Invention Information
The barrels would be turned by hand over a fire. Sampson's invention was also a ventilator, but it eliminated the need for an open flame, and used frames instead of a barrel. George T. Sampson is credited for paving the way to more modern clothes dryers. Electrical clothes dryers did not appear until around 1915, and the Hamilton Manufacturing Company produced the first fully automatic dryer in 1938.
