Why did early Kenmore hoses have the holes at the end? |

I have dreaming about having a 78 Blue Kenmore Very Best Canister model since forever. What I have never been able to figure out was why they had the four air holes at the end of the hose? The model already had speed control and a suction regulator on the hose. If I can get one I would have to find a hose that didn't have those four holes. You lose so much suction with that issue.

I have heard the same thing about the holes being a safety suction relief. However, it is interesting to know that later Kirby hose ends deleted the holes (Legend for example). So not sure if safety was the real reason for them... | ||
