electro.
My two favorites are Electrolux and Kirby, though I also like Air-Way. As most of the old-timers in the V.C.C.C. know it was the Electrolux model LX that got the ball rolling. As to Air-Way, I really like the uprights of the 1920's, and own two of them. However, my real interest is in the non-electrics like the Whirlwind. As to the first tank, that was called 'the 'Hercules' and dates back to 1875, the place was Rochester, New York.
These early vacuum cleaners didn't work too well, but they jumpstarted the industry. And there's a lot of information out there if people take the time to look for it.
Thanks for posting,
