This is 'Henry' the Hoover' - but of course, he's not strictly a Hoover but a plain old 'vacuum cleaner', the names having become synonomous over the years since the original Hoover arrived in the early 20thC.
You see these chappies all over the place now - particularly popular with builders and office cleaners as they seem to cope with robust conditions! (Like my son's bedroom, come to think of it....)
Not strictly a Finsec event, but here's a few photos of the Service and Food Workers' Union Nga Ringa Tota rally in Wellington on International Cleaners Day.
The 'Fair Deal for Cleaners' campaign that this rally is part of aims to provide a voice to the low-waged largely immigrant female workforce, in cities across Australia and New Zealand, who are calling on big property owners to support decency in their workplaces.

The cleaners were hard at work cleaning this 19D, presumably in preparation for it being outstationed on one of the local branches.

Journal entry for April 18, 2007
The hospice gave me sponge swabs that look like tiny toilet bowl cleaners. You wet them down and use them to clean someone's teeth and help keep their mouth moist. Ginny was willing to give this a shot. As I delicately scrubbed her teeth and gums, I said, "I'm trying not to gag you."
She mumbled, "Mmmfffr gldg breer tat."
I pulled the swab out and asked, "What'd you say?"
She made a face. "I said, I'm glad to hear that!"

Hank always thought there are a couple benefits with creaking middle age; you finally get to the point where you don't care much what folks think of you and you are comfortable with what you know and what you don't know. Sneaky Pea was long shot; Hank knew that going in- sometimes he hates being right. When he got back to the station the desk Sergeant informed him another building burned, this one an old abandoned tool and die shop in the same area down by the bridge. Hank thought, one or two fires is a coincidence, six is a conspiracy. Maybe now the guys in the station will believe him. They had all been chalking the fires up the general crime trends. Buildings burn every day in the city, some by accident and others by arson. Hank knew better but the answer wasn’t in the station it was on the street.
He jumped in his car and headed over to the east side. Maybe his first collar, old Crazy Max Steiglitz can provide a few clues. Crazy Max was once a minor legend in Detroit. He got started running errands for the Purple Gang as a kid growing up on Oakland Avenue. He spent a few stints up in Jackson, the last one on a collar by newly promoted detective Hank Willie Hall some 30 years back. Since he got out Crazy Max has been running a small cleaners over off Davison.
Hank pulls into the back alley and knocks on the back door, “Max, open the door.”
Using the cat like caution of merchants surviving in this area, he slowly opens the door keeping his shoulder and body weight pressed against the door. Then he racks the shot gun with his free hand, “Who the hell is it?”
“Max, it’s me, Detective Hall. Put the shot gun down”
“You gotta’ warrant?”
“I just need to ask you a few questions. Give me five minutes.”
Max opens the door and scans the alley while letting Hank in.
“I’m not in the business anymore. I don’t talk to my old contacts and I don’t talk to cops. Make it fast.”
“What do you know about the fires around the bridge?”
“Nothin’. Why you askin’ me?”
“I have run into dead ends. Two firemen died fighting the last one.”
Max flopped into his desk chair. “I heard about that. I hate you guys, but the firefighters are alright, they pulled me out of a building when I was kid. I haven’t heard anything, read in the Free Press they are not connected.”
“I think they are. I think the bastards behind them have worked like hell to make them seem random.”
Max pauses for a minute. Puts his glasses back on, looks at Hank and says, “There are two types of people that do crazy shit like this. One type is in it for the rush, the thrill of stickin’ it to the man. The other type is more dangerous. They are in it for the money and the power. Now if I’m the type that is doing it for the rush, in the back of my mind I want to be caught, I want the stage. These guys are leaving no clues. I’d follow the money.”
“Ok. What money? Half the damn buildings were falling down and uninsured.”
“Typical cop. Looking at the nickels and dimes while the big bills are being passed right in front of you. Think bigger”
“Oh, come on. You can’t be serious. The guy’s a billionaire. He could just buy the buildings up cash.”
“Do you think he got those billions by being a choir boy? The guy ain’t Warren Buffett.”
Hank knew he was getting in deep and over his head, again.....
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.
