made to test the general usefulness
of the utensil. 1t was found that
the Model acted as should any we'll
behaved roaster-it turned out a
roast rare in the center, we'll cooked
on the outside and moist, slightly
brown, but not crisp, due%o the self
basting and the fact that the cover
was on during the entire process.
In this case two-and-a-half-
pound piece of beef in the covered
roaster was put into the oven, which
had been pre-heated to 500 degrees
and allowed to stay at that tempera
ture for about ten minutes. The
heat regulator on the range was
turned to $50 degrees and the roast
allowed to remain in the oven, COW
cred, for thirty-five minutes. At the
end OF twenty minutes it was brown
ing all over, and especially on. the
edges of the fat; at the, end of the
total time, as described above, it was
rare in the center, slightly brown all
over, moist and not crisp.
A triple comparative experiment
was then conducted to show the re-
suits of roasting meat in an open
pan in an ordinary gas range oven.
an oven which received it's heat an
diverted heat from the side-burners
on top, and in covered pan (usinr
the roaster under test).
1t was found that there was less
moisture lost with the covered
roaster than with either of the other
methods. The figures showed that
about Is per cent of the total
weight was lost in the open pan
method in the direct-heat oven, 10
per cent was lost with the open pan
and indirect heat, and only z per

uble dirt deposited by the wash wa
ter. For final draining of the pump
pipe cock is provided at the bottom
OF the pump casing. This may be
opened and the dregs drained off,
about cupful only.
1t was found by measurement that
the pump forces ten gallons of water
minute up through the bent nic2.-
eled pipe. 1t is emptied at the same
rate, the seventeen gallons which the
washer holds being drained out in
IL minutes.
A six-foot piece of rubber hose is
provided to fill or drain the machine.
When filling the machine the hose is
attached to a sink faucet and the
water rises quietly in the bottom of
the machine. Swivel connections at
both Of it's ends make it possible to
New-York tribune., 1921-12-04

attach it to any hot water faucet
and fill the bowl by simply turning
on the water and turning the two
way valve handle at the base upright.
While the faucet end of this hose
is not in use it may be attached to a
dummy threaded holder just below
the rolled edge Of the bowl. This
dummy holds it out of the way and
does not allow the small amount of
water still in the hose to run on to
the floor.
Washing Tests
The capacity of this machine is
about eight pounds. To secure the
smoothest flowing and easiest han
died mass, slowly add the pieces one
at a time to the swirling soapsuds in
the bowl. For the Institutes wash
ing experiments three and one-half

stream from this pipe which should
enter the water about half an inch
below the surface when the wash
ing is in process, by its impact, and
because it is striking one side con-
tinually, it gives the entire mass of
clothes swirling motion. AS the
clothes are carried down and over
the metal shield, through which the
water is withdrawn by the pump
they arc subjected to a suction here
which also helps to work the dirt
loose.
Into the mouth Of the pump intake
wide funnel is slipped. 1t stands
one and quarter inches above the
we'll bottom and increases the eff
cheney of the circulating system by
guiding the water and by trapping

ROASTER by another name

AZ
~ might roast as we'll, but GER
tain unique qualifications of
the Model Roaster just tested in the
Institute laboratories recommend it
especially to the housewives forum.
In shape, size and general con-
struction it is built for sanitary and
practical usage. 1t is we'll enameled
on pressed steel and very durable,
the only criticism being that it's dark
blue color might conceal stains that
light gray or white roaster would
reveal.
Unique Edge
The roaster's most unique feature
is the pans "cuff"-the upper edge
is turned outward and downward on
itself to a distance of quarter of
an inch below the pans bottom. This
edge supports the pan, the bottom of
which does not touch the oven rack,
and it may be set in the oven or on
the stove top without the danger of
scorching which attends the use of
utensil resting directly on the hot
surface. The layer Of air between
this cuff and the sides and between
the stove and the bottom tends to
distribute the heat more evenly over
the roaster.
The edge Of the cuff is rolled and
the construction of the pan is suffi-
GENTLY rigid to keep it from warp
ing and rocking on it's support.
The cover edge is grooved out
ward and downward for half an
inch, SO that it sets down in the pan
and cannot slide OFF. When it is in
place there is space six inches
high between the pans bottom and
the covers top plenty Of room for

