Not a balloon heater by the way, nothing that exotic.
I saw this in a sort of antique shop in a local garden centre so took the pics ready for when it was my go again. There's another view of it, but it has a name on so I couldn't use it, but I can tell you that this view has a 'receptacle' for a mains plug/lead. I can also tell you that this might be part of something else. I thought at first it was all of it (other than what goes in the hole) but research shows I might wrong.

So, it pulls a vacuum, has a hose attached to it and a brand name on the other side that would give it away . . . whatever could it be?Wilier Izoard XP0

You just have to say the words if you want to post the next picture.

is it a vacuum cleaner?my bike - faster than god's and twice as shiny0

Blimey, how did you work that out?sungod wrote:is it a vacuum cleaner?
I found out later that it's actually part of a vacuum cleaner and a very strange looking beast at that.
Why the hell you'd need 3 vacuum cleaners, each with it's own cord, and then that bloody great bin is anyones guess. Apparently it was used to clean aircraft, and in particular the "queens flight" which is how it earned it's Royal Warrant.
They must have been great, because they really did well (NOT). :roll:
EDIT I've found out that the pic above is the "Triplex" and they also made a Duplex and Simplex models, and I suppose they used two and one vacuum units respectively.
Anyway, I gave Laurentian the chance to speak up, but he chose not to, so it's your go Sungod.
