elektrogeräte

da es offenkundig probleme mit dem verständnis von eigen- und fremdaussage gab, ist hier ab heute alles ordentlichst zitiert.

[quote] The electric iron was invented in 1882 in France using a carbon arc to create heat, a method that was found to be extremely dangerous. Irons using an electrical resistance were first shown by both Crompton and Co. and the General Electric Co. in 1892. This method was both safer and more efficient, setting the pattern for all further development. The earliest models looked like electrified flat irons with solid cast-iron sole-plates and cowls.
