First
introduced in 1910, after several years of research and development,
the vacuum product line would become one of their
broadest with exposure to residential, commercial and industrial
markets. During the first few years, a joint venture produced an
identical line of portables under the Western-Electric label.
The
portable vacuums were composed of a light aluminum fan
and case, connected to a dust separator. The fan was
driven by a direct-connected bi-polar type motor.
Westinghouse shut the line down in 1945.
