Hope you enjoy

Those were great, thanks. This is different from the way we used to use a Hoover twin-tub, we added the clothes with the pulsator running so it was easier to judge when it was filled properly. As long as the load kept moving, it was ok. I can still remember thinking how cool it was to hear that pulsator disc scrubbing those fabrics.
I'm not having it
All these posh housewives in high heels, girdles, jewelry, and more slap on their faces than an East End scrubber all doing housework. Decked out in their best frocks or two-pieces and not a pinny in sight; must have been the cleaner's afternoon off I shouldn't wonder.

The suburbs
Argghhh these films are just magic to watch

Frigidaire Killer Heels..
Mike, did the Frigidaire Master Twin happen to use a pulsator than other twinnie agitation methods? That would have been cool to have a twinnie with an up & down agitator lol.
We've had several fun discussions in the past on how and why British housewives got saddled with twin-tub washers post WWII. This while her sisters in the USA were moving away from semi-automatic washers (mostly wringers) to fully automated machines.
They would have been better off going to the local wash house. *LOL*

Hi Bob,
The Frigidaire Mastertwin uses an impellor(spinning disc)on the base of the wash tub, not the best of washing actions as everything tangles !!
I have one of these machines in my collection.
