I thought this was sort of interesting (what exactly is a well cooker?) It's a guide to the Frigidaire electric range from 1945.

You trying to tell me you didn't hear that shriek? That was something trying to get out of its premature grave, and I don't want to be here when it does. - Phantom of the Paradise (1974)

Yes, this one is interesting. Thanks for sharing it.
I love the artwork on the cover—all those disconnected lines are a unique and attractive style. For instance, look at how the facial features around the nose and profile are done, and the neck line underneath the chin—just suggestions that trick us into seeing planes where there aren't any. It takes genius to conceive of something like that.
I don't know about the well cooker, either, and I'm confused about what they mean by "surface heats." It kind of sounds like what we would call "eyes," and yet it also sounds like they're talking about temperature settings.
And I wonder why they capitalized all the questions as if they are titles?
Wonder, wonder, wonder, that's all I do.
