It was in 1974 when Kenmore's Pre-Soak cycles were reduced from 30 to 22 minutes, thus adding the extra two-minute timer notch for the drain periods.
The soak time reduction wouldn't be the reason for increasing drain time, just to make use of the additional 8 mins of available timer increments ... the soak time reduction reasonably would be by necessity because of the increased drain time for 18lb machines.

What I meant was that the soak time reduction was an effect of the drain time expansion.
