Continental

These were Continental's line of hard mounted washers from Continental's introduction into the United States in 1995 until the 2010's. According to their archived website, these were nicknamed the "big look" series due to their oversized look, particularly the larger machines. These were later called the "L-Series", but for this, the L-Series is solely going to reference the two high capacity rigid mount machines made until 2020 (scroll down).
