AUTOMATIC CLOTHES DRYER MAKES CLOTHES FLUFFY,
The continuous tumbling or fluffing process that takes place while
clothes are being dried in the new Westinghouse Automatic Clothes Dryer,
offers an improvement over clothesline drying. To a large extent, the
clothes dry wrinkle-free. Such pieces as bath towels, face towels, sheets
and pillowcases gain a fluffiness which is preferred by many housewives
over the harder finish that results from ironing.
Identical in size and shape to the Laundromat, the Westinghouse
Automatic Washer, the Clothes Dryer dries a load of clothes in approxi
mately the same time that it takes the Laundromat to wash them. Thus,
one load of c’T.hcs can be dried v.hi’e a second load is being washed.
The Westinghouse Automatic
CLOTHES DRYER
Companion of the Westinghouse Laundromat
This new dryer, makes it unecessary to iron many pieces,
and will eliminate clothes lines and clothes pins. And, makes
,t possible to do your own laundry in the stormiest weather.
It will be the companion piece to the Laundromat, the sen-
latio nal automatic washing machine developed by Westing-
louse just before the war.
It contains a large perforated metal basket in which damp
-lothes are placed. The basket rotates at slow speed while
-fan-circulated hot air carries away the moisture. The entire
operation is’ automatic, and the dryer even turns off the
heat when the clothing is dry.
Available in small quantities next month, mass production
of this fine piece of home laundering equipment will go into
mass production within a few weeks.

T-3 James M. Drennan, who' has
served with the 605th Ordnance Base
Armament Maintenance battalion
since January, 1943, at Casablanca,
French Morocco, Oran, Algeria and
Naples since November, 1944, is now
awaiting transportation to the States.
His battalion was one of the first
units in the Mediterranean theatre to
win the Meritorious Service Unit
Placque. It was activated at Camp
Sutton in March, 1942, and its per
sonnel is drawn largely from the
Southern States, most of the officers
and men having had experience as
mechanics, machinists, etc. and they
have made a record which is truly
remarkable. Not only have they
kept the repair work going at top
speed, but their ingenuity has proved
of great service to the Medical Corps.
They designed and constructed an
orthopedics table for one of the hos-
