   It surprises me how the US loves their top-loading washers. Here in the UK, there isn't the complex (though interesting) "transmission": the drum has fins to act as both agitator and spin-dryer. This means it's just a boring belt drive between motor and drum (or direct drive, for newer machines.)

      We have those types here in the States, too. They're very common. We even have several different domestic manufacturers of them to pick from.

      (As an aside: I don't throw rocks at your house.)
