What is the thing that looks like an Edward Scissorhands Christmas tree? Neighbors had that Mark 27 in white in their kitchen. In pic #2, I see a 60s GE 40" range.
Hotpoint called them "recipe heats" because if instructions said to switch to low you used LO or LOW and it was just the right heat; no looking under the pan at the flame height, no fiddling with a knob for the exact degree of "low"; it was just the fight amount of heat.
