I'm missing the dusting brush and crevice tool. Rick is missing the dusting brush and crevice tool. Now Doug is missing the dusting brush and crevice tool! |

The dusting brush and crevice tool for that were gray I believe, or the few I've seen were. |

I absolutely concur with everything you are saying Rick, but do you mean the Atlas/Jet99 cloth bag touches bottom in some kind of inner chamber 'can' with a bottom central duct leading back to the fans??? Does the Atlas also use paper liner bags? Never having seen one I always figured it was configured like a Compact, with the bag hanging suspended in a large open chamber with the fan inlet off to the side (since the Compact motor/fan unit is mounted deep in the posterior region of the pig, facing the back end exhaust) with no possibility of the suspended bag contacting any surface. Indeed, the Compact - and Haleys Comet - legendary no loss of suction is achieved exactly as you describe - airflow passing through the paper liner and cloth bag from all sides. One important function of the cloth bag is to keep the paper liner from rupturing under the +80". Most vintage cylinder vacuums with circular cloth bags such as Lux 30s, Westinghouse, Hoover, Filtex, Monitor, Kingston, Mayer, GE, Premier, and so on have chamber interiors larger and longer that the bag which under power keeps the bag 'inflated' from touching any of the walls. A picture down inside the Atlas bag chamber would be ever so helpful in learnin' me sumthin' new. Dave |

Here's a picture of the bag chamber inside my Jet99, showing the bag still filled with Kapok from the 2008 Convention! |

In this view, you can see the ribs intended to direct air around the bag - provided the bag didn't cover up the filter and suction inlet at the bottom. |

Mm, those shallow softly rounded ribs can't make much of an impression since the cloth bag would hug them with ease. Oh wait, the kapok stuffed bag appears to taper away from the sides? Nevermind the ribs but obviously if the bag touches bottom yer right back where ya started. Now, if that can was perforated like an Air-Way...but I suppose that would have gotten them into patent infringement territory. Dave |
