Hi
I recently came across a 'Hills Hoist' ( a brand name that commonly
refers to all of these for similar products in Australia) in satellite
imagery and so I mapped it using
amenity=clothes_dryer, from taginfo some 300 uses world wide
clothes_dryer=umbrella none of these
The Russian wiki documents clothes_dryer=umbrella.
https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/RU:Tag:amenity%3Dclothes_dryer
However I think these are the 'foldable' versions of the fixed 'Hills
Hoist'.
They seem to be named as 'rotary' see;
https://www.theclotheslinestore.com.au/folding-rotary-clothes-hoist/ has
both non foldable and foldable.

https://www.amazon.com/rotary-clothesline/s?k=rotary+clothesline
I think the Russian 'umbrella' wording refers to the folding ability of
some of them. But this has another tag
clothes_dryer;foldable=yes
So I have adopted the tagging of
amenity=clothes_dryer
clothes_dryer=rotary
Done some ~5 of these, 1 private, the rest in camp sites.
Any comments/suggestions?
