What mistress does not know such a problem as dust. She whirls, settles, rises, falls again and does not get rid of her, if she is simply brushed off from surrounding objects. It is known that in the middle of the XIX century in America the first vacuum cleaners were made - devices that allow dust and dirt to be removed from different surfaces.

The technology of vacuuming of the XIX century was based both then and now on the absorption of dust by air flow. Dust and litter accumulate in a special device - a dust collector. Before the invention of the device, dust was most often wiped with a rag or a special brush, various panicles were used.

The first device patented by the American Daniel Hess also could not do without a brush. The device contained a whole system of special bellows, which made it possible to create an air flow for dust intake. This stream later met on its way water chambers for its subsidence in their bowels. It is not known for certain whether this device was manufactured or used by someone.

The current model of Hubert's vacuum cleaner Cecil Booth, an English engineer and inventor, nicknamed "Snorting Billy", was completed by him in 1901. This device was very different from the ancestors. Firstly, he worked on gasoline, and secondly, contained a five horsepower vacuum pump. Another distinguishing feature was the huge size, which did not allow him to fit in almost all rooms. Imagine a picture: a horse-drawn cart drove up to the house, which was parked near the curb. To clean the carpets they had to be taken out of the house onto the street. Only a team of four could load, unload and make this vacuum cleaner work. In addition, a 30-meter hose was attached to the vacuum cleaner, which was brought into the premises through the windows.

There is evidence in history that the peak of the glory of Booth's car came at a difficult time when it became necessary to clear the plague barracks at the docks of the capital of England.

It is a known fact that during the time of Edward VII the royal court took advantage of the services of this team, which before its coronation tidied the blue carpet of Westminster Abbey, which was huge in size.

Many historical persons of that time got acquainted with this device: Kaiser Wilhelm, future Tsar Nikolai. Nevertheless, for quite a long time, the vacuum cleaner was an outlandish device, although it was quite popular.

Not without historical oddities. Since horses were the main vehicle of that time in London, in order not to frighten these animals with the sight and roar of vacuum cleaners, the chief police chief simply forbade using them on the street.
