[QUOTE="Happy!, post: 11304, member: 237"]Nope, no vents anywhere. Been reading online and the first electric drill with a trigger mechanism was invented around 1917, I think. It has vent holes. From about 1900 to that time, one site mentioned all aluminum bodies that were built like a truck. Bakelite was invented in 1906, but looks like not widely used in factories until the 1930s, so not sure if that even helps to date this...[/QUOTE]
