liner... or whatever. Except I guess the whole thing dumped into the outer cabinet during spins. Weird!
