Is there a way for me to find out about the 
dryer itself? I don't recall anything on 
any of the little plates saying otherwise.

I've traced the wires from the secondary box 
back to the primary fuse box and they connect 
directly to the two main lines that everything 
branches off from.

I would guess the distance at about 35 feet from
the primary box, to the secondary box. The secondary
box is used only for the dryer and it has a simple
throw switch inline with the fuses.
