I could understand...
People turning it the wrong way. You usually start the timer in the lower numbers and work your way up to the higher numbers. It doesn't seem right that you start with the highest number and work down to the time you want the dryer to start at.
So I would probably have been one of those to turn the knob the wrong way. Hmhmhm... :o) | ||

Westinghouse Dryers! My Aunt got one in 55, It raised 2 boys, then we got it in 67 and it raised me! It ran forever, I wish I had known at 14 what I know now and I would have kept it, it got to where the belt jumped off, but other than that it ran trouble free all those years. | ||

It's a pity the manufacturers didn't add a 'one-way' toothed latching system to prevent the timer being twisted backwards. | ||

"Turn ONLY (THIS WAY!) like it says..."
Perhaps this is a still-working vintage dryer put in some group home where the idiot inmates would be capable of finding a THIRD way to turn that dial, so the sharpie was a best-measure to prevent it from being turned just that one wrong way, opposite of where it was inherently meant to go...
