AIRPORT VACUUM CLEANER.—This big machine, with six nozzles which inhale air at the rate of nearly 35 miles an hour, was demonstrated at the Baltimore airport last week. The 15-ton sweeper is equal to 1200 home-type vacuum cleaners and can clean an area of 2,000,000 square feet in eight hours. The damage suffered by jet aircraft sucking loose bolts and nuts into their engines is supposed to be eliminated by the new cleaner.
