Abstract
An arrangement for shortening the cycle time of coin-operated washing machines by modifying a timer setting action produced by reciprocation of a coin-operating mechanism slide. The arrangement includes a shim element assembled to the actuation arm of a clutch mechanism driven by the coin slide assembly to advance the initial setting of a timer controlling the duration of the washing machine cycles. The shim is configured to be snap-fitted to the actuation arm.
