No, but thank you. Do the clothes you hang up to dry drip all over the floor? If they don't it means that clothes hung up to dry don't have to drip. You make it sound inevitable because it happened historically. Even my mother could wring clothes by hand so that they would not drip, a skill probably learned in the years before her family got a wringer washer. I have done it also, although when I washed heavy throw rugs in the 33" WP combo and hung them out after the spin the machine provided, they dripped for hours. With today's modern appliances there would be a greatly diminished likelihood of dripping and these same adjustable drying racks are still in use in these homes today. I spoke with a woman from the UK at an estate sale who talked about using the drying rack over the AGA.
Drying Yards: There was one at Fallingwater. Once a week lines were strung in a hidden location. It might have been in the carport so that the laundry could not be seen from the house. It had something to do with the carport. I think the guide said the carport was a new concept at the time. [this post was last edited: 3/4/2015-21:32]
