This article showing 20 photos of things from the 50s came up in my news
feed today and I rather surprised by a couple of them:

I'm perplexed by Photo #17 which purports to be a "double oven". I'm not
sure what a "double oven" but the name suggests that it would have TWO
separate oven compartments in it; perhaps each could be set to a
different temperature if you wanted to cook two separate items that
needed different temperatures. I don't see anything resembling a second
oven in the picture: it looks just like pretty much every stove I've
ever seen with a stove top containing several burners, an oven, and
finally a drawer for various cooking supplies like pans or whatever.

That's a double oven. The top oven has the cloth hanging over the handle
and below it you can see another handle on a shorter unit. It's most likely
that the larger top oven is a regular oven and the smaller unit is just for
broiling.

No, thst's not a double oven, The bottom part is for warming things up.
Now a days, we store dishes in it.