out after tho clothes are clean, and
then turn on the clear water for
rinsing without going to the trouble
Of first wringing out the clothes.
At least two rinse waters will then
be necessary before the bluing is
added. When the water is in mo-
ton and covering the clothes again
a weak solution of bluing may be
added, being careful to pour it in
at the same side of the tub that
the pumped water enters, SO that it
will be we'll mixed and not spot the
New-York tribune., 1921-12-04

large roast or a chicken. Due to
the flatness of the top, the moisture
condenses there and drops back
onto the roast, thus making it self
basting.
Testing the Enamel
To discover whether or not the
enamel was durable or liable to
crack and peel off, the engineer put
this utensil through severe tests. A
cup1ul of water was put in the roast
er and allowed to boil away over a
gas burner. After the water had
disappeared the pan was allowed to
remain over the intense heat of the
burner flame for four minutes.
When the pan had cooled the en-
amel at the middle of the bottom
was found to be wrinkled slightly.
but not cracked. 1t had stretched
with the steel, but had been
stretched beyond it's elastic limit
SO that it would not smooth out
after the steel had contracted to it's
original state.
The same test was repeated. leav-
ing the dry pan over the flame for
eight minutes, and no additional bad
results were discovered.
A third tast, much NOR, severe
than either Of Che first two, was
then tried. This time the water was
allowed to boil away, and, after the
pan bottom had reached nearly a red
heat, a quarter Of a cupful of cold
water was thrown on it. The strains
OF contraction are so suddenly ap-
pied by this treatment that anv
osher than we'll enameled surface
would scale off Immediately. The
enamel in the test did not crack.

ing pan method.
The cost of the roaster is reason
able, considering the prices of many
Of the modern kitchen utensils, and
it requires less time and less per-
sonal attention than roasting with
an open pan-nor does it necessitate
cleaning the oven afterward.

Care must be taken that the lever
controlling the two-way ~alve il up
when filling or emrtying the tub
and is down during the washing proc
ess. Beware Of having the lever
up in the washing process! A
splash party would result, with
water spouting in every direction
from the loosened rubber hose.
Using two motors instead of one,
as is the usual case, would natural
" lead you to believe that the cleo
trical bill would be larger. 1t is
interesting to note, however, that
the cost of operation is not any
higher than the average for other
machines, the Lombard using slight
~ less power for the washing opera
ton alone and practically the same
amount as other machines for the
washing and wringing operations
combined. Tub and wringer to-
gether use about 400 watts, which
at the 10-cent rate for electricity.
would mean 4 cents an hour. This
cost is estimated for both wringer
and tub motors running together
for an hour. AS a matter Of fact,
the tub would be used more than
the wringer. The cost for washing
two runs, rinsing and wringing
would be slightly less than cents,
as an entire hour would not be re-
quired. At the 7-cent rate, the cost
would be approximately cents.
Wringer Attached to Tub
The switches which control the
wringer and washer motors are
clearly marked and operated by a
push button. The wringer, which
is mounted on the side of the bowl,
may be fastened in any one Of four
different positions and is Of SUBJ
stantial construction in every de-
tail. A rigid two-way zinc drain
board with raised sides and rounded
edges is easily lifted and pushed
from one side of the wringer to the
other. The rollers are 1O% inches
wide and give excellent pressure
because of their strong springs.
The wringer speed is little slow,
but not too slow to interfere with
efficient use of the machine. There
is no danger Of blowing fuses by
starting with the wringer clutch in,
but in case it becomes jammed the
stalled motor takes 1900 watts,
which will blow the ordinary lighting
fuse in hurry.
In operating the washer it is quite
unnecessary to walk from one side
of the machine to the other to start
VI CIOP tllC Qlll CICllU COIltIVl
switches, for they are all conven-
iently located near each other-the
two switch buttons, the four-inch
wringer control lever and the but
ton end of the spring lock, which
holds the wringer in any of it's four
operating positions-are all within
a ten-inch radius.
Due to the excellent ball-bearing
rollers the washer is unusually easy
to move about the floor, the effort
required being actually half that of
many other machines.

