Sorry Louis I have overseen that you had already explained "Düse".
Thanks for posting the picture ! Sure brings back memories.
The inside of the Viking looks like the one my Grandma had, but it was just a tub washer, she had a seperate spindryer.
The thing on the left side of the tub creates three powerful jets of water and it turns the laundry constantly around if not overloaded. According to my Grandma it washed very thoroughly and gently. Unfortunately I have never seen it in action because the drain hose was brittle and leaking so she couldn`t use it anymore in the 1970s, when I was a child and developed my interest for washers. The recirculation motor was enormous in size and it also served as a constant drain pump. The drain hose was only shut with a valve at the endpoint. But it still sat for ages in the cellar.
