Vacuum Museum
Original Message Aug 27, 2009 1:46 pm

Thought the Dyson discussion board would be interested in reading a small article about the Tacony Museum. Also Carmine's old friend.....

If my vacuum can remove even one spec of dirt that yours misses, then mine is better than yours - even if there's no proof that mine would have picked up as much dirt as yours...

Can you buy 3M style clothlike bags for lux?

The smart tyrant writes his own story to ensure that it is favorable. The lazy will repeat lines from the book without fact checking.

If not, I would suggest that one of the larger 3M clothlike bag, says the HOOVER Style Y, be cut to fit the bag holder cavity, before the Lux paper bag is inserted.

Hi Carmine,

Doesn't Perfect Lux sell the 3M style bag?

Well, I know I'm late in posting this, but back in Sept. I was at the museum, and took com pictures. http://www.flickr.com/photos/16134441@N06/sets/72157622244348793/ Theres really a lot to see, and the way its set up is very interesting, each vacuum in a section that is set up the way it might look at the time the vacuums were new. I definitely recommend it for anyone that likes vacuums, as theres something for everyone, and you'll see vacuums you've never seen before.

Thanks Vacuuman. Your pictures, and the museum, offer a great display of vacuums and cleaning appliaces that we probably won't see the like of again. I'm looking forward to seeing it myself one day.

In regard to the Tacony plant, does it only handle assembly or molding, etc., as well?

Best,

Venson
