on the soldering method mentioned - back in the day (and even up to the
1950s) some soldering irons were just big old copper things and they were
heated by an open flame or torch.  When you needed the 'soldering' iron,
you removed it from the flame and used the hot iron to solder whatever you
were working on. It avoided, obviously, having an exposed flame in
proximity to the parts you were soldering. Plus a bit more controlled.  I
do remember seeing such an iron at one time.
