These are the 1941 General Electric models launched right before World War II. The tank type has a unique bag system and named that model the "Air-flo". The upright allowed the new owner to choose a set of cleaning attachments OR the hand vac.

The only vacuum manufacturer allowed to make cleaners during the war for civilian use was Rexair (but you had to have a doctor's prescription). After the war, GE came out with a brand new, much longer tank type style. In 1948, they added the disposable bag (made of pressed cotton). In 1953, the Swivel Top canister style was launched and the tank-type GE went away.
