I was perusing old advertisements for canister/cylinder cleaners, and I saw an ad for that classic round Sunbeam canister vac from 1956 which featured a large air driven turbo brush for carpets.
Was that the first turbo carpet nozzle on the market? Did any other vac-maker come out with a turbo nozzle before 1956? |

I know Preco made their air driven nozzles for a lot of different machines during that era but I dont know when they first came out. My 1960 Lewyt 120 has one (it was an option) as does my 1964 Singer C7 Power Master (also an option). The 1958 and 1959 Singer ads show the preco nozzle in them as well so they were available at least that early. Anyone Know of earlier ones???
