My sister, brother, his wife and her sister just returned from a 17 day visit to England, Wales, and Northern Ireland. My sister had mentioned seeing a Henry vacuum cleaner somewhere on their tour, after I had mentioned the members in the British Isles. She was wondering if it was the first or last name of the company founder, since our last name is Henry. Anyone here have one of these machines, or information? Thank you. Alan | ||

Well, Numatic have been going since the early 1970s.. they made their first vacuums out of trash cans, washing up bowls, suitcase handles, furniture castors and of course, industrial motors. I'm not joking :P so yeah Alan, you got lucky ;] | ||

I was corrected last night, my family were in Ireland, Wales and England, and they sent me a pic of the Henry in a hotel in Stratford-On-Avon, which I tried to post, but the image was too large. It's a red one with a black top, and Henry in red letters. The carpet is grey with dark blue swirls on it.
