EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time to the 1960s with this fascinating glimpse into the Electricity Council appliance testing lab in Leatherhead, Surrey. In this photo print, we see a woman hard at work in the Housecraft Department, meticulously testing the creaming capability of a food mixer. The process involves dropping a mixture into oil and observing if it floats – a sure sign that it has been correctly creamed.
This image captures not only the meticulous attention to detail required in appliance testing but also highlights the important role women played in industries such as electrical engineering during this era. The opening of a new extension on 16 May 1969 marked an exciting chapter for these laboratories, showcasing cutting-edge technology and innovation.
As we reflect on this snapshot from history, we are reminded of the vital importance of quality control and experimentation in ensuring consumer safety and satisfaction. The Electricity Council's commitment to excellence is evident in every aspect of their work, from research and development to product testing.
Join us on a journey through time as we explore the rich history of industrial progress at the Electricity Council appliance testing lab – where innovation meets tradition, and where every test tells a story of dedication and expertise.
