The Answer...

I can actually answer this one! I'm assuming you're referring to a TriStar hose? If so, I've actually taken one apart to make my jacklegged PN cord for my non-PN vacuums.

The wiring is actually cast into the ribbing of the hose. The pattern is a 4 rib spiral, so there is a blank rib, then one wire rib, then another blank rib, then another wire rib. That spirals around until it is cast into the handle piece that houses the plug receptacle.

I would imagine that other makes and models of vacuums are very similar in this regard.

Hose...

I took a picture of the hose with one of the remnants I had available. Now you can see for yourself how the hose is made!
