I've seen a stainless steel washer in operation, which worked like a slowly rotating washing machine. Is that the one describing?Regards Ralph W. Lambrecht
No, this was a flat tray that rocked back and forth. It was made by Calumet when they were mainly a maker of stainless-steel darkroom equipment. I found an ad for it in an old magazine: it was a large unit mounted in its own table type frame, larger than what I remembered. The rotary washers were made by Pa-Ko who made a large line of photofinishing equipment including large drum dryers. I think a similar washer was made by at least one other company. I think both types of washers were meant more for high quantity washing of smaller prints than for large ones.
