closure. It was the plight of invention. Valuable, untapped material fell on a
day when the charging hole punching of sheet metal drums: black plate waste.
The idea of making out of these round pieces of
sheet metal Einkochdeckel was close. Finally, there was hardly a housewife who
does not regularly boiling down fruit and vegetables from the garden.
