Hi everyone, I recently received some documentation and that completely clears us the mystery of who invented and marketed the idea of lint filtering in an Automatic Washer.
As many of us know the “overflow rinse” was first seen in the 1947 in the Beam built AMC-Coronado which was a form of disposing lint by floating it over the top of the wash basket by overfilling its solid wash basket. But let’s talk about actual recirculating lint filters. Before I reveal the source of this information I thought it would be fun to pose these two questions to all of us here in Applianceville.
#1 Who invented and actually marketed the very first recirculation lint filter and what model year did it first show up in the marketplace?
#2 Who invented and actually marketed the very first self-cleaning recirculation style lint filter and what model year did that first show up in the marketplace?
If you are positive you know the exact answers to both of these question wait a few hours before posting your answers to give others a chance. If you think you know and/or would like to take a guess please do, it would be fun to see what people think.
