I can't recall the original intent, but it was running in a lab when one of the workers walked past and it melted the candy bar in his pocket. And that's how it took a side path to your kitchen!

∙ 11y agoThe microwave was actually invented by an engineer who was working with a high powered radar dish in the 1940's. He was standing in front of the dish for a short period of time, and noticed that the Mr. Goodbar candy bar in his pants pocket completely melted.
After trial and error, they released the first microwave : the Radarange, in 1947.

Is China made in England in 1972 microwave safe?
The simple answer is yes. The more detailed answer is no. Any serving plate (your 1972 English china for example) made before the invention of the microwave oven is not microwave safe. They simple did not have the technology or foresite to incorporate microwave safe material in the plates. So please DO NOT put any product made before 1979 (the first year that commercial microwave ovens were sold) into the microwave. They will, at best, crack and, at worst, explode.
