Hair-drier

Along the left wall were four microfilm readers that looked like futuristic hair-driers.

It is very striking that the big manufacturers of industrial and of ‘white’ goods (fridges, washing machines, driers) set up lines of production for smaller items such as hair-driers, toasters, coffee- and tea-makers.

Electric kettles, hair-driers, toasters and irons all have heating elements which work in a similar way to those in an electric fire.
