: ?A glorious celebration of the toaster in its various vintage forms. The photo galleries in particular are worth getting lost in, come breakfast-time.?
For inventors and engineers of toasters it seemed to be a big challenge to create as many as possible different technical solutions to ... well ... heat and rotate a simple square slice of bread.
- Perchers The bread stands alone
- Pinchers The bread is pinched at its place
- Turners The bread is turned horizontally
- Swingers The bread is turned vertically
- Sliders The bread slides in the toaster
- Drive Thrus The bread drives thru the toaster
- Tippers The bread tips out the toaster
- Floppers (Turn Overs) The bread flops out and flips over
- Droppers The bread falls through a trap door
- Pop-Ups The bread automatically jumps out of the top
- Drop/Turn-Ups The bread has been raised manually
- Flat Beds The toast lies on a grille
