New York, July 4 (IBNS): Internet search engine Google on Wednesday designed its homepage with a doodle to mark the invention of a powered vacuum cleaner by Hubert Cecil Booth.

The interactive and animated doodle marked the  British engineer's 147th birth anniversary.

In the doodle, one could see an operator cleaning a carpet using Booth's first design, nicknamed "Puffing Billy".

As per the Google doodle website:"Booth started the British Vacuum Cleaner Company in 1903, and his flagship product—a somewhat smaller electric device that arrived in a bright red van and was operated by experts in BVCC uniforms—was soon embraced by fashionable households and even the British royal family. Watching the Puffing Billy suck dust out the window of your home became a fun afternoon activity, lending housework a certain social cachet. "
