message: "In 1937, at a Louisiana state fair, Bendix Corporation introduced the first automatic washer that washed, rinsed and extracted water from garments in one process." Is this statement true?
I work for what once was a division of The Bendix Corporation. I've been able to find no one that can support the claim that The Bendix Corporation actually made washing machines. The stories told locally are that the company licensed their name to another company that made the machines. Can anyone provide any historical references supporting one story or the other?
My Father worked for Bendix 1953-72. He more than once said Bendix of Mishawaka had nothing to do with the washing machines.  The washing machines were junk and the name dogged the company for years.
Another was that the company's first product was a spring which went inside GM's starter solenoid. It had the Bendix name on it and eventually the entire assembly became known as "The Bendix".  PM --Turnbull FL (talk) 14:34, 31 December 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: A starter drive with an overrun clutch, for engaging and disengaging the electric starter and the engine flywheel is indeed commonly called a 'bendix' (lowercase) since the early days of American automobiles.  I have no source to cite, but it should be in the article, including your info concerning the spring.  I doubt if this usage is common overseas, but it is certainly notable in the States.

The Bendix Family:
The Bendix family are most famously located in the greater London Suburb of Shenfield; a small but gentle hamlet which boasts many local ammenities such as Bowling and a small tuck shop.
which seems to have nothing to do with the Bendix Corporation of the article

message: Hey, i was reading through the patents for the Moiré effect light. (link for the patents) https://patents.google.com/patent/US4474430A/en I was scrolling through the patents to find more information on the previous patents and possible creators and purposes of the mark before Inogon. I checked the page, and there was nothing on their possible patent or patent attempt on the mark. Correct me if i'm wrong or this is just a patent attempt. Information is very hard to come by on this subject anyway, so i dont blame you if you cant find anything. Spaghettimaghetti (talk) 19:18, 21 April 2023 (UTC)
