Belling 1961
Variants of the "Baby Belling", designed for small apartments or to supplement solid fuel ranges, particularly for use in summer

Note that this cooker will operate on a single 13A or 15A socket (240V of course)

And they still make it!
The Baby Belling was re-designed in around 1971 or so, and it continues more or less unchanged today. It still can be operated on a single socket outlet, you have a choice of two hotplates or one hotplate and oven/grill (broiler). It also comes without this restriction, but then it needs an exclusive 30A supply

My favourite Belling of all
And indeed one of my favourite cookers period
The Belling Classic Double 80. This is from the late 1960s and is 21 inches wide (standard for those days). I love the clean styling of it. Main oven is underneath, the top compartment is another oven or grill (broiler)

At at the top of the scale

Brown was and is made in Cleveland Tennessee, I have been there and have seen the factory,they are the only privately owned range company left in the US, still being owned by the Brown family, started in 1935 by GC Brown and family.

This is the stove we had growing up, a 50's Moffat.. (the pics are from someone selling one in Toronto for $750) I could kill my sister.. she took it to put away in their barn and then gave it away.
That happened after dad died and mom had her kitchen remodelled. Those big ovens aren't as common now and she didn't want to have the cabinets made to fit it and then come the day she needed a new stove and couldn't find one to fit.. So that's when sis said she'd take it and possibly use it in her kitchen,, never did.

the left side was only a warming oven

Control panel.. loved the sliding oven temperature gauge on the right,, lit up and a mechanical bell sounded when it reached temperature . THe chrome knob on the left of the clock was a mechanical minute timer.
bigger picture I Hope
A few months ago there was an article in the TOronto paper about the Moffat factory and they interviewed one of the woman who had worked their back in the 50's till her retirement building these ovens. She had one herself and still uses it today.

here is a GE that is currently on my craigslist, very similar to the one my gram had except hers had no oven window and the glass on the console was a seafoam color on hers.
If I didnt have the Flair in my way I'd snag this
