The Keyplate store....
Hey Philip
It literally is a store for the Keyplate that isnt in use- the machine has 16 programmes, 8 on each Keyplate but only 1 programme and therefore 1 Keyplate is used at once so its a blank storage slot for the unused one.

Keyplates
here`s a selection Philip, the idea was that future fabrics could have a corresponding programme made and a new keyplate produced!!
It didnt work in theory as most of the seven keymatics all have different readers and so the keyplates arnt as interchangable as we would like them to be!!

Keyplates
The first models where heavy bakelite, the later ones where thinner, flatter & a lot lighter, and only later models had the STORE facility

Favourite Keyplate
For me the special one is the "BLACK" one, which has been reserved for Seamus`s fine example!!! and teamed with the orange looks superb!!!...or should it be with the white one???

Hey Mike
Id have to agree it is rather smart- and goes with the Orange one nicely
.
When Kelly (Matts idea !!) is next plumbed in im gonna have to try the Man Made Fibre Blankets programme- im guessing is high level wash poss with prewash.....
I phoned Mathew earlier and he was able to answer a query I had on her operation lol.

Man-made Fibre Blankets programme.
Is this not 'Delicates @ 40°C', by another name?

Blankets/Something to ponder.....
Hi Rolls
The blanket programme is indeed the same as the delicates, but has a prewash added......
The thing to ponder is why Hoover went back to the Timeline indicator for both this and the A3114 considering all other Keymatics/Selectamatics from the 1st Matchbox onwards have seperate coloured lights for the different stages??

Reverting Back...
I wonder how plausible it would be for them to be using up old stock of the timeline setups for these. After seeing the pics of the inside of the machine, the timeline is a strange setup indeed. I really wish Hoover would have at least sold one series of FL autos here in the states. I amazed that they didn't even try to. Just the twinnie are the only shared models and they became very different in 1970 than the rest of the world.

Hope your getting on well with it Seamus,

woollens programme
Hi Seamus,
so happy that you are enjoying this great machine, I just woundered if you have used the wollens programme yet, as it occured to me that the final spin on the selectamatic, differs in that instead of 2 mins 500 then 2 mins 800 as with every other electronic 1100 I've used, it misses out the 500 and goes straight for the 2 mins at 800rpm, this gives a great stream of water down the door rarely seen on the 1100 machines, I just wondered if the keymatic did the same.
Well keep enjoying the machine and all the best for the bearing change as and when.
