I believe that's the same dryer friends in Dallas had for a while. Its predecessor was a Kenmore Frog Eye dryer and the successor was a latter 60s Kenmore 70 series.
Washers were a 1957 or 1958 Frog Eye Kenmore with the gold burst timer; then the Westinghouse front loader with timer controlled hot/warm water temps that had a pale yellow portion of the control panel; then a GE FFlo 2-speed washer. This was my first exposure to a mini basket being used. The final laundry set I ever saw was a harvest gold Kenmore 80 series center dial belt drive from the 1970s.
This had to be aaround 1959-1962. I coudln't really see very well the control panel and was simply instructed to set the timer setting where there was a notch or click I could feeel such that it hit the section in the auto dry cycle where by the timer was off until the parameters were met to have the dryer energize the timer until the coool down.
