**BANG** you're dead, he once said
Lucky for the cops that the Norge's aren't around any more, what with the gun-shot like bang of the TUB BRAKE, they'd being answering calls all the time now.
Always thought of Iron-man or some other super hero reaching out to stop the Norge in virtual seconds, if not instantaneously.
Is there another machine that brakes so quickly? Wonder if the brake is a huge powerful clamp?
Quick Norge Story
Once a friend lived in a huge complex with 4 units per bldg. You could go from blgd to bldg easily and spy on the machines. To my utter astonishment, I opened my first Norge and saw a small load of dress socks washing at the 2 lb. level. It's for real. First automatic ever witnessed operating at such a low level, and the now well- known speed and power of the tall tower angel wing that spits. This guy was hooked. That, my friends, was the first new machine I ever bought. How I wish I still had it. Circa, late seventies.
Thanks, Greg--like Mike, for me this will be great bedtime reading, except that he is now fast asleep and dreaming.

How cool and fitting the all powerful Borg were named after one of our club's most favorite washing machines.
