Hello Guys,
I've always known Hoover Constellations with this name, yesterdayI was surfing on ebay and I found some french ADs in which it was called "la boule" the ball, the sphere... Do any of you know other names it was given through the years and around the world? Just curious!!! Tommy CLICK HERE TO GO TO tommymilan's LINK on eBay |

-refers to it as the Sphereical Miracle.The first here(blue,1955)did not "float on a cushion of air".Was this the same for Europe? |

Yes, the first constellations here did not float, from memory that did not happen till the introduction of the 822A in 1958.
It was always a curiosity to me that in Finland (courtesy Markus79) constellations did not float until LONG after that time - at least 10 years, maybe longer. If I am not mistaken it was only the non-floating versions that had the hinged base Al |
