~ From the Model E instruction manual:
....Hose in suction end, hose handle inserted through the brush of the smaller all-purpose tool, putting the smooth surface of the upholstery cleaner in position for use.
Note how the sides of the upholstery cleaner are hinged. They will fit curved surfaces of the furniture or flatten out for larger areas....

That's a difficult question to answer. To my knowledge the dual action dusting brush first appeared with the model 62 in Europe (1958), with the model Z54 (1953) in Canada and with the model E (1954) in the US. So technically the first ones were in Canada, however, if I remember correctly they were made in the US for the Canadian Machines so the US version is the original.
