My 1963 Whirlpool Imperial Mark XII does 4 6 spray rinses after the first wash and another 4 after the rinse. So far I’ve been happy with the wash and rinse performance on my ‘63 Whirlpool but it seems like it doesn’t seem to rinse like it did when I first got it back in July and that more than likely has to do with the fact I put a larger pulley on to the transmission and the clutch and belt adjustments seem to be a little out of wack and that’s not the machines fault but more of a error on my behalf. Since I located the correct size of pulley, it should have the same wash and rinse performance like it did when I first got it.

@Laundress: Thank you so much! I've been time strapped but I'm following and reading your links.
Spin drain is better, none of those gunk lines marking the machines water level.

IMHO where you really notice difference between H-axis washers and top loaders is dark items.
Properly loaded (no mixing whites or lights, lint givers with those that take it on), darks done in an H-axis washer emerge with far less lint and gunk than top loaders of any sort. This includes the latter with spray rinses, spin drain, neutral drain and whatever else they've got.
Did a load of darks once when had WP portable/convertible, and it made a dog's dinner of things. So much lint and gunk that even a trip through dryer couldn't remove it all.
Oddly enough other method of getting nearly gunk free darks is washing by hand in a tub, using Hoover TT or Maytag wringer. Think this has something to do with fact laundry is lifted out of muck laden water for extraction. This rather than it acting as a strainer when water is pulled though via spin.
