philco machines
The philco range were sold ore in the UK under the bendix name, similar looking but the bendix had the square door surround on them. They were fantastic machines, with the criss cross wash action wich washed in a figure of 8, back to front and side to side. The rex machines were the same as the zanussi washers over here. Supataps were introduced in 1970 as mum and dad bought a new wimpey built house and it came with supataps on the kitchen sink. They were like tall stems with the taps facing down on the end, they had little ear type nodules for gripping the tap to turn it. Mum had an indesit L5 washer, and she used a tap adapter on the supataps before it was permanently plumbed in. I think it had chains on it to secure it round the tap.
