Talk:Lloyd Groff Copeman

Correction to notion of who invented electric stove
It would appear that Lloyd Groff Copeman was only one of several developers of the electric stove. The "Electric Stove" article in Wikipedia, "http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electric_stove", indicates that such a stove was invented by Thomas Ahearn of Ottawa, Ontario, Canada as noted in this extract:

"Canadian inventor Thomas Ahearn filed patent number no. 39916 in 1892 for an "Electric Oven," a device he probably employed in preparing a meal for an Ottawa hotel that year. Ahearn and Warren Y. Soper were owners of Ottawa's Chaudiere Electric Light and Power Company. The electric stove was showcased at the Chicago World's Fair in 1893, where an electrified model kitchen was shown."

Thus, that preceded Copeman's first effort in 1906 by fourteen years.

And that same web-site, "http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electric_stove", states that "in 1897, William Hadaway was granted US patent # 574537 for an "Automatically Controlled Electric Oven".

Then, also from "http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electric_stove", is mentioned another electric stove invention before the Copeman, Hadaway, and Ahearn inventions: "On September 20, 1859, George B. Simpson was awarded US patent #25532 for an 'electro-heater' surface heated by a platinum-wire coil powered by batteries. In his words, useful to "warm rooms, boil water, cook victuals...".
