Clothes dryers such as Clothes airers use pulley airer system to make it more efficient and space saving. Traditional ceiling airers can be raised or lowered using pulley system to a preferred height so that the user can hang laundry at a suitable height. It saves space and clothes are dried quickly due to the presence of warm air trapped at the ceiling.

I've always been interested in the Victorian way of life & memorabilia, ec.,, which is why this thread caught my eye diana!

My husband bought me this brilliant book from Past Times for my birthday some years back:

I had a pully airer all my life, until I moved into this house where the ceilings are too low.

In the Blackburn area of Lancashire it is also called a rack.

Brilliant for drying and airing clothes, and keeping your pj's warm before you go to bed.
