Could this have been a UK thing? The records I have for the US model just lists production dates(August to November 1929) and prices. No mention of a 200b.
I was once told this was nothing more than an upright motor mounted sideways in a new case... not so, it is similar to the motors Hoover was using in its uprights, but this is more powerful.
What is the point of it?

It sounds a lot like an old forge blower a friend of mine has. The thing runs at 5000 rpm.

Hey Jeff, is this not Model 200B? I thought the 200 had its switch on the side of the motor, rather than on the cord?

I checked it Jack, the model number is stamped on the bottom of the fan housing, it just reads "model 200"

That's odd...perhaps some Model 200s had the cord switch also...I thought the design change occurred when 200B was launched, but I must be wrong!
