Judging from from the picture in the ad, those were 1966-1969 machines. It's very possible that her "old" dryer is an early HOH. The switch-over year from the perforated drum dryers to the HOH was sometime in 1957. Of course, maybe she has no dryer at all, but I find it hard to believe that 35 loads a week could be washed and dried without a dryer. The physics of it just don't seem possible IMHO. My grandmother 7 children with no dryer and a wringer washer. I know for a fact that she did not wash 35 loads a week! From the stories I think it would have been more like 12-15 loads through the E2L. Monday was the BIG washday with bed linens included, probably 10-12 loads. Thursday was the "short" day with only diapers and towels.

HOH Drum Capacity Is diffidently something under 5 cubic feet in capacity and dryers with the heater directly outside the drum you don't want to pack really full as you risk clothing damage or worse.
EASY no WP built dryer has been less than 5.9 cubic feet in capacity since 1967, if you have a KM machine that is 5.5 it must be a Frigidaire built machine, another machine you don't want to pack full. | ||

Unless there's something Im not getting:
To clarify, a "new generation" Maytag dryer was what I meant, in saying that "Mrs. Gross" wanted to add one to her "new generation" Maytag washer...
So until Maytag would increase its drum capacity in its dryers, she'd have to line-dry if the Halo Of Heat couldn't hold that the same amount of clothes that were washed in the washer, as was discussed... -- Dave | ||
