A neighbor had the L110. Greg briefly had a WD3 for the 2005 wash-in. Jetcone I believe has a matchin set of the L110 . D110. I kinda remember comments that the auto dry button still overbaked the laundry and there wasn't a cooldown period. mr. Jetcone, what say you?

Thanks for posting these.

When I was growing up, we had a neighbor who probably had the first automatic washer( and the first telephone in our rural area)in our area. When my mom and I would visit this neighbor (or to use her phone), I would just sit and watch the clothes being washed through the picture window; just like watching a TV. I seem to remember it had a chime that would go off, am I correct?

 

[appnut]

The dryer would have the chime. I don't remember our neighbor's washer having a chime.

Didn't the chime play "How Dry I Am"? A vague memory from the shadows of my childhood.

The control panel on those Westinghouse machines are the best in that series.
Love that design thanks for posting.

No problem. It's been a long time since I've been on here , and I finally took some good shots of the brochure on my digital camera. I'm glad you allliked them. And yea...I wish there were more control shots of the rest of the line too.

I noticed that there weren't many ads for the 1958 Westinghouse washers unless I'm missing something. I've checked NUMEROUS periodicals from late 1957 thru 1958 and mostly they were trumpeting the Spacemates. In 1959 tho they did quite a few of the Program Computer models, of which I took my screename.....
