Abstract
An infrared heating apparatus for drying a traveling textile fabric web or the like wherein radiators having a first gas-heated radiator surface and a second electrically-heated radiator surface are pivotably mounted for selective alternating movement of the radiator surfaces into and out of heating relationship to the traveling fabric web. The apparatus enables the selective cost-efficient use of differing energy sources.
