I think I may have one of the machines you are referring to. Mine is a bit older (1950) but they probably continued the idea for a while. It was made by Fillery. Basically it looked like a standard upright vacuum cleaner but when you turned it over there was a place for attaching two circular brushes. A lever on the back switched it over from clean to polish. moving it to polish brings down the polishing brushes and engauges their drive. Doug |

Doug, that is a very interesting looking machine. What a great idea. Thanks for sharing the picture with us. Do you use this machine? |

The Fillery Vacuum Polisher I found is the same colours as Doug's but has no mechanism for disengaging the brushes and the bag attaches in the back like a Hoover. Sadly mine has no bag and I have yet to find the maroon generic sateen bag I know I have hidden away somewhere that I intend to fit to it. Dave CLICK HERE TO GO TO aeoliandave's LINK |
