There are no parts in the 1900 tub to rub the clothes, and no lint will be found in the tub after the washing is finished, because the water is forced through the clothes by the movement of the tub, and not by the action on the clothes of any part. The Cataract is easy to operate. Just connect the washer with the electric light socket or plug—and pull back the lever. Off it starts! Nothing complicated, and nothing to get out of order.
