VINTAGE OWNER'S MANUALS, SERVICE MANUALS, BROCHURES AND PUBLICATIONS
Welcome to Automatic Ephemera, a library for historical research and education, sharing public domain documents relating to vintage products for
the home. You are viewing the low-resolution preview, high-resoultion versions are also available for most documents.
The scanning of all high-resolution documents is done at 300dpi with the utmost diligence and care to produce high quality .pdf files which have text
search capabilities built-in to bring modern convenience to vintage printed materials.
The high resolution also allows for close-up examination of all images on your computer monitor and in many cases makes
reading the text easier than the original document. Quality printers can print these documents nearly identically to the original document. Maintaining a library as such is a
time consuming and expensive venture, all materials have a small download fee to offset the library's many expenses.
In order to read these documents you need Adobe
Reader 7 or greater installed on your computer. Click here for samples of the Documents in our library.

mechanism. The user no longer has to convert a load of washed material into a time setting of minutes and a temperature in either degrees or any other temperature nomenclature. The proper settings at best judgment on a straight timed dryer are usually learned only after several loads and with the aid of a table in an instruction booklet. The automatic cycle user merely has to distinguish the type of fabric of her clothes load. This is generally obvious to the average housewife. She sets the dial marked for type of fabric which indirectly establishes the drying time and temperature. The settings are always the same regardless of load size or moisture content.
The automatic drying cycle is based on temperature. During the drying period, the timer runs only when the heaters are off and conversely the timer is off when the
heaters are energized. This has been accomplished by installing single-pole, double-throw thermostats. The heat sensitive switches determine the circuits to accomplish the above operation. The heaters are always on longer to satisfy the thermostat when a larger load or greater amount of moisture is in the drum. Thus the variable total drying time is accomplished because the timer will not advance toward SHUTOFF unless the thermostat is satisfied. The spacings of the settings in the automatic portion of the timer have been calibrated to give approximately the same time and heat cycles for a corresponding load if it were accurately set on the present time cycle.
The automatic cycle has been accepted to be superior to a regular timed cycle because the clothes will never be under-dry or over-dry.
