Up perusing the aw.org pages and found your collection
HOLY !@#$ what a great collection - I really enjoyed looking at these. It's simply just amazing what was previously made years ago. I really didn't realize these integrated sinks and dishwashers existed and with so much variety...long ago, when I was just getting up and running.
Thank you for sharing these in photos

Mike, Is your GE electric sink new enough to have the Calrod element in it? In the last couple of years before the switch to the roll out design, they began to use the heater.
Due to age and blessings, I have seen and watched the operation of every one of the dishwashers pictured after your 49 electric sink. The APEX and the and the HOMART were free standing models.

Tom, and others,
GE introduced the Calrod beginning with the 1950 Dishwasher model. The AE746/BE746/DE746 (1946 model year) and AE748/BE748/DE748 (1948 model year) models did not have the Calrod. Models beginning AE1/BE1/SE1/UC1/SU/SS1 and perhaps other model names, were produced in 1950 or after. They all had the Calrod. Simultaneously, in 1950, GE also introduced the drying cycle, which lasted about 20 minutes. The 746 and 748 models had a 10.5 minute cycle (5 minute wash, and two 2 minute rinses), then the lid popped open and the cycle ended, dishes air dried. Beginning in 1950, at the end of the approximate 10.5 minute wash/rinse cycle, the lid was popped open, but the motor continued to run, with the impeller acting as a fan. My collection includes models both before and after 1950; so some have and some don't have Calrods.
I don't know this for certain, but looking at all of the Hotpoint impellers which have the two extra flat fins, positioned in between the swirl fins, I believe Hotpoint always had a drying cycle. So did the Homart, Apex, Crosley, and others?
