Semi vs Fully Automatic Washing Machines
Twin tub washer/extractors made a nice step-up if you will from using a wringer washer (or worse doing the lot by hand), but it still involved Madame or whomever was doing the wash to stand around, handle hot, wet and often soapy laundry and all the other "joys" that made washday so wonderful. OTHO automatic washing machines allowed one to set, forget and get on with other things.
Where semi-automatics excel is in water,water and time resources. The ability to reuse wash and or rinse water would be a blessing to those whose supplies of hot water were limited for any reason.

I'm kind of fascinated and curious to see one of these E
Kelly, you definitely need a spanking ;->
Ralph those are great scans, and here's a vid of my first Easy, half way through the movie, showing the spray rinse up close and very personal since I put my arm down along the cone. I was younger then and crazy (er). Forgive the Maytag and Whirlpool interruptions.

Interesting clip. I do like that spinner clutch system. It gets up to speed almost instantly. I'd like to see the whole process documented sometime.
I'm guessing your machine is a later model than my mom's or Pete's, but it doesn't have the hinged spinner lid so I'm not so sure. I didn't realize there were so many gaps in the history of Easy models.

Just parked the bycicle and here you are. Love it when that
Yes, it's a later model, mid to late 60's, I think. Revs right up to 900 rpms in seconds. Glad you enjoyed it.
So many gaps Ralph, and so many mysteries, so we have a nice goal ahead of us over the coming years.

Notice that your scan, Reply #20
shows the true shape of the spray rinse cone, much wider at the buttom, while my photo and video fail to capture its true width. Always wanted people to see it, so thank you, Ralph , because that it one of the secrets of the great rinsing this machine is capable of. This is an example of the "Precision Engineering" Easy claimed to achieve.

I'm glad my documents have provided some help. It's interesting because I just discovered them within the past couple of weeks after thinking the whole stash of product literature my dad had saved was long gone. As other topics appear on the various forums here, I'll provide applicable literature if I have it.

That's grandma's except the pump output was a hose not a 'faucet'. Disc spinner cover w/hole. I don't recall hers having the timer. Might have been BOL or it had one but she didn't use it. I don't recall the spinner hub being hollow.

Hinged spindrier lid
Here's the cover of the owner's manual, and I was clearly mistaken when I advised the washer pictured on the cover is identical to Pete's. It's not, since Pete's has a hinged spin basket cover which I presume is an indicator of a later model.
rp,
The hinged spinner lid, without faucets, is indicated in my 1941 owner's manual. So, this appears to be the earlier version.

Pete, yeah, when I watched the clip of the 60's Easy without the hinged lid it occurred to me that yours is likely an earlier model than 1949. Thanks for confirming.
I guess the spigots were added for a more refined look in a kitchen environment.
I still don't get what part of the spin rinse is "automatic" as they claim, since these machines don't do anything without literal hands-on participation by the operator. It seems like a stretch to use the term "automatic" but I suppose the gimmickry sold machines for them, and the system does appear to have advantages over a wringer.

Remember Gregm's green Easy with the 3 piece bell plunger agitator? That one had a really fancy looking hinged spinner, brassy, I think.
Once the faucets came out the hinges vanished. Thereafter, BOL models without faucets had a separate lid for the spinner as well.
