For a piece of fantasy writing, their description of what happens in the POWER-SPIN-DRAIN ranks up there with the best of creative prevarications. I would say it qualifies as mendacity, a word I first heard uttered as a fist smashed a glass table top and sent a silver coffee service crashing to the ground. The reference is from an old movie, but it sure taught my brother and me the word mendacity.

I don't know about Gibson Washers and 'mendacity'
But I do remember 'mendacity' being uttered by one of the hottest pairs of man-lips in Hollywood when I was only a wee lad.

No-neck little monsters.
What a great movie.

A reflection of how people wanted MAJOR BRANDS in the Laundr
'Mendacity' aside, this Gibson washer (& dryer) was a continuing "genesis" of the WCI snatch-up of first, the Hamilton & Franklin brands, to Kelvinator (American Motors wanted to only build CARS) to Frigidaire (so General Motors could save its car line, or really just concentrate on it) to Westinghouse (though there was nothing wrong w/ the way it was building appliances w/o "White" added, but nothing else "right" about it 'with'), so Gibson's number was called... (While Philco/Ford pretty much disappeared...)

Well...
I actually really loved the metal-basket Kelvinator we had of this design, and I'd love one of these to play with!

Sorry Dave but that is not quite accurate. The reason AMC sold Kelvinator was because of how bad their cars of 1966-67 had done in the market. Thanks to Roy Abernathy ditching the George Romney niche market way of thinking and trying to make AMC part of what he saw as the Big "4", by 1968 AMC was very close to going belly up. AMC decided to sell Kelvinator even though it had always been a money maker, rather than spend the money they knew they would have to invest to keep Kelvinator competitive because they needed cash to keep the automobile part of the company going...PAT COFFEY

When did Gibson quit making washers? I remember seeing one in a dept. store one time when I was a kid and I was impressed. It was so quiet and had all those vanes on the agitator.
