The cords for Electrolux vacuum cleaners were made by the Belden cord and wire company in Chicago and then Geneva, Illinois in the 1930's-the 80's. I have no info on the present date. I don't think there is a spacific name for the pig-tail, I think that IS the name. Maybe others can help on that one.

The Cord winder was made for Electrolux by the Vacuum Cleaner Corporation of Philidelphia, Pennsylvania from the mid 1940's to the 70's starting with the post war model XXX. As the Electrolux factory was in Old Greenwich, Connecticut, it was in a residental area and could not make rubber parts. Cords, and so on were farmed out to places like Belden. Interestingly, the cord winder goes back to the 1920's and was introduced by the Air-Way, Corporation of Toledo, Ohio for the early uprights. But as far as I know, Air-Way didn't use it.
