I don't know about other brands, but from 1960 onward, Eureka's fan-first uprights always had a way of covering the revolving brush so it would not cause damage to carpets, floors, fingers and toes. Before the pan convertor was introduced in the late 1960's, users of Eureka uprights covered the revolving brush with a "Bottom Plate" - there was even a slot to store this plastic plate in the cardboard attachment caddy. Once you covered the brush with this plate, you took off the tool port cover which was located in front of the headlight (see my avatar), and inserted the hose end. :-)
