How about everybody posts a picture of their Vintage collection ?

Here is mine...

I forgot to say i maintain 11 Henry,s and a Charles in my work here is one of them, they are all 110v versions

 

[jmurray01]

Whoa, that is a battered Henry! I bet he still works great though ? Numatic made him well

What is that plug fitted ? Is it one of those heavy duty ones used outside ?

Oh, and do the work Henrys run with or without a bag ?

I'd guess without for cost savings, but I hope they run with a bag.

The plugs on them are different because they are 110volt versions.
None of ours use the bags or the attachments just the hose you see in the photo.

 

[jmurray01]

So why do you have the 110V versions compared to the standard 240V ?

@ Jamie
The reason they are 110v is that certain places of work require for health and safety that they use a lower voltage to minimise the risk of serious electric shock.

 

[jmurray01]

I see, but does the lower voltage mean it can't have as many watts in the motor ?

Great collection Jason! I envy you!

Hey Jamie - Wattage is calculated by amperage drawn multiplied by voltage Eg a 660 Watt motor designed to run on 220 Volts draws 3 amps while the same 660 Watt motor designed to run on 110Volts draws 6 amps. Its just a matter of using the appropriate motor for the voltage supplied. Usually the models all have the same Wattage motor, just designed for the Voltage they are required to use.
