My sister

visited London in the mid 1980's. One of the photos she took had a Sharp microwave add on the side of a bus. When I asked why that would be, rather than an add for a play, or movie, or a car, she replied that a microwave oven in the UK was just coming into the mainstream market. That American luxuries came along a bit later.
 
I think maybe Tappan

copied the idea for the eye level electric warming shelf from the Carron. It sure became obsolete rather quickly. I don't know why, I found it rather stylish and functional. Maybe it was a trend towards more built in ovens and cook tops, or over the range microwave oven/vent combos. My mothers had it's own vent fan built in it. Once when the oven wouldn't light when it was new, she cooked a Thanksgiving green bean casserole on the warming shelf. It was one of the first gas self cleaning ranges, and also to have pilotless ignition for the oven.
