lack of a middle and a top spray arm.
There is a pop-up tower for washing the upper rack just like on every other GE dishwasher or this era as well as a power-shower (small sprayt arm) on the top of the tub that showers over the tops of glassware and such in the top rack. The 4th levfel of the Thoro-wash was the silver showser individual spray arm at the bottom of the tub for the silverware basket. Combo52 can discuss why this dishwasher did not was very good at all despite a 4-level wash system.

Just what eveyone needs in a top rack is more room for plates that should go on the lower rack except there was so much space between the pins that lower rack capacity was reduced. Of course, with no filter there was a lot of food soil flying around so you did not want to give it narrow places to lodge. We often wondered why CU never noted the advantage of having a wash arm under the upper rack, but then they never loaded dishwashers the way most people do with prep bowls & pans. If they had blocked the lower rack of most dishwashers with bowls and pans, very few machines would have washed items in the top rack. Exceptions have to be noted for the upside down racking Maytags. Whirlpool and some D&M models would have been among the few before the 18 series KA machines that would have been able to do any washing in the top rack with items like bowls in the lower rack blocking water to the top rack.
Thanks for the explanation/replies...
One cannot say that there are four wash arms from the picture so I just wondered. These tower spray things I believe performed not that well anyway. In German DWs of the 70ies and 80ies the upper arm was like a funnel and the performance was depending on the water pressure. Nowadays they all have their own valve.
