Fantastic collection

Hi Leon,

I just loved seeing pics of some of the machines I saw operating in the 1960's. By the age of 5 I was fascinated in washing machines and my mother's first was a Westinghouse wringer with a cast aluminium agitator. My close school friend's family bought the Simpson in Photo 1 in the late 1950's. It was the first automatic machine I have ever watched (apart from a Bendix front loader next door. Later my mother upgraded to the Whirlpool the same as your 1962 model but she bought it in 1964. Then in 1972 when they moved house she bought a Simpson fluid drive that had the same blue panel as your 1966 model but the interior of the 1968 model so they must have kept the models going for a long time. She had that for more than 25 years and servicemen always said they were the best machines made.

Thanks for igniting my memories. I look forward to seeing videos when you get the time to make them.

best wishes,

Greg
