Working my poor fingers and scanner to the bone over the past two years I have now finished working on my 1000th scanned document for the Ephemera Library!
Fred asked me what my 1000th document would be last week and I had to think about that for a few days. I decided to scan the earliest piece of Frigidare washer documentation, printed by General Motors, that I have found to date. It's a handy reference guide to the very first Frigidaire washer in order to "Keep It Ticking!".
The document is so old that I believe the washer on the cover might be a pre-war/pre-production model as it has the toe indentation at the bottom front of the cabinet, not found in actual marketed post-war models as far as I can tell. Images show the earliest design of tub and pulsator mounting parts, some of which were changed and modified within a year or two to the more common Unimatic parts used through the 1950's.
Now onto my 1001th!
