Jack... Well done! I am impressed with the completeness and the excellent condition of your machines. I have to say that I really like the first Junior model the best. It seems more stylish! --Tom | ||

I agree... I prefer the 370, too. Maybe one design Dreyfuss should have left alone? lol | ||

Very, very lovely. I've always admired the 375 and would love to have one. So, here are two more machines we can add to the list of Dreyfuss hoovers then. | ||

Excellant Awesome presentation, I too like the 370, would like to have one. I can only hope for attachments for my 115 for now. Norm | ||

hey Jack, Thanks for your update, I never knew the 375 and 119 were Dreyfuss designs. I guess the 1334 was as well? Great research as ever :-) Si | ||

The 1334: I have a feeling it may have been, but I don't seem to have the pdf. of the patent documents in my collection - it might just be that I forgot to save them when I was doing the research. Glad you like the page! | ||

Beautiful Machines Congrats on some excellent finds! They appear to be in mint condition. Either that or they photograph very well. It's amazing what is still out there yet to be found. That gives us all hope. Mike | ||

LOL - Ok I just have to jump in on this one. If you are going to use a dryer socket attach the dryer cord to a 2 circuit electric panel then use 2 15 amp breakers to the european socket from there. Otherwise there is a very real fire hazzard in the case of a possible short as you are running wire that is only rated for 13 or 15 amps on a 30 amp circuit. The only possible exception is the newer style fused UK plugs and even then it would be safer using the panel as the breakers also give you a power disconnect.

Good point If you use a UK plug the maximum fuse rating is 13A- its possible to use a 5A for most classic vacs and somrthing like a Hoover Junior is fine with a 3A Seamus | ||

Hi: The way the electricity works over here (Canada and US) we actually do use a 240 V system, single phase, for homes. The transformer provides 240V on the low side of the coil which is center tapped to ground. The center tap (neutral connection) basically splits the voltage in half giving you 120V between either hot leg and the neutral. You still, however, have 240V between the two hot legs. (see the diagram below). This allows for appliances in the home (such as dryers, stoves, air conditioners etc) which use 240 V while the bulk of the house still is on 120V. We do also use 3 phase systems in industrial areas which give 120 / 208 V service but this isnt as common as the 240 /380 V system which is used in Europe even in alot of homes. Hope I made that understandable Doug

US 240V Explained Hi Doug, Thanks for the diagram - it all makes a lot more sense to me now. Nick | ||

Hey Nick: No problem. You might be interested to know that the first grounded plugs used in Canada were actually the same crowsfoot plugs that are in use in Australia. It didnt go over well as people kept just cutting off the prong and twisting the pins so they would fit normal outlets. This led to the adoption of the ones we use now instead. Doug | ||
