So Glad you're safe

Launderess
Every time I see your posts and your photo (of Hyacinth) I can hear Hyacinth's voice as I read the words. It's very comforting and reassuring during these crazy times.

Bless you,

Westinghouse heavily promoted their claims that Laundromat washers excelled at removing dirt from wash, and keeping it away.

Another early commercial with Betty Furness who by the way hadn't yet mastered her in front of camera skills. Watch her keep stealing side eye glances (cue cards?), and missing prompt on when to hit her marks.

Yes, suds container is used

To describe washing machine tubs, at least in Europe and other parts of world.

Miele refers to "suds container" when speaking of their washing machine drums all the time.

It is what the thing does; hold (contain) sudsy water.

Must be a literal translation from the German.

To me, "suds container" sounds like a bottle of soap bubble solution.

In that solid tub washer during the spin cycle I'm trying to picture how the water drains out as freely as a tub with holes in it.. In a regular tub with holes the clothes are being pressed by force against the drum walls and some, much? of the water is being forced through those holes as well by centrifugal force.. But on a solid tub surface isn't it going to take longer for the water to make its way to the bottom of the tub, passing through all the clothes to exit through the holes on the tub floor?

You're referring to the Sharp "No Holes" linked above?

There are no holes in the bottom of the spin tub.  Water exits over the top for spin.  Same as all other "classic" solid-tub machines such as Speed Queen, Frigidaire Unimatic, Hotpoint, etc.
