Louis Goldenberg -- The Washing Mashine

as early as 1904, electric washing machines were being discussed in magazines and newspapers. The first person to invent. since Goldenberg was working under Ford, the Ford motor company had rights to the patent. Goldenberg was from New Brunswick, NJ.

in 1937, a company called Bendix introduced the first washing machine like those of today. it featured a front loader and permanent connections to water supply, the drum lacked a suspension, so during certain cycles, the machine would "walk" much like older machines today do.

Unfortunately, it is not well known that Goldenberg is the true inventor of the washing machine, as this invention is commonly credited to Alva J Fisher because he was the first to create a washing machine with a round drum, but not the first electric washing machine.
