Controlled Suction
Hey Tom - I would agree with you about the origins of "Controlled Suction". The Hoover 53 was the first machine I can remember that had the suction control knob. They bumped the suction up with two fans on the 53 and I can attest, that is has much more suction than the 51. Now that I see the term used with the 51, I wonder if it has something to do with the design of the tools. After all, the Aero-Dyne was really their first suction-only machine. I just looked back at the ads and indeed, it has to do with the design of the rug tool. Check out this ad with Lucy (one of my favorites.)

51 to 53
I am pretty sure that the suction control knob was added on the Aero-Dyne 53. I have a 51 and a 53 with the Veri-flex hose and the suction control knob in only on the 53. It is fairly clear to me that the "controlled suction" terminology refers to the rug tool innovation somewhere between the 50 and the 51. Definitely marketing hype. The rug tool that came out with the 51 works pretty well though. I was just showing it to my sister-in-law while giving a tour of the "collection." They just don't make them like this any more!
