Hey Brian:

The GE AVC 815 and the Eureka 800 both first appeared in 1952 so very hard to say which came first.

Bylock Tank!

Those attachments pictured are almost EXACT copies of Apex!!

Thanks for that info, Doug - very interesting!

Bylock

Seems like time for another thread The attachements, at least in the earlier 1950s models ARE exactly the same as the Apex tools, later on not so much so - seems like the cleaners evolved somewhat from the earlier, Apex designed models.

Just out of interest, when DID Apex stop manufacturing?

Hey Hans - the only difference between the Apex and Bylock (or President in Canada)attachments was that the Apex machines parts were 1 1/4" and the Bylock parts were 29mm (1 1/8"). The President machines, which were made for State Vacuum Stores in the US and Canada were made by Apex for the US Stores with the larger parts and by Bylock for the Canadian stores with the smaller parts.

Apex..

Stopped manufacturing cleaners in 63 I believe, the Apex attachments i have are slightly smaller than 1 1/4, in other words an Electrolux wand will not fit into an Apex attachment.
