Early 80’s we had a Ward’s signature 2000 Harvest Gold set mom had gotten used, before my birth. I remember the dials lit up and it had a no-tumble setting she used to dry our with shoes on a rack. The old lady a few houses down had the same dryer in brown and hers was in pristine condition, as our set was a little cruddy I remember. Ours was timed dry only . The neighbor (“mommy Alma”) was really nice and I happened to get the pleasure once or twice of seeing her doing her laundry. Anyway these dryers were started by depressing the main timer dial after selecting the time or whatever and the lady would hold in the dial for like 30 or more seconds after the dryer had started, which seemed like an eternity to my 7 year old self. She claimed she was lighting the pilot. We didn’t do this ever with our dryer , but her model didn’t light up. She didn’t feel the need to elaborate to a child but I had always wondered. Was this true? Sorry if I rambled. Tim
