Iron's Birthday: his first documentary mention
February 10, 1636
February 10, 1636
Devices for smoothing clothes were invented a long time ago.
In the 4th century BC. e. in ancient Greece, the methods of pleating clothing from the canvas with the help of a hot metal rod resembling a rolling pin were used.
For the smoothing of clothes in ancient times, slightly processed heated cobblestones were used.
In Russia, before the appearance of the iron, the fabric was also smoothed with a frying pan heated on hot coals or a log - a device from a corrugated wooden board and rolling pin. The thing that needed to be patted was wound on a rolling pin and a plank along it.
The first mention of the iron was found in the book of expenses of the royal yard. The entry is dated February 10, 1636. The mentioned and described iron at the cost of 5 altyns belonged to the simplest heating type. Weighed about 10 kilograms and was monolithic.
In the 18th century, wind irons were used, which had a lid for loading coal, it was necessary to blow out the lateral holes on the iron for blowing the coals.
Then came the irons, in the case of which there was a metal tube for connection to the gas cylinder, a pump was located on the cover of the iron.
There were also alcohol irons resembling a kerosene lamp. The surface of such an iron was heated with alcohol, poured in, which was set on fire as necessary. Due to the lack of alcohol, this innovation did not last long. For a long time irons were available to a few and were a luxury. So for an alcohol iron you could buy a herd of sheep.
There were also aluminum irons, created not for ironing, but for exporting non-ferrous metal abroad.
With the advent of electricity and the development of technology, electric irons appeared. From the point of view of electrical engineering, their principle is based on the release of thermal energy during the passage of an electric current through a resistive heating element. Typically, the design of the iron provides the location of the heating element as close as possible to the sole and the presence of a handle of thermally insulated material to avoid burns. In modern electric irons, there is a small water tank, water is used to form steam, which allows for greater ironing efficiency.
Brownie Treat Day
Brownie - good spirit. Usually he is a zealous owner helping a close-knit family. Sometimes mischievous, if he does not like it. It scares those who do not care about the household and livestock.
On this day, the brownie is fed with porridge, leaving her on the lid with the sentence:
''Master-father, take our porridge!
And eat pies - take care of our home!''
If the grandfather-neighbor is left without goodies, then from the kind keeper he will turn into a rather fierce spirit.
In some areas, the holiday is celebrated in the old style - January 28th.
