One Large Burner....
....Used to be all you got on a 30-incher, even a TOL model. The gorgeous, TOL 1957 Straight-Line Design J 304 Spacemaker 30 from GE - in every other respect absolutely equal to the TOL 40-inch Liberator - had only one. You can see it in the photo below, originally posted to AW.org by Ben swestoyz.
And the other guys are correct - that Sears design is from the blingomaniacs at Roper.

Bob:
I can't answer your question - different manufacturers did different things. I can tell you that by the mid-1960s, the two-large/two-small burner configuration was seen on TOL and then upper-MOL electric ranges. However, the three-small/one-large configuration continued on for decades on BOL and lower-MOL units.
I personally find the lack of a second large burner to be a deal-breaker. The only time I've ever considered doing without one was when a Spacemaker 30 like the one shown in the photo I posted came up for sale here in Waterloo. That is such a rare and beautiful range that I would have tried to deal with the lack of a second large burner. | ||
