Abstract
An electric vacuum cleaner has a generally opaque housing enclosing a bruch roller rotatable about a horizontal axis, a motor, and a belt or the like extending from the motor to a pulley on or affixed to the brush roller, for driving the brush roller. A transparent window is provided in the top of the housing and aligned with the belt, and highly contrasting markings are provided on the belt, thereby to enable an operator to determine, viewing the belt through the window, the moving condition of the belt.
