Nice dishwasher, all of the applianes in that house look new! The DW rack system looks nearly identical to the basket case top loading 1949 GE DW I found a few months ago with the 1948 Servel fridge. BTW - I'm going to part the DW - I have all racks and the motor (condition unknown) if anyone is interested.

I just checked the motor and it is full of water and frozen up - so its no good. The racks need cleaning but are all there.
Double washes led to the need for a closed two-cup detergent
IIRC Hotpoint was one of the first (if not THE first) to do
W-W-R-R, which helped its performance immensely.

Note the metal baffle in the left front corner of the lower rack. With the silverware basket there, plates could not go in that corner and the impeller rotates counter-clockwise. I wonder if the baffle was needed to keep water from being forced out between the door and tank. I think I remember that the one I have would leak a bit if the machine was operated without the silverware basket in place.
The black ring in the center of the rack with the wire circle above it held the silverware cup in GE DWs. The "teeth" or square ridges on the inside of the circle formed the wash evenizer which kept a steady but diffused shower of water going upward in all 360 degrees of the spray pattern.

Impeller
The impeller is the black plastic fan-blade-shaped item in the bottom-center of the tub, under the bottom rack.

Detergent Dispenser
Nice pictures! Are the dispenser cups bigger or smaller than what you would typically find on a present day dishwasher?

Smaller. They seem to hold maybe 1 to 1.5 Tbsp.
