The Apollo dryers were always able to be stacked on the top of the machine with a stacking frame. The frame will fit any matchbox machine. As a result, the dryers are slightly smaller than the washer both in height and width.
'Apollo' dryers (and the last ones were also badged Westinghouse) were made in 3.5 and 5kg capacities with the later ones available as both single direction, reverse tumbling and reverse tumbling with sensors. An external drying rack was available as an option on lower models and standard on higher ones. It attached so that it hung above the door regardless of if the dryer was right way up or upside down (2 sets of holes!). Was a great idea that allowed you to hang shirts, say, on hangers in front of the door exhaust - effectively getting double use of the hot air.
Apollo dryers all front vented.
I have a feeling that the current range of Haier dryers that we get here are very simmilar and have the same drying rack. Even the sides and front of the machine look the same as does the door vent pressing on the inside and the way the filter attaches. I've attached the Haier electronic dryer page.
My guess is that the Apollo was based on the equivalent UK Hoover design. It would be logical.
