The look of the timer and temp are another clue that this might be a very early model. Red bakelite knobs, chrome escutcheon with red imprints. Note that the timer knob is a dual pointer knob. There is actually 2 identical cycles, but only one indicator. No having to turn the knob backward to select the time; just rotate so the opposite side points to the time you want...

reminding you with every load can that dry clothes will be abundant even in a blizzard or a hurricane, just in case you forgot how lucky you are to own a dryer.
Interesting, efficient timer. The temp control must actual with High being more than half way from what the engineers considered Medium, all graduated, like a stove dial, ya know? Guessing they all were back then. |

Hi Peter the vent on top of the dryer is where the combustion products from the gas burner vent, the hot humid linty air are blown out the front at the bottom through the now missing lint screen. This dryer was the only home gas dryer that I ever saw that used a heat exchanger. Tom and I have had one or two of these but I have never gotten around to trying one out, I am sure it would be pretty slow as a % of the gases heat would vent out the flue without going through the load of tumbling clothes. However if you have smelly gas it might help that problem.

John:
I'm confused over the blower at the bottom. I understand that this vents from the bottom into the room, but from where did it pull? Are you saying that there is no fan to pull hot humid air from the drum, kind of like a Filtrator -- hot humid air just naturally "drops" out of the drum and the fan is there to dissipate it? Never mind... I think I see it does draw from the drum... |

I wondered about that little 3 inch exhaust pipe, that makes perfect sense about the heat exchanger. alr2903 |
