Question: When was the bombing of the place where the country that the first electric washing machine was invented started fighting in ww2?

<P0-S0> bendix home appliances, a subsidiary of avco, an otherwise unrelated company, who licensed the name from bendix corporation, introduced the first domestic automatic washing machine in 1937, having applied for a patent in the same year. <P0-S1> in appearance and mechanical detail, this first machine was not unlike the front loading automatic washers produced today. <P0-S2> although it included many of the today's basic features, the machine lacked any drum suspension and therefore had to be anchored to the floor to prevent ``walking ''. <P0-S3> because of the components required, the machine was also very expensive. <P0-S4> for instance, the bendix home laundry service manual (published november 1, 1946) shows that the drum speed change was facilitated by a 2 - speed gearbox built to a heavy duty standard (not unlike a car automatic gearbox, albeit at a smaller size). <P0-S5> the timer was also probably fairly costly, because miniature electric motors were expensive to produce. <SEP> <P1-S0> During the first two years of World War II, the United States had maintained formal neutrality as made officially in the Quarantine Speech delivered by U.S. President Franklin D. Roosevelt in 1937, while supplying Britain, the Soviet Union, and China with war materiel through the Lend - Lease Act which was signed into law on 11 March 1941, as well as deploying the U.S. military to replace the British invasion forces in Iceland. <P1-S1> The military history of the United States in World War II covers the war against Germany, Italy, Japan and starting with the 7 December 1941 attack on Pearl Harbor. <P1-S2> In the Pacific Theater, there was unofficial early U.S. combat activity such as the Flying Tigers. <SEP> <P2-S0> atanasoff invented the first electronic digital computer in the 1930s at iowa state college. <P2-S1> challenges to his claim were resolved in 1973 when the honeywell v. sperry rand lawsuit ruled that atanasoff was the inventor of the computer. <P2-S2> his special - purpose machine has come to be called the atanasoff -- berry computer. <SEP> <P3-S0> Robert Shivers, head of the Honolulu office, obtained permission from Hoover to start detaining those on the list on December 7, 1941, while bombs were still falling over Pearl Harbor. <P3-S1> In 1939, the Bureau began compiling a custodial detention list with the names of those who would be taken into custody in the event of war with Axis nations. <P3-S2> The majority of the names on the list belonged to Issei community leaders, as the FBI investigation built on an existing Naval Intelligence index that had focused on Japanese Americans in Hawaii and the West Coast, but many German and Italian nationals also found their way onto the secret list. <P3-S3> Mass arrests and searches of homes (in most cases conducted without warrants) began a few hours after the attack, and over the next several weeks more than 5,500 Issei men were taken into FBI custody. <P3-S4> On February 19, 1942, President Franklin Roosevelt issued Executive Order 9066, authorizing the removal of Japanese Americans from the West Coast. <P3-S5> FBI Director Hoover opposed the subsequent mass removal and confinement of Japanese Americans authorized under Executive Order 9066, but Roosevelt prevailed. <P3-S6> The vast majority went along with the subsequent exclusion orders, but in a handful of cases where Japanese Americans refused to obey the new military regulations, FBI agents handled their arrests. <P3-S7> The Bureau continued surveillance on Japanese Americans throughout the war, conducting background checks on applicants for resettlement outside camp, and entering the camps (usually without the permission of War Relocation Authority officials) and grooming informants in order to monitor dissidents and "troublemakers." <P3-S8> After the war, the FBI was assigned to protect returning Japanese Americans from attacks by hostile white communities. <SEP> <P4-S0> Electric washing machines were advertised and discussed in newspapers as early as 1904. <P4-S1> Alva J. Fisher has been incorrectly credited with the invention of the electric washer. <P4-S2> Woodrow's US patent number 921195). <P4-S3> The US Patent Office shows at least one patent issued before Fisher's US patent number 966677 (e.g. <P4-S4> The ``inventor ''of the electric washing machine remains unknown.
