Anyone know...
Who invented or married a dedicated motor to a brushroll? - Was it Airway, Hoover or another?
Here's one of at least 3 powernozzle designs, intended to be used in conjuction with a central vacuum system, patented by Hoover in September 1919. I don't know if this is actually the first dedicated brush-roll motor, but it's certainly an early one:
DIB - Many Air-Way patents are filed under the name D. B. Replogle. Hope this helps!

Model2, I gotta tell you... it is refreshing to see others post patents. Patents are King and tell an accurate story too. I’ll be taking a closer look at your/the patents posted when I have more time. Thanks! DIB

Model2, Many thanks for the Air-Way inventors name! I never would have found this company or its inventor without your help. He was a “golden goose”, his creativity has generated billions for others. Although I cannot understand why Air-Way believed in product that did not fold up like a typical upright, it was brutal to store. Many great individual parts (innovations), placed on a terrible platform. DIB
