M. Knorr, plant manager. The spray-steam-dry iron is one of three new Proctor-Silex products based on the same new concept of “self-service ability”—the others are a toaster and automatic percol ator. Only the iron will be made here. Machinery tooled for the new item is being set up in the local plant, assembly lines are being shifted around and employees are receiving train ing in production, Mr. Knorr said. The new iron — which anybody at home can take apart into components each of which can be replaced by sep arate purchase at Proctor- Silex appliance dealers—will form only a portion of the lo cal plant’s production, it was pointed out. It will continue to manufacture conventional irons already in production here, in addition to the new item. The “Lifelong” iron has been manufactured, for test ing and design experimenta- m I' y 'Come-Apart' Feature of New Iron Shown tion, at a pilot plant in Phil adelphia, Pa. before the start of assembly line production here. The design for all three of the revolutionary new Proc tor-Silex appliances is an “in dustry first,” Mr. Knorr said. It will eliminate taking an appliance to a repair station or junking the entire appli ance in case of breakdown. Modular Concept The new development re flects adaptation of the mod ular concept to the field of small electric housewares, Mr. Knorr explained. Each appli ance is made of basic compon ents that can be readily disas- I sembled and re-assembled in ' the home, without tools. - Should a reduction in peak ef ficiency occur, the trouble can be readily located by fol lowing simplified steps in the instruction manual and the needed replacement unit im mediately obtained from a nearby “Lifelong” appliance dealer. “The “Lifelong” appliance concept supplements but does not replace, the company’s standard one-year guarantee against mechanical or electric defects in its brand name pro ducts.
