   Hi There, The Mixmaster's rather stylish look over the Jepson years owed no smallish design debt to the U.S. automotive industry. (In fact, among the many designers who spent time working on the Jepson team was one of the greats of automotive design, Raymond Loewy.) The Jepson R and D team was nothing if not well in touch with American consumers seeking a little aesthetic pizazz in hand with durable function for their postwar dollars, just as they had been in touch with Depression-era and prewar era buyers seeking likewise. They were also very well in touch, from the evidence, with the nation's surging passion for its cars. The Jepson team's production indicates they were determined to meet those desires without sacrificing their time-tested formula of product strength, versatility, and practicality. And meet them they did, flush on, without fail, and certainly without skipping too many beats. In fact, the Sunbeam Mixmaster which succeeded Model 9 in 1950 all but predicted at least one of the lengths to which American automotive designers would go in giving motorists some highway and streetside s*x appeal... Meet Model 10, which debuted in September 1950.* Though at first glance you might mistake it for a slightly modified Model 9, the motor head is slightly larger than the 5-9 series. The handle is the same style as the 5-9 handle, but it is slightly longer. The front motor cap grille, too, suggests 5-9, but it was modified now to a three-slot grille, down from the former six. Also, the motor shell is now a single tubular unit; there is no longer an individual, sectional sleeve for the conductor and governor. Speaking of automotive, lo! Tail fins on the famous Mix-Finder Dial! (Rear motor ventilation, by the way, was in the dial itself, as on the 5-9 series.) Add that to the curvy double-hockey-stick trim on the motor sides, curving back into a shape you might have seen along the sides of the big, fancy-looking cars for which the decade would become renowned. You just might have an appliance which may inadvertently have the aesthetic credit (or the blame, depending upon your point of view) for helping open the way to the tail-finned, car-crazy, cruisin'-for-a-bruisin' country the United States became somewhere around mid-decade.
