modom,
that's pretty funny. My mom's parents came to Canada in 1911 or so, then eventually moved into the US. (He went into the Canadian Army for WWI and my mom and her mom went back to England for the duration. When they returned after the war, it was to where they lived in Halifax, which was totally messed up. Look up "Halifax Explosion" for an unbelievable story.)
Anyway, my grandmother could have been one of those little old ladies. When she married at 22, her marriage certificate listed her occupation as "spinster." She knew THE WAY to make tea. And the house had a nice complement of doilies she had made.
Please scan that manual and put it up where people can see it. There's something you can do to add to the world's knowledge of those days.

A good answer is easier with a clear question giving the make and model of everything.
