A toaster from 1949, the Sunbeam Radiant Control Toaster, is better than most toasters sold today. "No button, no lever, no other input required. Drop bread, get toast."
Raising or lowering of the bread is obtained by making use of the energy of expansion and contraction of the Center Element wire. Of course, this movement is very small and is measured in thousandths of an inch, but more than adequate carriage movement is obtained by a simple linkage which multiplies this movement approximately 175 times.
