Having two direct air fans in sequence would increase the pressure (water lift) which would be great for attachment use. Both Singer and Air-Way's two fan uprights were different. What a coincidence that the patent for the pictured machine expired about two years before Air-Way launched their twin fan DirtMasteR.

No.Will try to begin a search of many file boxes of vac literature. You're finding some great vac history.Did filing a patent at that time require a working model to be built? |

I think you might be referring to a Graybar two-fan. Model 20 and 25 Here are some pics of ads and of my machine that I haven’t had the chance to rebuild yet. |

Found on marketplace. I think it came from NC. Had to beg them for a few weeks to ship it to me. They only wanted to do local pick up. |

That is crazy.. All the more reason to thoroughly comb Marketplace. I just got the no. 30 Handy Cleanerette mentioned in the ad, cute little thing.
