Supersuds stole my answer 
I keyed in on the 'WEC' too. Wonder if we are correct.

Sorry
thats a big NOPE!
Thank you for your efforts!

If it's Jetcone and NOT a Bendix, then the pope CAN'T be Catholic.
EXCEPT:
Unfamiliar with a Benny capable of 16##, whereas a Whirly Combo could take 16 (guessing, since the tub is huge) and since the Whirly could barely squeeze out Gladys's non-electric blankie/ bed/rug--205 rmps.......hmmmmmmm.
Ya got me!

I thought the Bendix had a 505 RPM high speed spin. So I guess I'll say Bendix.

How about Norge!
Oh this is too much fun..
Should I reveal now this morining or tonight after 5pm???
All sound guesses by the way!
Here's another clue...All the panels come off ...

Guess
The panels look very Bendix

His Master's Voice:
Because of the use of radio tubes, I'm guessing RCA---Whirlpool. Radio tubes, however, were slow to react to commands so I'm wondering how this thing would have worked. I guess Philco could also be a possibility given their prowess with radio and tv technology. Was Bendix owned by Philco at this point?

Quick Cycle
Because of the 28.1 second cycle advance, resulting in a fairly short cycle, and the 16 pound load..
I will say a Commercial Laundry Bendix Front Loader.
Although I don't see a coin box.

That's the first Norge frontloader! The computer was so unreliable that they stopped production within months.

Peter, did they have computers that many years ago?
After I got into bed, I remembered that it was the Bendix that left too much water in Gladys' bed; the Whirly was used for the white load, the better to heat it.
Today, the soap dispenser shouts Bendix.

The whole idea of a Time Delay Relay based on a Vacuum Tube is quite interesting though. I wonder what tube they used, was it a standard radio/tv tube at that time or was it something special made for Bendix -- or whoever ?
How did this circuit work exactly? Was the delay caused by the tube heating up and once it was hot enough (heated by the internal tube heater) it would energize the AC solenoid directly? So would the AC line be wired into the plate side of the tube and the electrons would then be conducted onto the cathode side and into the spin solenoid??? I'm Confused and MUST KNOW! LOL.

Relay tube...
I think that the tube is not an electron tube but merely a housing for a relay switch. In the first picture you can see the switch contacts in the tube. Maybe the delayed switching is caused by heating a bimetallic strip or something similar.

You know, I think you are right Theo, now that I take a second look. I have relays that look like that but are in a square housing. Besides if it were a common vacuum tube the heater has a voltage requirement of 6 or 12 volts depending on the tube type. So that would require a dropping resistor onto the 120volt line to the heater which I don't see mentioned in the text.
Hmmmmm oh Jon.

Oh, never mind. It's probably a V-Zug anyway that was the first electronic one...

I found some info about these relays.
