With so much time on my hands I decided to organize and re-do my vacuum cleaner paper archives. Now I can actually find what I am looking for!

Question

I know you are not an idiot. My phone a pixel 4xl takes a pic and converts it to a PDF.
If you wanted a digital library this info may help.

Paper has its advantages. A scanner would be way better than a phone.

Compliments

You are an amazing guy and I guessed before looking through the photos that your largest collection of information would be on Electrolux! Fun stuff and Happy Hobbying!

I’d love to see your Model S out for play if you get really bored and feel like digging it out. I come across so few.

Maybe bring out the Small polisher too for us...and that pesky downstairs lady and her broomstick!

My Aunt lived in a two family (It was my Aunt who had the XXX after her mother, my Grandmother, passed away that I have now by the way) and the lady downstairs rented from her and when we would visit as kids I remember the lady downstairs doing the same thing when we would get too rambunctious!

Have a nice day

Jon

The new feature on phones is the item is scanned by the camera. It's not perfect technology yet.

They have handheld mini scanners that you just drag over the page. You do not have to squash or ruin the binding of the books/manuals. It saves the file to a memory card that you can take out and put in your PC.

Very admirable!

I suspect that yours is one of only a few personal libraries with such items; and, sadly, regarding Aerus-Lux's archives I'd bet that much of it was duscarded when the Old Greenwich factory was shuttered. I hate to think, too, of such ephemera being tossed when franchises close. Anyway, glad you've collected such a wide and varied assortment.

As for me, my print surface cleaner literature, mainly Electrolux USA with a few Kirby Company & Hoover Company materials, fits in a shoebox.

The sooner it can be scanned and saved and shared the sooner it will be safe and preserved.

As is now, a fire or earthquake could take that stuff with it and be gone for good.

Once it's in a digital archive, there are so many people that will have saved it, etc.
