Fonction

To press textiles. Temperature control provided greater efficiency when pressing different styles and weights of textiles.

Technique

The Hotpoint iron was designed in 1905 by Earl H. Richardson from California. The heating elements in this iron are arranged in such a way that the heat is concentrated at the forward point of the soleplate, to better iron buttonholes and pleated materials. Hence the name "Hotpoint." Highlights advances in the efficiency and ease of ironing. Temperature control was an innovation in this domestic technology that dates to the late 1920s. The manufacturer’s name changed over time. The lack of name on the appliance makes it more difficult to date, but the Calrod Automatic was first introduced in 1928.
