Interesting features of the 1950 GE Astroliner Range

Though a low cost model (all high end GE ranges of the era had pushbutton controls and a fluorescent overhead light, instead of knobs and T-10 bulbs) it has all the options I wanted from my previous range which suffered a grease fire (a 1952 Westinghouse Chiefton). I shopped around for months and finally chose this unit over many higher cost models for its simplicity and functionality. I paid $200 for it. Another somewhat comical feature - You can also pull out the bottom oven element and move it to the center of the oven to create a "high-speed oven", which GE demonstrated in promo movies by placing a bag of ice on the bottom of the oven while broiling a roast in the upper half. They also dubbed this an 'energy saving feature' as the public was just then getting electricity and many were horrified at their first electric bills ( wonder why when the common 'kitchen light bulb' was 150 watts?)
