I think these were from the final fruiting of the American Gas Association attempt to combat the Edison Electric Institute "Full Housepower" campaign. The AGA did a lot of work in the mid-50s through mid-60s to "normalize" gas appliances (starting with CP stoves with lots of features, then moving through gas drying and gas refrigeration (!) and finally this Rube Goldberg contraption along with a RCA Whirlpool cooktop design from the early 60s (blanket-of-flame or some such) which had a fan-forced gas cooktop (never have seen one up close and personal), before GE, Westinghouse and Frigidaire gave the back-of-the-hand to gas (the ultimate of a self-cleaning range--what modern woman would want anything less
