New street cleaning machine demonstrated, London

Jul. 07, 1959 - New Kind Of Suction Street Cleaning Machine Demonstrated In London: West End Streets may soon be vacuum cleaned with a remarkable new street cleaning machine. Outside Marylebone Town Hall this morning there was a demonstration of the revolutionary machine for the first time this country. It removes every form of litter commonly found on the pavement and operates on a centrifugal separation system. By an ingenious arrangement the litter and heavy dust, grit, sand is collected before the fan and the lighter dust is separated and trapped in a separate compartment. It is powered by a 1 3/4 hp petrol motor and costs about £50. Photo Shows The new street cleaning machine as it cleans up the pavement during the demonstration in Marylebone today
