And the Special Window Models
I think most Manufacturers made these models too.
I know Fedders did.

I have a 1986 Carrier in my basement with the old R-22. Was very ice cold and still is. I have up graded to a newer one and not as cold as the old R-22 units.

The only casement window units I ever ran into were Chrysler Airtemp models. Airtemp air conditioning be it in a car or a house was some of the coldest air around! When did Chrysler drop Airtemp A/C?

Not Sure
I want to say Chrysler did away with Airtemp Division around the Mid to late 80s. I remember around 1991-2 I went to a woman's house to do some edging and weeding and she had a Brand New Airtemp in the Window. It was missing the Chrysler "Star" and Airtemp Logo. When I looked at it,the unit resembled Carrier which was made in Mexico. Even Carrier in the Mid 80s was having their Window Units in Mexico.
That my friends I think when things started going down the Crapper for Quality Built USA made Products.

I love window units
If you are talking about the units that would fit through a single pane of the usual casement window, they were marketed under several brands, but I don't know who made many of them. We had a Frigidaire in the studio apt dad had finished in the basement for my brother and me. It pulled the air in from the front and discharged it on the top as did a WP unit that Jeff had and I would guess that they had a common source. It was the standard 6,000 BTU for that model and it kept the whole basement cool and dehumidified. GE and Fedders had the intake on both sides with the discharge on the front and their units were unique enough that they probably made them. I think that the GE's outer cabinet was a little too big to fit through our casement openings so we got the Frigidaire. I think I paid for it with my paper route money. I found it at a Davison's warehouse sale for $99, a big savings. Davison Paxon Co. in Atlanta was owned by Macy's even in 1912 when the Titanic sank and took Mr. and Mrs. Isador Strauss, Macy's owners, down with it.

When I was a kid we had a mid-'60s model Whirlpool A/C. The style was different from what is pictured above. It had four knobs in a row underneath the air outlet, which ran the width of the unit across the top. One knob selected HI COOL/LOW COOL/FAN/OFF. The second was the thermostat. The third knob operated the air exchange dampers, and the fourth one directed the air outlet's vertical louvers left or right. The model that was the next one up from that model had motorized oscillating louvers. My recollection is that it had a squirrel-cage blower and it sounded like a hurricane on the high fan speed.

whirlpool A/Cs
I have a few whirlpool ACs;
'69 i grabbed at the dump in 1983 and fixed-it had an"inside-
out"delco motor with a shorted winding,replaced that with a
different salvaged motor-had to remount the condenser fwd
about 4"
(4)small 5000 btu units-'74,'76,'80,'92
'84-8500btu IIRC
'92-8500btu IIRC,almost the same as the '84 which is almost
the same as a '72...
also have quite a few other ACs,a special fave is a big 220v
GE from around 1958;very heavy it has a huge,low speed,4-pole
compressor and the 3 louvers that can be turned to direct the
air.It's a little beat up and pulls some amps,but man does it
run nice(and puts out the cold!!)
