My parents bought a new house in 1947 with a Bendix front load
"builder installed." I recall that it was bolted to the floor in a
corner of the kitchen, and when it went into its wringer cycle at the
end it shook the room -- that's why it was bolted to the floor I
guess. My mother loved it; her first automatic washing machine.
