Item #: SCP-XXXX

Object Class: Safe

Special Containment Procedures: Use of SCP-XXXX is open to all facility staff stationed onsite at Site 67 and has no known dangers associated with it's continued use. SCP-XXXX is currently located in the level 2 laundry room.

Description: SCP-XXXX is a powered household tumble dryer. SCP-XXXX bears the logo of the "WASHIT" corporation, however no record exists of such a company. It is a Rectangular prism, measuring 81.28 centimeters in width, 1.01 meters in height and 76.20 centimeters in depth. SCP-XXXX is colored white, with 3 cream colored buttons on the front panel, corresponding to low, medium and high heat. It is front loading, and has a circular dial to allow the user to select the duration of the drying cycle. A rectangular metal hatch covers approximately 60% of the front, with a metal handle for opening and closing. Underneath the buttons, a scratch in the finish is present, spelling: "+1".

All internal mechanisms are consistent with other non anomalous appliances of this type.

When activated, SCP-XXXX will dry a load of clothes as any normal tumble dryer would, however once opened, the user will invariably find one extra Sock. Attempting to run SCP-XXXX without any material in the drum will not produce any extra socks. The method by which these extra socks enter SCP-XXXX is not currently understood, however may have some links to SCP-334-j

Multiple experiments have been run to attempt to identify how and when the extra sock appears.

Any testing done on SCP-XXXX must adhere to the following format:

Note from Dr. Schafer: I'm looking at you, Dave

Test X - Date XX/XX/XX

Input:

Equipment used:

Setting:

Results:

Test 1 - Date 02/03/1991

Input: 1 Beige womans dress, size 12.

Equipment used: 1 X-Ray imager

Setting: Low power setting, 5 minute cycle time.

Results: 1 Beige womans dress, 1 Black sock - cotton, size 9.

Equipment used: 1 X-Ray imager

Setting: Medium power setting, 60 minutes cycle time

Results: 1 load of dry clothing, 1 extra yellow polyester sock.

Anomalous behavior will not seem to manifest under direct supervision, and only 
appears once there is no direct observation of the internals. The extra sock only 
appeared after we had removed the load of clothing, closed the door and 
turned off the X-Ray imager.

Note from Dr. Schafer: Removing X-Ray imager from further tests, as we're not getting anywhere.
