Henry Vacuum Cleaner -Inside the factory

[optima21]

I guess there are a few guys on here who like them, so there is a programme on BBC 2 tonight at 9pm about making them.

BBC One - Inside the Factory, Series 6, Vacuums

Gregg Wallace visits a factory that makes 1.2 million vacuum cleaners every year.

I enjoyed that, aside from MrWallace being his normal, somewhat irritating self. Love a Henry.

Brilliant programme, really enjoyed it.

I used to repair Numatics as part on my job & it was interesting to see how they are put together.

Good to see that nearly everything was made in the UK, shame they didn't show how they made the hoses!

I found one of the original Numatic vacs in a skip, all metal casing but unfortunately it was too far gone to repair.

when I was a kid in the late 80’s we visited a relative in Dorset and they lived near the Numaric factory, my memory of it was that all the factory external lighting had Henry casings as lampshades

Saw the programme. Black country living museum did it again! When Ruth Goodman was being shown the Booth industrial vacuum. of ( I think ) 1901, It had a Bloody Modem plastic hose on it! DETAIL! that's what it's all about. Rest of the programme was OK, Shame the motor was made in Italy.
