Did you know there is a toaster from the 50's which is totally mechanically automatic? It slowly lowers and raises the bread automatically, controls the darkening of the bread by measuring the slice's temperature, and it is all powered by the thermal expansion of the heating coils themselves.
Ah, a fellow of culture I see. I also watch Technology Connections and also wish Radiant Control toasters were still a thing.
