Today’s picture of the day, Bendix hi Speed duomatic

[combo52]

This is around a 1961 model we have the electric version of this in our warehouse.

The electric version probably takes a little bit longer than the gas version in the ad to dry clothing.

This was one of the most advanced compact combo sold. It was the only one that had a reservoir dispenser for fabric softener, and bleach

The 1960 Lady Kenmore washer used the same controls corporation technology for the dispenser system on the Kenmore washer. However, they just did fabric softener and liquid detergent, wisely whirlpool, did not try to store liquid bleach in a machine which could lead to terrible corrosion problems

Fortunately, our 61 duomatic, it does not look like anyone ever use the bleach dispenser.

Bendix combo

The larger UK Bendix combos from the 1960s to 70s look the same size . This is the LTA one of the last machines of its type to be made in the UK .
