Cross Vane Tumbling

Joe, go look at pictures 3 & 4 in reply #2 above and you'll see the vane going at an angle across the dryer drum.

Interesting. I looked at those pics and never noticed until you called my attention to it. Wonder if it made and difference.

Cross-vane tumbling

I couldn’t attest to whether or not it’s actually better but I’m sure it was a sort of gimmick to give reason for their dryers to stand out in the competition. The canes are angled rather than straight front to back. Two are angled one way and the third is angled in the opposite direction with the idea of less balling and tangling.

Very nice collection! Working on these is definitely good therapy. Great machines for a Northwest wash-in someday!
