Toasters

[agent 99]

Hey
we got a new toaster and were arguing about how many slices of toast you need/want the toaster to make, so I said I'd ask some people how many pieces of toast their toaster can make in one go.

Also tell us how many people living in your house =D

From the early days of bread, toast has existed, around 200 years ago, simple tools for holding the bread over open flame came about, in 1895, the first electric toaster was seen on the market, it used Iron Wires and was called 'eclipse' unfortunatelly, the world was not ready for the amazing blessing of the electric toaster, and so it was not until George Schneider of the American Electrical Heater Company patented the electric toaster some thime later, that the toaster started to rise, the original toaster's Iron wiring could melt easier and was a significant fire risk, however, the new toaster had Chromel wiring, which had been discovered only a short time previously. In 1909 a competing patent was put in by General Electric, In 1913 Lloyd Groff Copeman and his wife Hazel Berger Copeman patented several toaster designs, and The Copeman Electric Stove Company created a toaster that turned the bread.

The next development in the world of toast was the advent of semi-automatic toaster, which had plenty of new and wonderfull timer deviced, which would stop the element in the toaster from furthermore heating the toast. but the Toast still had to be inserted and removed by the use of a lever.

In 1919, a fully automatic toaster was released, it was patented by Charles Strite and could eject the toats after cooking it, in 1925, the Waters Genter Company modified the toaster, and sold it as the Model 1-A-1 Toastmaster, the advertising point of the 1-A-1 was that t simultaniously cooked both sides of the bread.

by 1950, some luxury toasters where comming into the market, with no lever, and all interaction with the toaster required, was to drop the bread into the toaster, and to pick the toast from it. Sunbeam released the T-20, T-35 and T-50 toasters, which detected how cooked the toast was by measuring the heat that passed through the bread, which meant that the bread was always toasted to the same degree.

some modern Luxury toasters come with these features:

• Internet access; you can toast your bread using your computer!
  
• Weather station; they can print out the weather foprcast onto your toast
  
• Open source operating system; WTF???
  

and so, the history of the machine which made the moon landing possible has been handed on you. Knowledge is power, use it well.

I have an appology to make, as I was the Toastiphile, and I was increddibly bored, and so I wnet on wikipedia and read the whole artical, and then went about it as I would an assignment. as I say, I was bored, so My applogies to all who where given a 'weird vibe'.

also, I think that my ending was a bit weird, but it does not matter.

edit on further reflection;

- also, when I made the comment, WTF???, I was only using it as a minor comment that I would not normally make, but I felt that it was in-character of my Toastiphile to say such things.
