Hello All,
Just thought that some of you would find this interesting. I believe the brochure was used for both Singer A-1 and A-2. I had an A-2 a few years back. I think these were designed or built by Sturtevant. Other Members most likely know more about these early Singer vacuums. Thank you for looking, Pete | ||

Singer A-2 Vacuum
Hello All and dysonman1,
Thank you dysonman1 I now understand. If I am right the A-2 used what became the R-1 handle with 2-Speed switch. I sold the A-2 many years ago and while that might have been a mistake I am okay with it. When I bought it I was told both wheels had bad flat spots which can be seen in the last picture. Also in the last picture you see something like a 4 inch long comb behind the nozzle which might have been what they called the "Air Brush"? Thank you for looking, Pete | ||

Hello Rolls_rapide and all,
I tried that after I made some wooden wheels when I owned the A-2 and I never really saw the advantage. I believe in 1924 or so I think I would have bought a Hoover 541 over the Singer A-1 or A-2. While saying that I do believe my Singer R1 is a great dirt picker upper and possibly as good as my Hoover 800 2-speed. If one wants they can check this out on YouTube: Sturtevant Vacuum Cleaner circa 1915 It is similar to the Singer A-1 and A-2. Thank you for looking, Pete | ||
