The Maytag Dependability Story - Releases
This is another wonderful and rare piece of history. It was produced to explain the many proceeses involved in producing an automatic washer, dryer and combination washer-dryer utilized at Maytag's Newton, IA factory. This large format book (8.5 x 9) is filled with 20 rare full size photos of the major processes in the factory along with full descriptions of what you are seeing, such as:
[I]Maytag wash baskets must be properly balanced so they will spin smoothly
during the water extraction phase of the cycle.
The balancer, shown in this photograph, will indicate on a dial just where
the additional weights must be added to the balancing ring to provide the
specified smooth spin. No guess work here; every Maytag tub is scientifically
balanced.
MAYTAG DEPENDABILITY means accuracy and precision in every step of the
manufacturing process.[/I]
