Retrospective in Range

I saw one Norge I hadn't noticed before.  I really am impressed with the forward styling Norge used.  Anyone know the history of their design team?
 
Hans,

My cousin Eldina has the 30" gas version of your Caloric range.  It is in the kitchenette just off of their downstairs family room.  That range did alot of baking when she had her custom wedding cake business.
 
Kelly - you know I love your CI Frigidaire! The streamlined, industrial-like controls give that range a subtle look that is sure to please. IMO, much more attractive than a Flair any day.

Funny you started this post - I had to do some service work to the 1963 GE tonight. New lower oven control, and I replaced the front left burner with a period correct raised burner that was picked from an identical twin last New Years at Greg's. Too bad the low watt Hi-Speed burner went bad.

Kelly, thanks for starting this thread! I really like your ranges. I was wondering how the clock/timers on "N" series Flairs and Custom Imperial ranges like yours worked as they seemed to lack the "cooking hours". How does the oven stops automatically? Is it stopped by the Meal Minder only? I never had an oven that had a Meal Minder, how do you set these? Does it work only with the temp probe like the older "Meat Tender" which activated a buzzer?

Here are mine

The one I got just a few weeks ago (had a thread about it here http://www.automaticwasher.org/cgi-bin/TD/TD-VIEWTHREAD.cgi?43402_23).

(1971-72 RDE-38S), a very uncommon model here since these were not sold in Canada. I guess either someone here wanted an Electri-Clean range and bought it in the US as they were still not available in this country or it belonged to an American who moved it here...
