Abstract
Since its introduction into the home, the clothes dryer has received many modifications and improvements. One of the most recent has been the addition of an electronic control, which terminates the drying cycle when the clothes have reached the appropriate dryness. After loading the machine, the housewife sets the control for the degree of dryness desired; the dryer will automatically turn off when this point is reached.
