North Ayrshire's Yesterd@ys
Daisy Vacuum Cleaner
Early vacuum cleaner made and patented by A. S. Isles & Co., Birmingham, in the 1890s. 'Daisy' was a registered trademark, part of which was an image of the eponymous flower.
The machine has a wooden body on four iron wheels with spokes, attached to the cleaner are four handles and an iron drive-wheel with a wooden handle. Inside are bellows, a dust box and an inlet for its hose.
This is a carpet cleaner for a wealthy household. It took two people to operate it; one turning the wheel to produce a vacuum from the bellows and another to direct the hose nozzle.
