Will, THANK YOU for helping Hans out & being generous enough to take the time to post this for him. It will make Hans very happy, & even more importantly, this ends the argument that got started over a simple request.

McAllister instructions

Great,rare and interesting booklet!
This raises the question of which came first,McAllister or Silver King,as there are similarities of features,suggested uses and mid west locations.Any connections?

It occurred to me that this machine also is very similar to the Fairfax. I wonder if there are any connections there.

Sometimes it is the problems to be solved with the technology and materials available in a given era that drives different engineers to arrive at similar, even identical, solutions to those problems.

Re Fairfax..

I used to think it was a early fairfax,,,and it DOES look like one, but it is different tooling, the McAllister is smaller in diameter and of course the attachments are nothing at all similar..The McAllister is a great machine, I have the hose ,wands and dusting brush, Clay Floyd had the attachments and I think they are in the museum at Tacony, the rug tool is really special, big and ugly, but it really cleanes great!

The McAllister uses the same lamb motor as a round Lewyt, a short pan Silver King, a Filter Queen model 350, and a Eureka 800 series. They all have exactly the same suction. The Silver King was here before the McAllister. Both claimed to be able to pick up water, just like Lewyt claimed for their first model (40).
