Launderall Automatic Washer Service Manual


Published by Launderall in 1948-- Now this is a rare manual not to mention a rare washer. It is the service manual to the Jacobs Launderall Washer. This machine was the first and one of the few Horizontal Access Top Loading washers made in the USA. It was a bolt down machine and like Blackstone washers it the timer was a mechanical system built into the transmission. This manual is very comprehensive with specifications, cycle charts, complete descriptions of how the machine works and how to service it.
