When I was 14 I was hired by a neighbor to clean an office building every Saturday. It was my first job. I used a Kirby vacuum cleaner similar to the one in the illustration. I learned to take it apart and replace the rubber drive belt. It was one of the only machines I have ever understood. Years later I used a Kirby vacuum cleaner in a performance art piece to draw grinning idiot energy down from the air.
