I wanted to share with you 3D replicas I’m working on a project of James Kirby first vacuum circa 1906. Throughout the literature I have there are a couple of versions . Let me know if you have any other information about this odd looking vacuum ..
some confuse it for is the domestic cyclone which was a different vacuum. Please share any info you have Ty
was the 'Domestic Cyclone.' It was a non-electric which used a pan of water instead of a dust bag. Jim Kirby was only 22 when he invented this but would go on to create some awesome things not only vacuum cleaners. In 1908 he redesigned it to be an electric, and without the water!
If you want the complete story on James B. Kirby email me at [email protected]. I have a complete file of Kirby patents, however, not here with me. But in there is the Domestic cyclone. His first upright was called 'The Broomstick,' that was 1910.
