Fantastic thread and photos guys!

Nice to see a manufacturer with obvious pride in and respect for their own history. A shame that other manufacturers dont have their own museums and exhibitions (Miele excepted).

A really interesting read.
Cheers

IT'S: "Zug Alors!" instead of "Zut"

This is both fascinating and enlightening, like discovering the washers deep into the Black Forest, or hiding in the cottages of Grimm's Fairy Tales, the fantasy-like look and variety of these old and new machines. Thank you, Louis. I was most struck at how #23's controls--the Zug Semi--look like those on my mother's furnace. Amazing.

And those timers and dials, so unique they resist classification. What a great show!

How like a Maytag, in tub and Agitator, the Wringer model is.
 
Schwingen

Schwingen is most likely the Swiss German equivalent of the High German "Schleudern" which is "spin" in the Anglo-Saxon tongue.

It appears the city of Zug wants to give Maria a new washer because hers uses too much electricity...lol. How sweet!
 
Not only Zug and Miele have a museum, but Schulthess seems to have one too. And that are only the nes we know about. There might be more.

I thought this thread wouldn't be complete with a picture of the modern Unimatic, the Zug Unimatic T. I noticed in the specifications that this model draws "only" 4900 Watts.
