Glad you started this thread, Tom. I wanted to point out that 1958 was a great year for console design/styling. There are some real beauties. Thanks to various AW members who posted these photos found in a Google Images search.

The last 5 minutes of "no heat" tumble seemed skimpy. I remember how hot the early spacemate dryers were. |

Early WH auto dry cycles just shut off when the temperature was reached, no cool down at all. You needed oven mitts to handle the load. |

When I was growing up, if I remember correctly, it had 3 heats,I don't remember it being too hot, I know it dried the clothes fairly quickly though. |

They did not heat the load to excessively high temperatures if the auto dry was not used. |