Filling and Emptying

Besides the wringer, crooked over
the edge of the bowl is piece of
highly nickeled steel pipe. On this
pipe depends the important part of
the washing process, for the force
of the water pumped through it
keeps the clothes in motion. Be-
meath this bowl in the small we'll
previously mentioned is the CEN
trifugal pump which draws the
water from the bottom of the bowl
and forces it up through the pipe
and into the bowl again. The

Unique Use of Two Motors

The washing pump and the shaft
which drives the wringer are oper-
ated Independently, two one-fourth
horsepower motors being used. One
is directly connected with CEN
trifugal pump below the bowl and
the other is shown at the upper edge
of the tub connected with the
wringer.
Rectangular openings are left on
four sides of the base pedestal.
Through one of these one motor con-
meets with the circulating pump.
Through another the vent from the
pump extends to the two-way valve
which controls the filling and the
emptying. For the water coming

ounces Of soap flakes were used and
three different loads run through. In
each load cloth impregnated with
burnt umber was included as test
Of the machines powers with this
type of greasy "heavy dirt"
In both the first and second washes
there was an assortment of towels,
busters, sheets and odd pieces. The
soiled pieces were satisfactorily
washed in fifteen minutes, but the
burnt umber cloth was not thorough
(ly clean. The conclusion was reached
that the action of the washer is gem
tie but effective (not much wear on
the clothes), but for washing a
heavy, greasy type Of dirt much
longer time would be required.
In the third washing the same
amount Of soap flakes was used and
an 8-pound load of clothes, consist
ing of two sheets, some very badly
soiled dust cloths, two blackened
dust mcps, shirtwaist with soiled
cuff bands and small odd pieces. The
collection represented some of the
most difficult specimens of soiled
clothing that washing machines are
called upon to handle.
After a fifteen minutes run, even
the worst soiled of these pieces was
clean, which is average time for sue
cessful washing. The clothes had
been soaked for three hours in luke
warm water, then put into the wash
water at temperature of 140 de-
grees. This temperature lowered
slightly after they were added, so
that the washing continued at about
130 degrees. This was considered
very successful test from the stand
point Of handling unusually soiled
clothes.
Special Operations
If in the process of washing, the
clothes stop tumbling and moving
easily around in the bowl, it is a
fairly certain indication that the
load is too heavy. In such a case
remove few pieces and hold them
for the next load, unless you can
use the clothes stick to start the
motion again.
If one wishes to do small wash
ing which will Rot nearly fill the
bowl, there is an extension of nickled
piping to be fitted over the nozzle
which introduces the water, thus
bringing the force of the stream
close to the load in the bottom and
under the lowered surface, as is
always necessary.
The clothes do not tangle and are
readily inspected as they undergo
washing.

der the sun" and in the
conservative but important
Group Of household machinery known
as ~ashinx nachinesl New in shape,
size, method Of operation and in prac-
tically every detail of its unusual
construction - the Lombard White
washer is a complete departure from
previous designs and materials.
Imagine giant egg-cup, rising to
a height of 3SA inches with the upper
part measuring 81 inches across and
the base "a inches wide. Instead Of
delicate china, the 20-inch egg-cup
is built of cast iron, heavily coated
with hard finished white bathtub en-
amel on the inside and painted blue
gray on the outside. The bowl is 20
inches deep and rounds down to we'll
IL inches across and inches deep.
Into the top of this we'll, forming the
bottom OF the bowl, is set a perfor-
ated, non-rusting metal shield which
conforms to the shape Of the bowl.
Over this shield the clothes slide as
they are tunbled by the washing
process, and through it's perfora-
tions pump below it draws water
from the bowl
There is no oscillating or revolv-
ing cylinder, no reversing gear mech
anism-and so there is no noise of
machinery during the entire washing
and wringing process. The low hum
of the two motors is almost dimmed
by the soft swish of the water.
The amount of machinery is re-
duced to minimum. The bowl and
base are cast in two pieces; no wood
is used except in the wringer and
the gear housings are of cast iron
painted blue to match the bowls ex-
terror.
