Just a little baby Hoover.

Always waiting for me when I return

This was 7944 off the line most likely day two of production in 1973

A nod to the Brits

An array in green

Around the room around the house around the world

Well, it's just about time to

pack it up and head for Pennsylvania.
It certainly was a whirlwind of activity. Many thanks to Tom, Heather, Glen, Jane, Ed, Dick, JoEllen, and the rest. It was a wonderful time. I'll be back again, hopefully sooner than later).
I hope you've enjoyed 'coming along with me on my trip to North Canton".
I'll be home in a couple of hours, God willing.
Until then..........
"HAPPY HOOVERING".

Outstanding, John....many thanks!


 


I sure wished I could find a Euro Constellation with the "diffuser" for the motor brush dust. Taken care of in the reissue Connie, but not in the original US run. Imagining too what that prototype Connie PN must have been like and why it never made production.

<span style="font-family: helvetica;">Wow, thanks for the great pictures. It looks like you had a lot of fun. Tom has so many unusual vacuums. That very old Junior was a real surprise.</span>

The Kinston NC DuPont plant used to generate their own power.Becuase of environmental issues they don't anymore-probably the case with Hoover.The transmitter plant I am at is on the same 115Kv line as DuPont and Weyerhasuer.Probably Hoover sold surplus power to the utility.So that is a substation I see there.Like looking at power substations!

University of Missouri @Columbia sat on its own coal reserves. They generated their own power for the campus....no doubt they sold their surplus to the local power company. I wonder now with coal being so un-PC if they quit that practice.

A huge thank you goes out to John and Tom for sharing this with us. I enjoyed all the pictures as always.

Real1shep,
I would imagine the Hoover power nozzle idea was probably put on hold due to the disaster with Lewyt as did many companies. Had it not been for that I think everyone would have had a power nozzle much sooner.
