Check it out, from 1953, a Whirlpool stacked washer below, dryer up top. Notice that the dryer belt wraps around the drum, I did not think they came up with that idea until 65 or 66. It also drives an intake fan and exhaust fan. I never knew anyone did a stacked unit until decades later, and I never knew WP tried the belt around the drum this early, then didn't use it for over 10 years.
Has anyone ever seen this unit? Very cool. Also, Fig 7 in the drawing, what is it? Thanks |

That was a really cool patent. I'm curious about the blowers too, I wonder if they were trying to increase airflow?
