We said in class that since the gap between end of washing machine and start of dryer will continue to grow, we'll eventually have a bunch of soggy wet clothes waiting to be put in the dryer and want to stop putting things in the washing machine. But since the limiting factor here is the length of time needed to dry, why don't we just always wait 15 minutes before putting clothes in the dryer? Throughput should stay the same, and this way we don't get that huge gap between end of washing and start of drying.
