Brilliant, the clothes dry much quicker up high, probably a ventilation by product. They knew a thing or two back then.
I've never liked drying clothes indoors [whether by hoisting them up, putting them over a radiator/in an airing-cupboard or using a Flatley-type thing]. It always adds moisture to the air and leads to window-condensation/mould.
At least a properly-installed tumble-drier exhausts the air through a duct to the outside. (OK, I know a lot of people don't bother with a fitted through-the-wall exhaust "terminal" and just dump the hot, wet air into the kitchen).

Maybe I'm hypersensitive about ambient moisture? but I really don't like relative-humidities above 50% (so I similarly dislike cooking with gas or using those free-standing "Super Ser" calor-gas heaters, both of which dump water-of-combustion into their environment).
