Errata list for “Save Womens Lives—History of Washing Machines”

Pg. 17  Fig 3.4 should have title “ca 1911 Thor Electric”

Pg. 35  Change “Pecolator” to Percolator in the category title.

Pg. 35  Under the Pumped Water category it should be stated that the museum does contain a machine of the pumped water type.  See ID657 on the web site.  This machine, in addition to being a roller type squeezer has a pump to circulate the water.

Pg. 41  The last sentence in the first paragraph (Fred became interested in washing machines and the company produced its first washer, the Pastime, in 1907.) is wrong.

The myths and facts surrounding the Pastime require much more detailed discussion to be found in the articles section on the oldewash.com internet site.

Pg. 50   2^nd line right column should read “visited the museum in 1997” instead of “about 4 years ago.”

Pg. 92 left column line 6  change “know” to known”

Pg. 99 2^nd paragraph should be “July/August issue of Reminisce Magazine”
