All very interesting - 
My grandmother had a little earlier gas version of this style dryer that was bought new and lasted the rest of their lives. I remember it being very hot and was never allowed to dial more than MED heat setting. It had a relatively easy life, most things were hung to dry outside in fair weather and inside in foul.
My shopping basket would have the sexy GE double, the 58 Frigidaire 30", the Frigidaire ref. The Tappan in Kansas City is very cool, looks never used. John in Maryland has one with all or most of the accessories that plugged into the counter-top unit. Open elements and a good selection of electric pans of several styles, etc. It would make a good bar or second-kitchen range if you had space for a separate oven. | ||

OLDER WP DRYERS
WP dryers before 1966 were not real fast drying machines unless you had one of the 37,000 BTU gas models or one of the high wattage hi end KMs. The hi wattage electric were only on hi end KMs from 1955-1960 and never offered on any WP model. The hi wattage KMs had either an 8400 or 8900 watt heater element an needed a 50 AMP circuit like an electric range. The early WP dryers like the frog eye model shown only had a 4200 or 4800 watt element, later they went to 5600 watts and used a much larger blower which helped some. Older WP dryers were well built but they often didn't dry as fast as many other brands until it was redesigned in 1966 at witch point few other dryers ever worked as well.

120 volt and 240 volt dryer operation
All WP & KM electric full size dryers use the same element for either 120 or 240 volt operation. The element only puts out 1/4 the wattage on 120 volts. A full sized dryer that has a 5600 watt heater will produce only 1400 watts on 120 volts. Interestedly the first little 24" compact 120 volt dryers that WP made in the late 60s and early 1970s used the regular 5600 watt element from thier largest dryers of the time.Eventually they started using a smaller element as the 5600s cost to much, and wouldn't burn out in 100 years.
