The history of the washing machine
This video is about how the modern washing machine appeared. First was the scrub board, invented in 1797. American James King patented the first washing machine to use a drum in 1851. In 1858, Hamilton Smith patented the first rotary washing machine. Less than 20 years later, in 1874, William Blackstone built the first washing machine designed for convenient use in the home.
The first completely electric-powered washing machine was named "The Thor", invented by Alva J. Fisher, and introduced in 1908 by the Hurley Machine Company of Chicago, Illinois. Bendix Corporation introduced the first domestic automatic washing machine in 1937, having applied for a patent in the same year. In 1978, the first microchip-controlled automatic washing machines were produced.

You forgot something fundamentally important. In 1963 I think it was a type of clothes wash and wear, permanent press,drip dry were invented. Wash in a washer with special cycles, dry in a dryer with special cycle and hang up as soon as dryer done. No wrinkles no ironing. Makes laundry much easier.
It's great just to watch something like this, very informative
The last one is not saving water if it is full of plastic bits.
Motor speed can be controlled *Electrolickly* My new favorite quote hehe :D
Amazing job man
Anybody else watch your laundry spin and wonder where it started???
Great
Good stuff.

Yeah. Beating the water out, then I imagine they would hang them up to dry.
