This lightweight (10-pound), 205-watt machine keeps a house spiffy in a myriad of ways. Snap scrub brushes onto its two power shafts and it scours hard floors. With three sets of pads, it will then wax, buff, and polish those same floors. In carpeted areas, snap on two shampoo brushes and get the carpets deeply clean. For floors that can be cleaned with water, and for carpets, a removable 1-gallon tank serves for mixing water and floor cleaner (a 16-ounce bottle is included) or water and rug-and-carpet shampoo (a 16-ounce bottle is included) that is then dispensed using a finger trigger. The machine is 43 inches high, has a handle hole for hanging in a closet, and assembles with a single nut and bolt (which are included). An accompanying booklet provides instructions for cleaning and polishing various hard floors and carpets by using different materials and methods. Hoover warrants the machine against defects for one year. --Fred Brack

Fanciful Name: The Worshipful Company of Wax Chandlers
The Wax Chandlers Company received its Royal Charter in 1484 and was a tradesmen guild for the beewax and candle trades. Before the days of the electric bulbs, beewax was very expensive and only the very wealthy could afford light after dark, and the Wax Chandlers Co. was a very powerful livery company. In the Medieval times, the Church, the Monrach and the noble families only use beewax whereas ordinary people used tallow candles.
The Co. of the Wax Chandlers has owned this site at No. 6 Gresham Street since 1501.
Nowadays the Company is mostly involved in charitable works and their hall is for hire for social functions.
Applying wax with the Canting during batik process
Batik is a process of selectively dyeing a cloth using wax to inhibit the colour. This art is developed to very high standards in Indonesia. To achieve very fine designs, they use a tool called canting, which has a small (say 5 ml capacity) cup to hold the wax and a small tube attached to it through which wax can flow out.
Great concentration is needed to do this type of designs
