How the device works

The device is a vacuum made by The Eureka Company. It is labeled The Boss Model 56 Type B. It's primary role was to use suction to suck up debris such as dirt, bits of paper, and various items that are small and light enough to be sucked in. It's power source is a cord that connects to a 120V power source. the motor itself operates at 60Hz. attached to the motor is the primary operating switch that turns the device on and off. it's case is made of plastic and the motor itself consists of aluminum and copper. The fan blade used to create the appropriate amount of suction is made of plastic and is different from most fan blades where each blade is an angle but rather the blades for this vacuum are perpendicular to the rotational spin of the motor. This device would be used for small vacuum jobs as it is a small device and would have to be emptied periodically since the debris compartment is small. Here is the layout of the vacuum cleaner's on and off switch.
