Hoover Keymatic A3008 (1976)

The Sounds of Washday!! As many new machines now operate with electronic controls that are super silent, I often miss the clicks and whirs of previous washing machines. One of the most memorable is the Hoover Keymatic - it used a card reader to select and read the wash programme chosen, and as the cams link up with the slots on the keyplate it makes a ticking and clicking noise that many of us will remember  on washday?? Tell us your most memorable washday sounds??
