Inventions can sometimes be forgotten over time, especially if they aren’t used regularly. Take, for example, a peculiar creation from the 1950s that has left many scratching their heads. Even today, there are very few who remember what this invention was originally intended for.
The image shows a machine with a circular part on top and cords attached to it, with small items adorning the cords. It’s an electric device, complete with a power cord. As it turns out, this machine was quite popular back in the day, used in many businesses and even some homes.
So, what was this enigmatic invention used for? Believe it or not, it was actually a wave machine that was used to give people a permanent. The patent for this device was held by Marjorie Joyner, who owned a beauty salon in Chicago. She wanted to revolutionize the process of giving perms, making it easier and faster.
However, the machine had its flaws. It often tangled the hair and could even cause burns if left on for too long. As a result, it didn’t receive the warm welcome it might have if it had been better thought out.
It’s fascinating how an invention from the past can be so easily forgotten. But every once in a while, we stumble upon these mysterious relics and are reminded of the ingenuity and creativity of those who came before us.
