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". The manufacturer's name changed over time, and the name used on this iron indicates that it was made after 1927. The patents indicate that it was made after 1929. However, in its design it is almost exactly the same as Hotpoint irons from the early 1900's. This iron features a temperature knob for various types of fabric, but no setting for rayon, whic was easily flammable indicating that the iron may have been produced in the 1920s rather that 1930s. The electric iron was invented in 1882, by Howard Seely. Seely patented his electric flatiron on June 6, 1882 (U.S. Patent no. 259, 054). Early electric irons used a carbon arc to create heat, which was an unsafe method. In 1892, hand irons using electrical resistance were introduced by Crompton and Company and the General Electric Company. During the 1950s, electric steam irons were introduced.
