We were contacted by the USTA to see if we could design a tennis court dryer. Apparently people get impatient during rain delays. Oh yes, the machine had to go through a normal door.

Our "hover craft" approach had merit but there were some problems that were going to be expensive to resolve.

On the back burner(maybe).

We tried our hand at a cheaper air dry system.

We decided not to compromise on our approach.

Professional hockey players like to have their gloves dried just right (ie 3 Bears) between periods (not a long time).

This machine was hot, fast, big, too many working parts and hard to tune. Other than that it worked great!

We made a travel version of a 4 pr boot dryer. It worked but there were some structural problems.

However, if you look at this machine plus the unit from above you will meet the parents of our Specialty Series Case6 Dryer.

We tried our hand at making a light weight, portable, universal ski rack...and easy to ship.

It worked great but not part of our core business.

A combination boot and glove dryer.

What were we thinking?

Finally, here is one of our earliest designs (late 80's) from which the P series eventually developed.

It wasn't very efficient but did send us down the correct path.
